China Moon (1994)
7/10
slow first half evolves into effective suspense/mystery; Ed Harris is excellent
20 June 2021
This isn't my normal fare but I had three good reasons to watch it: Ed Harris, Ed Harris, and Ed Harris. Just kidding. I really like Benecio Del Toro and Madeleine Stowe, Charles Dance was a great addition too. So the first half of the movie drags a little but I still manage to attach myself to the main character, and feel for him throughout the movie. The suspense developed fast once Act 1 ended and Act 2 was the most enjoyable; I'm not typically the best at guessing mysteries but this one almost eluded me. Some nice little details and a particularly intense scene with Ed Harris made it more entertaining. The end itself, which I won't spoil of course, I feel ambivalent about. Upset, but satisfied too.
