Dennis Harvey Variety A tell-all chronicle about how this movie came into existence might be more compelling than the film itself, and require angry denials from authorities in response. Jun 16, 2018 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Hammy and painfully incompetent: yup, this is a film co-starring Steven Seagal. Rated: 0/4 Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times If you can't tolerate stinky cheese, leave this one on the shelf. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Michelle Kisner The Movie Sleuth It's never boring and there is always some bats--- crazy stuff going on every second. Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel A wildly inept attempt to make an action film about unfair bidding practices in global telecommunications contracts. Rated: 1/5 Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Ashley Naftule Under the Radar The single worst thing about China Salesman is how it doesn't even bother to hide its propagandistic intentions. Rated: 2/10 Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D An laughable bad action film that has Steven Seagal phoning it in, Mike Tyson over acting and everyone else under acting with an terrible script, ridiculous action and it’s so overly long and dull Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review William D One of the worst movies I have ever seen and has ever been made. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Cristian s La idea está buena , la ejecución no tanto. Tiene buenos momentos de acción, sobretodo tratándose de una historia sobre tecnología (basada en un hecho real, ligeramente basada seguro). No sé cuánto habrá cobrado Seagal de los chinos para hacer este film pero sea el número que sea es una barbaridad porque se la paso sentado, estafa maestra metió. Tyson por lo menos tuvo más participación. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Alain M "China Salesman" is a 2017 action movie directed by Tan Bing and stars Mike Tyson and Steven Seagal. The movie is loosely based on real events and follows the story of a Chinese salesman named Yan Jian who travels to Africa to sell telecommunications equipment. However, Yan gets caught up in a conflict between two warring African tribes and must use his fighting skills to survive. Overall, "China Salesman" has received largely negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. Many have criticized the movie's poor writing, wooden acting, and lackluster action scenes. The plot is convoluted and often makes little sense, with characters acting in bizarre and illogical ways. The editing and pacing are also quite poor, making it difficult to follow the story. In terms of the performances, Mike Tyson and Steven Seagal are barely in the movie and do not have much to do. The main lead actor, played by Li Dongxue, is serviceable but unremarkable. The supporting cast is largely forgettable, with some actors delivering their lines in awkward and stilted English. In short, "China Salesman" is a poorly made movie that fails to deliver on any level. If you're looking for a good action movie, there are many other better options out there. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review elgar a "虚无料"造"战争恐慌"谣 祸水东引 "假救援"遭"强势痛击"伤 龟颜扫地 #DrLiMengYan1 #LiMengYan #COVID19 #YanLiMeng #Ethnicity #CCP #USCIS Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/22 Full Review Paul A Great B rated action movie like what you use to get in the 90s. The best part is that there is no toxic PC cultural or girl power rubbish. The characters are normal compared to the garbage your get from Hollywood hence you can't relate too.
