peak 90s legal thriller which i really appreciate. hated that they couldn’t keep them platonic though. extra half a star for bai ling’s cardigan in that one scene.

Watched it for Richard Gere of course, confusing as fuck. I hate it when there is Chinese mixed with English at the same time, it's frustrating.
