Sinister, subliminal message
1 August 2004
This takes the original victim of Communist Chinese brainwashing and makes him instead the victim of an evil multi-national conglomerate. What a Hollywood crock. Look at the painting in the boardroom at the end. I call it "Celebration of Pollution", and it's symbolic of how over the top Demme has taken this movie. Some good performances by actors that have been brainwashed themselves.

No wonder Demme hasn't had a decent film since "Silence of the Lambs". Maybe that was before he succumbed.

For those who think multi-national corporations are the primary source of evil, consider this: Would you rather have corporations controlling businesses with government oversight, or government controlling them with government as its own watchdog.
