Quick Hit

The Face of Fu Manchu has a clean hook and isolated moments that almost save it, which keeps it well below the line. A decent premise gets left on the table.

Full Take

You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at BAD.
