To me, this movie is perfection.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The action takes place in Tunisia where there is hostile bidding for the nations telecommunications. There is also a civil war going on lead by Mike Tyson. The "China Salesman" was a derogatory term used by the competition. The production was a Chinese propaganda film with our Chinese hero being the tech guy who gets shot at, ran over, and blown off a tower. He is cheered by Africans when he flies the Chinese flag. Steven Seagal has a small role. There is an initial fight with Tyson who refuses to drink whiskey or urine. The fight was laugh out loud funny with the slow motion and speed up scenes to conceal the fact the guys can't fight anymore. Tyson does get an ear slap/flip. The film has very hard to watch. They had trouble with action scene and as in all Chinese films, they don't know how to have a proper romance.Guide: F-word. No sex. partial nudity?

I notice this movie has a lot of negative reviews around here, but I'm going to assume it's because this isn't a movie that just puts everything on a platter for the audience to easily consume in little bites. There's incredible depth in character development as well as plot. It took me about 5 attempts to get all the way through the movie because how difficult it was to fully comprehend what the director was trying to portray. You don't normally see this level of craft in action movies, but there was incredible balance and I look forward to future movies by this director. I wanted to give it 9/10, but I did take off one star because I feel like the trailer is a bit misleading.

Yan Jian, a young Chinese IT engineer who volunteers to go to North Africa and help the company he works for to win a competition. The winner can own the right to control the communication between south and north. French spy Michael works for the West. His boss ordered him to go to the North Africa and win the competition, and they can control the great mineral resources of Africa. Describing how awful 'China Salesman' is and is beyond imagination that even after reading the title and see Seagal and Tyson in the Poster you can understand that we're talking about pure garbage fire which it is.

It's really really bad. Turn off the TV in the middle of the movie bad. They got my attention with Tyson vs Seagal match, but they're in such a minor roles. Tyson looked like CGI and Seagal looked like a human wearing mask of Steven Seagal. They had a fight in first half an hour (maybe again later but i could not watch).I loved the idea of boxer vs aikido, but the execution was awful. Don't spend your money on it.
