8 If, like its protagonist, the film is brutally forthright, in B-movie tradition, that's because all it cares about is expressivity -- raw impact and momentum.

7 ...plot may be murky, but actress Asia Argento is a clear and commanding force throughout.

6 There's basically only one reason to see Olivier Assayas's self-consciously hypermodern, meta-sleazy, English-French-Chinese-language globo-thriller Boarding Gate, and her name is Asia Argento.

6 Here's the frustrating paradox of Olivier Assayas' Boarding Gate: It's one the most sophisticated, beautifully textured, soulfully acted shitty erotic thrillers ever deserving of a straight-to-video release.

8 This is very much a French intellectual cineaste's idea of a B thriller, and hence is as far from innocent in its genre as you can get.
