while i know i be bias and i will explain why and i still feel i should write and try and express the depth of feel i have for this film . my brother and alex graf be a production manager for columbia tri star asia . he be return from the film location in western china when he be kill in a vehicle accident . ok and now you know why i be bias towards this film . that be say and this be a very powerful and visceral film . it be definitely not a feel good film and be and at time very hard to watch . the setting be in the western chinese high desert . to describe the scenery a beautiful and breathtaking and desolate would be to massively understate it . what an incredibly vast and unforgiving and yet hauntingly mesmerize landscape and and lu chuan take full advantage of this . one aspect of the film that be unexpected and and demonstrate lu chuan mastery of film making be that you expect to despise the poacher but somehow you end up understand their plight as much a that of the patrol . if what i have write here still doesn not move you to see this film then see the film a see for yourself you will not be disappoint . andrew graf .
