From www.formosathemovie.com - Inspired by actual events, FORMOSA BETRAYED is the story of FBI Agent Jake Kelly's (James Van Der Beek) investigation of the brutal murder of a Taiwanese-American professor on U.S. soil. With the help of his partner Tom Braxton (John Heard) and a sharp Chicago police detective (Leslie Hope), Agent Kelly discovers that the murderers have fled to Taiwan.
Agent Kelly is sent overseas to assist the Taiwanese government's search for the killers. Initially guided by an American diplomat (Wendy Crewson) and a Taiwanese official (Tzi Ma), he soon realizes that not only is he an unwelcome guest in a foreign land, but that something more treacherous is happening beneath the surface.
With the help of Ming (Will Tiao), a Taiwanese activist, Agent Kelly discovers the unsettling truth about the island once called Formosa, leading to dangerous and painful consequences. Agent Kelly finds himself on a collision course with the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and ultimately the highest levels of the Republic of China government in Taiwan, where this FBI agent discovers how a complex web of politics, identity, and power affects the lives and destinies of the citizens in all three countries including his own.

Political Propaganda film. I am from Taiwan and I DONT endorse this movie at all. Its very biased and presents a Pan-Green prespective that has fictional, exaggerated layers. If it presents a balanced view than ok. But it goes too far, too pro-Green.
and @ tat inferno0020 guy
ppl dont know this movie because its a waste of money and time. They waste a decent cast with tarnish Taiwan's face. Its like a neo-Nazi making a movie about how great Hitler is. BIASED AND UNJUSTIFIED.

@Brindenburg
The directors should add more half-naked Asian chicks, ninja fights, or explosion in the films so that more white dudes will want to watch it.
