The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Go on bing.. type in Asia Argento.. and right there is all the reason most need to know why their watching anything she is in. It is true Boarding Gate is overall not worth the experience (with way too much foreign dialogue not subtitled), but like said.. you're watching for another purpose. Hey, parts you don't like press fast-forward. Now if you haven't already seen it, and I can't believe any true Asia fans haven't.. go search out and watch B.Monkey. It's an almost ten year earlier AA flick (much less wear and tear.. remember she's a very passionate woman) and IMHO it's one of the best films she's done. Compare the supporting casts and scripts.. it's hands-down no contest. Sure she's more than likely not going to take home any statues.. but we'll keep watching none the less. Like the man said.. when she is on screen.. you just don't take your eyes off her!

Asia Argento looks great indeed but, i would not call her a "talented" actress here as more as a feminist pervert(coming to this, another reviewermade me laugh with his views on what talent is... he must have hadclearly became horny after watching the soft BSD porn scenes).Michael Madsen is very much himself here and a character interesting to watch...now the subject manner is somehow quiet similar to ".45" while not taking it to the extremes. starts as a thriller, then it evolves into a feminist rant(regardless if one considers it right or wrong) but, towards the end evolves into something else...likely that is why this feature got quiet a lower rating then i would have expected. i am assuming that the last 1/3 of the movie seems to be a...different movie in itself.regardless there ARE a few original scenes (both soft-porn as much as artistic ones) that do captivate a viewer.obviously, i would recommend this ONLY for mature audiences and depending where anyone's sexual orientation lies.i am also going to venture into guessing that there will be a sequence to this feature as well.

Asia Argento is a sexy beautiful woman who likes to run around naked which isn't a bad thing in it's self, but, when her character talks about all the guys she serviced, and to see her with Michael Madsen and an Asian guy in the present tense of the movie, it made me feel like I needed a condom over my eyes to watch this movie, like a disease was going to rub off on me or something.The movie felt like it was going for a love triangle/drama/action/??? plot, it just seemed to go everywhere and nowhere at the same time. The acting was great, the plot, not so great. The director needs to at least pick a genre and practice, practice, practice, before trying to do something as complicated as this again, because they are not very good at it obviously.

The credit for my enjoyment of this film could possibly be entirely due to the brilliant performance of the leading actress Asia Argento. She gave an honest, artistic and daring performance throughout and should be tremendously applauded. The supporting cast was also well chosen making "Boarding Gate" a well rounded very entertaining film.I found "Boarding Gate" to be a refreshing break from the mundane collection of modern films out there. This story of crazy love and relationships takes you to beautiful places and leaves you thinking. I recommend this film to any movie lover who is looking for a new favorite!
