Wrath Of Silence (Bao lie wu sheng) (NR)

synopsis

Searching for his missing son in the rough mountains of Northern China, a fiercely stubborn mute miner (martial arts star Song Yang, Final Master) confronts a world of corruption led by a villainous coal tycoon (Jiang Wu, A Touch of Sin). Caught in between, a blackmailed lawyer whose daughter was abducted, becomes an unwilling partner in their mutual search as the tension thickens. This gripping contemporary mystery thriller is part spaghetti western, part film noir, drawing in the background a fatalistic illustration of the Chinese rural underclass and its fight against oppressive social forces.
