I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Story isn't bad, has a few funny parts. The actors are likable, and the action isn't half bad. It's directing isn't on par with any American stuff, but it's not going to chase anyone away either. It has some hilarious Chinese propaganda sprinkled throughout, all and all it's ok.

I kind of liked it at the beginning. But there were some ridiculous scenes, like the CGI wolf fight and there was always that annoying voice over the Chinese must have learned from the Godzilla movies. Whatever happened, someone would comment and give the movie a news report feeling. In the middle of the movie the American mercenaries clash with the Chinese troops and I was expecting an epic cat and mouse game. Then the Chinese commander ordered his troops to "regain their honor" by squashing the enemy before they have time to flee. So, I got sick of the propaganda and I turned it off. It's too bad because this movie had the potential to be a fun action movie.

Leng Feng is a harden super-sniper in the Chinese Army. His unit takes down a drug operation. He disobeys orders to kill the gang-leader. He is reprimanded and is assigned to the special unit Wolf. Meanwhile somewhere southeast Asia, police tries to take down ruthless drug-lord Min Deng, the dead gang-leader's older brother. He coldly has his western mercenaries massacre the police and sends them to avenge his brother.This is a Chinese military action thriller. It's a lot of action. Some of it is solid but it's rarely realism. They are literally fighting a pack of wolves at one point. Compared to Hollywood, the effects are slightly inferior. There is an impressive amount of real military hardware. It's better than most B-action movies but not quite at the theatrical level. Way too often, the soldiers are standing too close to each other. I guess it conveys something visually but it looks cheesy bad. Overall, I give the action a good passing grade.The leading guy is hard which could be interpreted as stiff but that's the character. He takes some comedic turns which are quite jarring. The evil plot is questionable at best. It needs to be better written. It should be a simple revenge plot and not that hard to figure out. The good aspect is that the western mercenaries are formidable foes. There is also a cheesy battle over motivations. All of it adds up to a nice fight against tough villains. There is a fine B-movie here but a few stumbles keep it from being good.

Good action + military movie.There is a lot of improvement to make, but this is a breakthrough for non-US made movie in this category.There are a lot of implications to China and other countries, but this is in most movies made by US.I personally love this movie, despite some political part of it.Generally the movie is very real and CG is up to standard of 2015, which is much better than most movies from China or other countries.When US makes it, it is not a propaganda. When other country makes it, it is.
