      Jelisije J 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Steve D Some good acting and not much else. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Racist as fuck and politically overloaded but a good 90's crime mystery thriller if you can't speak mandarin? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review laurie s I thought this was a good movie, really exciting althought it began rather slowly. The way the primitive Chinese 'Kangeroo courts' operated seems to ring true. I liked the way the character developement took place which was how films should go. If Chinese mythology is to be believed then the participants in the diobolical human rights fiasco which takes place as a matter of course, as in Tiananmen Square as just one example, means they'll end up in Hell: Diyu is typically depicted as a subterranean maze with various levels and chambers, to which souls are taken after death to atone for the sins they committed when they were alive. The exact number of levels in Diyu and their associated deities differ between Buddhist and Taoist interpretations. Some speak of three to four "courts"; others mention "Ten Courts of Hell", each of which is ruled by a judge (collectively known as the Ten Yama Kings); other Chinese legends speak of the "Eighteen Levels of Hell". Each court deals with a different aspect of atonement and different punishments; most legends claim that sinners are subjected to gruesome tortures until their "deaths", after which they are restored to their original state for the torture to be repeated. If it was a Western Hell then Lucifer would be waiting with a red hot poker and we all know where that goes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's good movie to watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
