Red Corner – Labyrinth ohne Ausweg (1997)

Red Corner – Labyrinth ohne Ausweg: Directed by Jon Avnet. With Richard Gere, Bai Ling, Bradley Whitford, Byron Mann. An American attorney on business in China is wrongfully arrested and put on trial for murder, with a female defense lawyer from the country the only key to proving his innocence.

“This is a very well written and directed film with good locations and very good acting. The discourse on the Chinese approach to justice and the potential for corruption in their state-centered society is sharp and, from my experience, accurate. It is delivered as part of an entertaining story with very strong performances by the leads. I like Richard Gere in this, as I do Ling Baiu0026#39;s performance. Their chemistry attracts the viewer and helps us through the difficult issues the film addresses. A must see.”
