The Blacksheep Affair (1998)

aka: Another Meltdown

I didn't give a damn about anyone in this shite Hollywood-inspired action flick. There's a bad guy who thinks he’s a Japanese Jesus. He goes up against a Chinese cop who got himself reposted to an East European country called Lavernia (huh?) as punishment for doing a good job and saving lives. Yes, and no, I didn't make an error.
A brief reference to the Tiananmen Square massacre is used in an attempt to give the characters a tragic past. It didn't work. Nothing worked. All of the principal cast have much better films on their résumé.
