| MediasharxClint MorrisA welcome return to the classy thrillers of yesteryear |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyEd Harris as the fall guy is good and the visuals of this film noir are impressive nut the narrative is severely flawed. |
| User ReviewScott CIt is not surprising that average audience used to Hollywood type happy ending films did not find this film appealing. If you are, however, looking for a drama where all characters are human (in good deeds and in faults) with a really unexpected ending, this film might just be right for you. |
| User ReviewRed LChina Moon is an enjoyable and underrated thriller that fancies itself as being a Double Indemnity for a new generation (Though not nearly as good). While it is predictable, I found it to be pretty engaging thanks to the solid performances from the cast members. It also has its fair share of shameless sex scenes and nudity to make for a sexy thriller. I had a lot of fun watching this film and it should serve as a fun guilty pleasure for those who enjoy cheesy thrillers. |
| User ReviewFred WVery good murder/mystery interspersed with corny dialogue from the WE network. |
| User ReviewSarfaraz AChina Moon film-neo-noir film directed by John Bailey. Starring Ed Harris, Benicio del Toro and Madeleine Stowe. Madeleine is married to an abusive successful banker. She meets and falls for Ed, who is a detective with Benicio as his young partner. One night she decides to end the vicious games perpetrated by her abusive husband, thus, Ed unwillingly jumps in to cover her crime - but mystery starts to unwind itself and all arrows point back at Ed. I was recommended by my elder brother to watch this movie - he told me that how back in 1994 the Principal of secondary school, would occasionally rent this film from his friend who ran a video-shop, in Larkano (Sindh - Pakistan). Watching this movie made me groove into its dark plot, sustaining best use of suspense and thrill. Ed Harris, is stand-out and his acting is marvelous, he picks up the motion of the subject and up till the very end you are unable to figure out productive outcome - that's what I completely appreciate, this movie for. |
| User ReviewTobias MGreat 90's Noir, Ed Harris is brilliant as is Del Toro, in this vey well crafted film. |
| User ReviewKen KDon't remember a lot about this movie I just know that it was decent but I haven't really seen Ed Harris do a decent job in a movie since History of Violence but I love Benicio del Toro lots. |
| User ReviewDavid SA film noir in the classic tradition. The film has a moody atmosphere and a plot rife with noir motifs (hard boiled dialog, femme fatales, double and triple crosses, and so on). However, the film isn't very original as it relies a little to hevily on noir conventions, thus making it fairly predicable (despite having several interesting plot twists). On the other hand, I believe the film is operating more as an homage to noir films rather than trying to be an entry within the noir canon. Overall, a tight and focused thriller... it trims all the fat and only seeks to provide a lean thriller... And as a result it doesn't try anything more than to be just that. Good but nothing noteworthy. |
| User ReviewJohn WIn which Madeline Stowe lays waste to an unsuspecting Ed Harris. The film is plagued by trite dialogue and ham-handed direction. But there is a real spark between Harris and Stowe that sustains interest. |
