    Excellent Thriller and Intercultural Examination

    Unspoken is a solid thriller that exhibits profound understanding of cinematic craftsmanship and narrative complexity.

    But it transcends the boundaries of typical suspense by exploring the clash of cultures, highlighting the devastating power of stereotypes and prejudices, and offering a masterful analysis of the tensions that lie beneath the surface of intercultural relations.

    The director touches upon social and cultural nuances, including those of race, ethnicity, language, gender, and age. There's even a demonstration the challenges of communication between individuals who use verbal language versus Sign Language, Collectively, all prompting us to question how we can break down communication barriers to foster greater understanding.

    Not a horror film

    I went to a horror movie event at our local cinema, and this was the second film. And i was dissatisfied because this is not horror, its an action thriller with very muted violence and obligatory end credits explaining the aftermath.

    The chinese actors were good, but the material was not great. The portrayal of the Americans is hilarious, maybe even honest, but the same portrayals are also hinder the build-up of any atmosphere. The movie tries hard, very hard, to portray the victim as this angel that died tragically, but it ends up doing too much, all in flashback mode. The only character with any personality is the father, and he acts the way you expect him too, never really surprising you. The fact that he is an experienced officer hunting drug dealers is not useful to the plot, you will forget this detail many times. I wouldn't have seen this film, if it was not in the horror event. Skip it, its a movie the bus driver might put for his passenger during a boring trip.
