Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The film is partly a tutorial on the tense relations among Taiwan (the island of Formosa), the Chinese mainland and the United States, and partly a clumsy cloak-and-dagger political thriller.
Rotten: A mostly pedestrian political thriller whose basis in true events adds little to the film's excitement or entertainment value.
Rotten: This is an unabashedly pro-democracy message movie. Judged strictly as drama, it's pretty routine.
Rotten: Only viewers wondering if James Van Der Beek has finally outgrown "Dawson's Creek" will be at all satisfied by this dreadful police procedural that contains good history lessons and bad TV-cop-show drama.
