Although Jing Wu is an accomplished actor, this is only his second film in the director's chair (first being Wolf Warrior). It is hard to believe an actor with so little directorial experience could make a film of this caliber. This is hands down my favorite Chinese film and also one of my all-time favorite action films. It is captivating just as it is visually stunning. From the impressive opening scene to the fantastic climax, the action and suspense grabs a hold of you and doesn't let go. The film was simply spectacular and an absolute viewing pleasure. The action sequences are incredible and fast-paced. The film features awesome music, too, and the clever use of 'Amazing Grace' gave me gooseflesh!

As an african watching this film, with many chinese friends and close associates, this was possibly one of the most cringey experiences i have had. Leave the constant referral to the natives as simply africans , as if they do not possess a nationality, leave the almost insulting pro-chinese propaganda( and yes, i hate pro-american propaganda films too, before anyone starts about that) , this would be overlookable if the film actually had good camera work and story.
BUT NO. The camera work and story all look like something out of a cheap youtube sketch. The only thing keeping this thing afloat are the set pieces, which, due to the terrible camera work and almost laughable story, stop them from having any real weight. If this film was from anywhere else it would be rated lower than 5 for most people.
Should you watch this , if you are looking for a good Chinese/ Asian action movie? No. There are literally tonnes of better ,do your self a favor and start off with something like "Infernal Affairs" and "Let the bullets fly" or if its not action, anything by Jia Zhangke who is a master of filmmaking in my opinion, and also ChineseDont watch this

Netflix in Australia must be clamouring for an audience with this garbage, would never have watched it otherwise. Bad CGI, bad acting and Frank Grillo is top billing even though he's only slightly in it and even then he just seems like he's there for a paycheck. (The crap an actor will do for $$$$)
As well as China having huge pride in ridding the world of its endangered animals, it's human rights violations including illegal organ harvesting and its ability to convince the world they are peaceful I say no, stick your cheap movie where it belongs.

As a Chinese, I think it isn't a good movie, not a normal movie.
I love Chinese movies, most of them are not recognized by people, but this one
is just a government propaganda.
I found there are many reviewers gave 10 score here, they registered their account when the movie released, and it is their unique movie reviewed.
We Chinese are not weak, we don't need this method to approve our strong.
