Boarding Gate

This is a movie filmed in France – it’s still mostly in English, but it’s filmed in France is all. A guy (Mr. Blonde) is trying to sell his shares in his own company to pay back some debts. Apparently he just springs this on his partner in the business who isn’t thrilled about it. Meanwhile Mr. Blonde’s mistress pops by for a visit and they flirt/fight. The girl was not only his mistress, but a paid whore for the seller’s clients at work. She now works at a boat dockyard where ships bring in containers to go out. Some are filled with drugs and she’s selling them to make money to buy a club in China. The mistress shows up at MR. Blonde’s place and handcuffs him like they’re going to get dirty-style. Then she shoots him. The mistress’ boyfriend helps smuggle her out of the country to China. She gets to China and things aren’t exactly what she thought they would be. There’s lots of running and shooting and such, but not really in an action packed sort of way. There’s probably a reason this movie didn’t make the “big time”. (I also have no idea why this movie is titled "Boarding Gate"...)
