China Salesman

A tell-all chronicle about how this movie came into existence might be more compelling than the film itself, and require angry denials from authorities in response.

Hammy and painfully incompetent: yup, this is a film co-starring Steven Seagal.

If you can't tolerate stinky cheese, leave this one on the shelf.

China Salesman has got to be one of the most baffling, expensive pats on the back China has ever given itself.

It's never boring and there is always some bats--- crazy stuff going on every second.

A wildly inept attempt to make an action film about unfair bidding practices in global telecommunications contracts.

The single worst thing about China Salesman is how it doesn't even bother to hide its propagandistic intentions.

In short, China Salesman is a piece of s---; a massive, steaming turd that probably shouldn't exist, but does.

More interesting for what its production and creation says about the movie business today, than for anything that happens on screen

We can revel in China Salesman without shame, if we desire to be entertained. The term "guilty pleasure" reserves a none-too-secret snobbery.
