Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Although shot entirely in the black hole of the backlot, this is a seasoned programmer with hard-living pilot Ladd, a mainstay of the Calcutta-Chungking air route, braving the bazaars of the Indian city in search of his best pal's killer. Evidence points to the Chalgani Club and Ms Russell.
