Review of China Moon (1994) by Sarfaraz A — 15 Nov 2013
China Moon film-neo-noir film directed by John Bailey. Starring Ed Harris, Benicio del Toro and Madeleine Stowe.
Madeleine is married to an abusive successful banker. She meets and falls for Ed, who is a detective with Benicio as his young partner. One night she decides to end the vicious games perpetrated by her abusive husband, thus, Ed unwillingly jumps in to cover her crime - but mystery starts to unwind itself and all arrows point back at Ed.
I was recommended by my elder brother to watch this movie - he told me that how back in 1994 the Principal of secondary school, would occasionally rent this film from his friend who ran a video-shop, in Larkano (Sindh - Pakistan). Watching this movie made me groove into its dark plot, sustaining best use of suspense and thrill.
Ed Harris, is stand-out and his acting is marvelous, he picks up the motion of the subject and up till the very end you are unable to figure out productive outcome - that's what I completely appreciate, this movie for.
