1. • • This is an unabashedly pro-democracy message movie. Judged strictly as drama, it's pretty routine. Van Der Beek is OK in a role that's not overly demanding. The most notable acting comes from a couple of veterans, Wendy Crewson and John Heard, with the latter's turn as a cynical FBI officer providing a few bright moments.

   Is 'Formosa Betrayed' a docu?

   • "The Sorrow and The Pity" was straight docu. It CAN be done, but "Formosa Betrayed" just throws too much information at the viewer, as if anxious to win our sympathy quickly and completely, and in doing so it alienates us. Or me, anyway. It's 1983. University professor Henry Wen is killed in Chicago.

   An FBI agent in the 1980s is following the clues of a murder of a mid-western university professor in search of the killers. If you didn't know anything about the history of Taiwan alias Formosa, you would still no doubt find this a very riveting, suspenseful, exciting thriller.
