Red Corner

A fine tale of a businessman who gets in some seriously big trouble in little China! Very believable story with some mighty fine set design RED CORNER marks a high point in Richard Gere's work. Ling Bai is also wonderful as the lawyer assigned to defend Gere who is on trial for murder. Speaking of murder, the footage Gere is shown of a government execution is in fact real and was smuggled out of China! The plot is sadly predictable but the film is so satisfying overall this can be forgiven. You could do worse in your choices for the DVD of the night!
