Everything ... is dominated by actress Bai Ling, who creates a full-blooded character and role model for young girls. Go to Full Review

Red Corner is a contrived and cumbersome thriller designed to showcase Richard Gere's unhappiness with Red China, which it does with such thoroughness that story and characters are enveloped in the gloom. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 18 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Frans B @FransB Apr 6 Great cast in character, cinematography is good, story is interesting enough. Directing must have been a huge challenge but was executed in a proper manner nonetheless. Considering the fact that the whole "China" set was constructed near LA airport and only 2 minutes actual footage of Beijing is included in movie, I'd say it's quite an achievement. Emotions are reflected accurately and it deserves a higher rating, imo. See more Carol C 07/10/2024 I really enjoyed this movie.. it has meaning.. I see the deeper side of the Chinese communist system .. when someone gets accused … The ending that set the accused free and the certain gun shot in the court at the ending .. that wont happen in reality obviously… but it got a happy ending .. and I like that this movie doesn’t have nude scenes … I watched a few other Richard Gere’s movies .. they have too much kissing … bed scene .. nude … I like this one lots more as it focus more on the story See more Jelisije J 01/27/2024 A very good entertaining flick where an innocent man is accused of murder by the government of China......lets just say we all know why this film got bad reviews. See more Steve D 09/20/2023 Some good acting and not much else. See more 05/13/2022 Almost utterly forgettable. I had to watch clips of the movie to realize that I had watched it a few times when it was on a movie channel a few years back. As with all Richard Gere movies, he has very limited range... but if you like how he acted in one movie, you'll probably like how he acts in the rest. See more Read all reviews
