A Woman, A Gun and A Noodle Shop

2009, Rated: PG, 95min

The owner of a Chinese noodle shop’s scheme to murder his adulterous wife and her lover goes awry. It’s an imaginative remake of the Coen brothers’ film "Blood Simple". I mean, how often does that happen? A Chinese remake of a "modern" American film, then subsequently translated with English subtitles. Check it out!
