Ronnie M @spuncake Aug 11, 2026 The 2 stars are for Gong Li... John Cusack is not convincing ...period See more Jelisije J @jjosifovic Mar 2, 2023 A 2010 film that feels like a 90's film and I appreciate this movie even more. See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 2, 2022 This is a quite atmospheric, intriguing period drama thriller film, with some nice settings and costumes. I thought John Cusack did quite well as the 'gumshoe on the scene', as it were - he provides narration/voice-over at times, which I thought was quite good as it sounded very much like someone deep in thought, so there is certainly an element of authenticity present, from what I could tell. The colours appear somewhat muted at times. I liked the incidental music in the background, it added to the tension felt in key scenes. It's also fairly engrossing, I thought. As a foreign set period drama, this is a good film - one I'd recommend.

Staggering how completely obtuse film critics are... See more Sep 22, 2016 This movie rating is the strongest example I've ever seen that Rotten Tomatoes (a site I generally like) can be utterly utterly misleading. This movie is a spy/Neo-Noire gem. Not in any half-arsed way, but a real well put together classic in the same broad genre as the Quiet American (Michael Caine version). I'm a fan of Neo-Noire and spy films and WWII dramas, but that just makes it my genre. I'm still super critical when it comes to movies, and this one rocks. 4% my ass. I laugh at the other reviews here! See more Read all reviews
