A drama directed by Roger Spottiswoode.
A British journalist goes into a dangerous area of China during a war and has a terrible time. He meets Chinese people there who send him to an orphanage far away from the fighting where he takes over with the help of a white female doctor who visits occasionally. When the fighting nears the orphanage, they begin a journey to an abandoned monastery in the north.
The whole beginning of the film was useless to me. I hate movies about politics. When the Englishman is at the orphanage, the film gets better because it changes subject matter. It becomes a film about a dude who has to help people in need and I like it more like that. The plot and characters become decent at that point. The style and production value are the same throughout. I'm rating this adequate because it goes from bad and boring to interesting and almost good.
