Red Corner

Beijing. Autumn. A ringing cell. An American businessman awakens to find a dead woman in his hotel room. Soon, he's caught in the gears of the Chinese legal system, and his only ally is a local lawyer with her own doubts. A late-90s thriller that generates more procedural than suspense.
