Some films attempt to tackle political and judicial themes with a sharp, engaging perspective, but Red Corner falls short of that ambition. What could have been a tense and well-crafted thriller ends up being a flat, forced, and predictable story, where the message outweighs the storytelling. Richard Gere leads the cast, but his performance feels as generic as the plot’s development, moving forward without generating real tension or excitement. The setting and political context could have been used to craft a deeper narrative, but the script oversimplifies its conflicts, turning the film into a shallow statement rather than a compelling drama. The pacing is inconsistent, with tedious stretches that break any attempt at suspense. Its overly moralistic and self-righteous tone weakens its impact, making its critique of the Chinese judicial system feel more superficial than insightful. In the end, Red Corner is a generic and forgettable thriller, failing to either entertain or meaningfully explore its subject matter.
