    Baffling and absurd

    A Chinese action film; A story about a Chinese IT engineer who goes to North Africa to help his company win a telecommunications contract. A French spy tries to thwart their bid and control the mineral resources of the country too. This actioner, highly tinged with Chinese propaganda, is about unfair bidding practices in global telecommunications contracts. It is ineptly directed stuffed full of plot. The acting is hammy and unconvincing and the dialogue is hard to follow. All in all, it falls short both in technical and narrative spheres.

    Waste of time

    Every actor in this movie was at the same level or worse than Mike Tyson... even Segal

    Few credible preformances.

    Story is lame and predictable,

    Woeful

    Continuing my plan to watch every Steven Seagal movie in order, I just watched China Salesman (2017)

    As usual with this type of dtv fare, the cover and trailer make it look like Steven Seagal and Mike Tyson are the leads, and both men are barely in the film.

    This is terrible, and not because of the lack of Seagal and Tyson, no it's because of its woeful (supposed plot) cliche dialogue and is awfully acted!! I didn't even make it to the 40 minute mark.

    • Trivia
      The Mandarin speaking scene where Steven Seagal interrupts a conversation between Dong-xue Li and Li Ai telling them "to speak English" was due to Seagal forgetting his lines. This was inadvertently left in the final cut of the movie.
    • Goofs
      During the fight scene between Mike Tyson and Steven Seagal, in various shots Seagal is replaced by another man who is visibly younger and slimmer than Seagal.
    • Quotes

      Lauder: Hey, why don't you guys speak English?

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, Steven Seagal's name is misspelled as "Steve Segal".
