This was an unknown film to me, but I chanced it and found it really enjoyable. Richard Gere shines as a man in China wrongly convicted of a beautiful girl's murder, and finds he has to fight the jury system for his life. Ling Bai is astounding as his court-appointed lawyer who cannot decide whether he is guilty or innocent.
A highly charged political thriller from the late 90s, this deserves a watch, and raised Gere's acting skills sky high in my book.
