Kiss of the Dragon

• Action

A disciplined Chinese agent arrives in Paris expecting a straightforward extradition, only to find himself spectacularly betrayed and framed for murder within the opulent, yet morally compromised, world of international drug trafficking. Forced to operate outside the law, he forges an uneasy alliance with a quick-witted American sex worker, navigating a labyrinthine conspiracy that implicates both sides of the Atlantic and exposes deep rot within the French police force. Unlike typical action thrillers, this film blends blistering martial arts sequences with a compelling exploration of cultural misunderstanding and the precarious nature of trust, punctuated by a melancholic undercurrent reflecting the protagonist’s isolation and desperation for justice. The narrative meticulously crafts a tense atmosphere of paranoia, culminating in a desperate rooftop showdown that emphasizes intellect and resourceful combat over brute force.
