A waste of 90 minutes of my life
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreI watched this film at the Vancouver Asian Film Festival and was not surprised that it was this year's award winning film. My wife and I like films that are based on true events, so as to become more conscientiously aware of the world around us.At the end of this film my heart was deeply moved by the shocking revelation, that such a horrific atrocity of live organ harvesting is systematically underway by the Chinese Communist Party and still happening to this day.Something struck my inner core deeply and I was left with uncontrollable tears of shock, horror and sadness that such things are playing out in real life. Like a surreal horror movie or nightmare come to life... I've since been interested in helping any way I can to help spread the awareness locally here to my community at large of organ harvesting in China. I have been lead to our university and found a group of individuals who are trying to educate students and professors about these present day atrocities and am wanting to continue to support these endeavors in which ever way, shape or form I can. My thoughts and prayers go out to all prisoners of conscious being persecuted by the Chinese government 🙁😔🙁
View MoreI cannot begin to describe how heart wrenching this film is. I was blind to the insanity of the goings on in China and now I am so broken hearted. Please watch this film and spread awareness about this atrocity. The story of a Chinese family torn apart because of their illegal belief and a wealthy technician from the west. This will take you in and inspire you to get on the internet and try to do something about spreading the awareness. As can be evidence by me. This is not something that people who have a stomach will like to see but they need to see it. We cannot keep burying our head in the sand. Its time to do something America.
View MoreThis follows the story of a Canadian techie in China to install improvements to the Great Firewall of China, and a woman that is imprisoned based only on the fact that she is a Falun Gong practitioner. It exposes one of the uglier sides of China under the Communist Party - "transplant tourism" for money. Political prisoners were and still are routinely killed for organ harvesting. The acting and not-quite-mega-budget production values are not the best, but the message is overpowering despite those flaws. Easy to see why China has blocked this movie, and has gone so far as to pressure many movie theaters to not show it.
View MoreI recommend this film, highly. It puts you in the middle of the action in China -- spying, lying, profiteering, violence -- that China doesn't want anyone to know about. Gave me goosebumps to think that the technology and heartless state policy in the film is real. That realism raised the stakes for the action and the plot to incredible heights. Props to a refreshingly intelligent thriller. Probably not a good one for young kids, FYI, but it would be good for a younger generation, say, teenagers, to see it because there'a a good message and it could open their eyes to some crazy stuff going on in the world right now that they'd be better for knowing. Plus, they'd be riveted, just like anyone, by the story.
