Review of China Girl

China Girl (1987)
4/10
Interesting, But So Predictable
20 September 2022
A film that had potential, but with a predictable ending that turns the film into a predictable cliché.

In the end, this just turns out to be a bad copy of Shakespeare's work, only set in the eighties.

The cast is solid, and the plot is interesting. The actors did a good job and the film was well directed. Too bad the script isn't as good.

We follow the love story of two young people who have nothing going in their favour. They are from different communities and of different origins, but their biggest obstacle is rival criminal clans.

The film is not bad overall, but the ending significantly lowers the impression. Eighties atmosphere, good music and an interesting plot, but unfortunately the ending should have been different.

A solid cast, good direction and a flawed script.
