The Missing Gun 5 reviews Wen Jiang, Wei Xiaoping
Sony Pictures, 2004
One of the best films ever made.....
+ Not at all what you might expect... + A thoughtful film
This is the first major film presented by the genius Lu Chuan. Mountain Patrol (Kekexili) is the second masterpiece of his. Like his second film, Lu Chuan has the ability to bring real, Dickens-like characters to life in a modern world of plastic people. This brings a breath of fresh air to ...

If you seek to understand...

This is a film which cries out to be seen by women around the world. It is beyond my comprehension that now, in 2008, after ...

20th Century Fox, 2000
IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS.....
+ Claire Danes' finest performance... + Brokedown palace
IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SMUGGLING DRUGS FOR A LIVING, THIS SHOULD CAUSE YOU TO REEXAMINE THAT DECISION. WELL ACTED AND PRESENTED. SORT OF A FEMALE VERSION OF 'MIDNIGHT RUN'.

Kandahar 26 reviews Nelofer Pazira, Hassan Tantai
New Yorker Video, 2003
KANDAHAR
+ Looking Behind the Veil + An Alright Drama
This is more of a docudrama than a film with a plot and satisfying ending along with character development. Roger Ebert says it well: "KANDAHAR does not provide deeply drawn characters, memorable dialogue or an exciting climax. Its traffic is in images..." It is the images that stick. This was made ...
