Formosa Betrayed Blu Ray Review!

 

Inspired by two actual events, one surrounding the death of Professor Chen Wen in 1981, and the other the 1984 assassination of journalist Henry LIU in California by Chen Chi-li and his fellow Bamboo Union members, Formosa Betrayed is the story of FBI Agent Jake Kelly's investigation of the murder of Henry Wen, a Taiwanese professor in Chicago. With the help of partner Tom Braxton and a sharp Chicago detective, Agent Kelly discovers that the murderers have fled to Taipei, capital of the Republic of China.

Agent Kelly is sent overseas to assist the Taiwan government's search for the killers. Initially guided by an American diplomat, he soon realizes that not only is he an unwelcome guest in a foreign land but that something more treacherous is happening beneath the surface.



With the help of Ming , a Taiwanese activist, Agent Kelly discovers the unsettling truth about the island, once described as "Ilha Formosa" ("beautiful island") by Portuguese sailors, leading to dangerous and painful consequences. Agent Kelly finds himself on a collision course with the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and ultimately the highest levels of the Kuomintang, where he discovers how a complex web of politics, identity, and power affects the lives and destinies of all the citizens.

Very good movie filled with drama and is very intense. I highly recommend giving this a watch and you can currently purchase it on Amazon for $38.
