What we have here is an interesting concept that is turned into a certified snooze festival. An exchange student from China,majoring in Astro Physics, is given the shaft from not just his professor, but the school in general. What results is a downwards spiral for the student, resulting in a deadly confrontation (sound all too familiar already?). Despite crackerjack performances from a top flight cast, this film suffers from a script with enough holes to let entire planets pass through. Meryl Streep & Aidan Quinn are clearly wasted in this lame duck of a political potboiler (even though their performances are worth a look). This little film was released in 2007, but have been getting scattershot distribution. You might consider scoring some no doze to go with that popcorn to get through this.
