The Escape

Peter Yang Kwan stars as an army general at the time of the Chinese revolution. The story is hard to follow and doesn't quite make sense. He is being guarded by the rest of the army for fear he will go to Shanghai as a revolutionary. Yet when the revolutionaries intervene to allow him to escape he doesn't. He even turns in another revolutionary. Chia Ling is a Chinese opera star. The army hires her to watch him but she gets romantically involved. Finally she helps him escape. Overall the action is sparse and certainly not her best. I can only recommend this movie to Chia Ling completists (who else would watch it or even know about it nowadays?) and rate it below average.
