“China Salesman” (** out of four) was a speedy but stupid Redbox action thriller about a Chinese IT engineer (Dong-xue Li) who volunteers to go to North Africa to help his communications company win a competition but becomes swept up in a violent control battle involving a mercenary (Steven Seagal) and a former general (Mike Tyson) which leads to all-out war. Probably the only chance you’ll ever have to see Seagal and Tyson in the same movie and in multiple fistfights but Seagal sleepwalks through the movie as usual and Tyson is a terrible actor. Packed with explosive action and hand-to-hand combat but sorely lacking in any plot coherence.
