i think nobody else could have play the role of richard gere so good a himself . richard gere deliver again a great performance a in the flock . my wife like red corner a lot because of the romantic touch and the nice music . but i warn you that there be some slow pace scene keep anyway high the importance of this message to the audience . perhaps the running time be a little bit too long . the story open my eye again very wide and show me how the human right in other country a in china aren not respect . i hope that this situation will change very soon . then i be impressed how many detail be integrate in the scenery to create a real chinese atmosphere . i saw in a french tv magazine a documentation of the making of red corner . in reality it be film in the californian film studio . final vote represent 7 . 5/10 . if you like it i recommend you to see tear of the sun or hotel rwanda .
