a Chinese or someone who knew a lot about China would enjoy the most
By a customer from London , 09 Jan 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
The movie strikes me by its very authentic way of drawing the real picture of China. Although there are some scenes showing the dark side of my country, I should not deny that they do exist in the real life. And they are not being biased on the USA side either as they did truthfully reveal the ugly face of the USA Embassy.- Was this review helpful to you?

(11)Gere-ate... (sorry, all the other puns were taken)
By Tomosan (41 reviews) from Hindhead , 10 Oct 2011Richard Gere is on form in this grown up, novelesque, courtroom drama set in the People's Republic of China. In a nutshell, Gere is framed for a murder he did not commit and the conspiracy runs right to the top of the Chinese legal system. Somewhat pandering to stereotype, this is non-the-less an engaging and watchable film.- Was this review helpful to you?

top Gere!
By KenS (83 reviews) from London , 22 Dec 2009The usual very watchable performance from Gere anchors this movie somewhere in the fictional Hollywood version of present day China. That said, it so interesting to see the Chinese setting and very effective Chinese cast. One can't help but wonder if this film was ever seen in China itself. Okay so Gere suddenly acquires amazing qualities of determined warriorship, it is a movie after all!- Was this review helpful to you?

Gripping
By a customer from Surrey , 05 Jan 2009Gripping film with a polished performance from Gere and a well measured and engaging strong support from Chinese actress Bai Ling. Frightening interpretation of the Chinese judicial system, you dispair at what the Gere character goes through in trying to prove his innocence, which results in a complicated expose of that old chestnut of government corruption. I would have given the film a five had it not been for the soppy romantic ending (Casablanca came to mind!) which seemed at odds with the storyline. Good though, go watch!- Was this review helpful to you?

Chinese stereotypes
By AMB (98 reviews) from York , 29 Jun 2008Interesting idea for a story, but bogged down with every chinese stereotype known to western civilization.
Wind in the reeds, Tianeman square, marching soldiers etc etc.
Lazy hollywood.- Was this review helpful to you?
