    Looks like an upgraded “Operation Red Sea.” Hope Director Lam retained his creative crew from red sea. The action choreo, colouring and music were amazing. Looking forward.

    And next, a mega mega budget about a team of heroic firefighters?

    While didn’t like Eddie Peng in Call of Heroes, Rise of the Legend, or Operation Mekong, I did like him in Unbeatable and want to give the guy a chance.

    Even if it’s Red Sea without the guns, I’m sure I’ll enjoy this.

    “patriotic Chinese war film”

    Patriotic like 95% of the Hollywood war movies by the way (even the “that’s a shitty war but let’s be friends forever and get out of this, like, shit” …or worse, craps like Three kings: yeah, we fucked the press, yes we lied to everybody, OK we killed a few hundred of those civilians Iraki civilians over a few years…but our soldiers saved a few dozens of lives in the movie so that was worth it, right ?). Apollo 13 is a patriotic movie. The postman is a patriote movie. Etc. Top gun, Rambo II and III, Rocky IV,…

    They can’t dub movies AND they can’t read.

    Sorry, I mean a few hundred thousand.
