Shadow of China

	Shadow of China
	by New Line Home Video Sales Rank: 2175 Price: $9.98

During political upheavals in China, a young radical flees to Hong Kong, where he becomes a successful businessman. *Viewer Reviews* 'Shadow of China' has so much going for it: a multi-layered story involving mainland China and Hong Kong; the protagonist fleeing China and moving up in the world, yet still saddled with a dark past; the imminent take-over from the British....pity it is so amateurishly executed. John Lone and Vivian Wu are attractive leads, but the scripting and direction are poor, to say the least. The clumsy dialogue is played with lines delivered as if chiseled in stone, and there are next to no scenes that really pick up enough to make you forget the school-play-like staging. When a film makes you cringe each time a 'clever' line is spoken, something is very wrong. Some beautiful mood shots of cloud-draped Hong Kong appear from time to time, but that is far from enough to carry this one. This could have been a riveting, even explosive story (given the main character's background), but instead it becomes a casebook example of how not to write and direct a feature film. CH. Back To Top
