A Long Shot
6.9
Inspired by a shocking incident at a factory in northeastern China in the mid-90s, this astonishing debut film portrays people struggling amidst rapid changes in the status quo. The production of the gunfight in the latter part is superb. A surprising directorial debut on a large scale.
