Snipers

Zhang is best known for his great works with picture and colors but this movie lacks this feature but still I recommend to his fans to watch this movie.

Not only the story is not real, but also not even possible. I didn't understand why Zhang Yimong would go this low and direct such a movie until I saw his daughter's name at the end. Very disappointed. Don't waste your time!

Actually this is new to me to see that the Chinese have started making war movies against the Americans ,although the movie is about the Korean War back in the 50s ,however,it tells us what is going on in China ,specially this movie is 2022 production.

I did not like what is behind the movie ,it seems that it has a very political messages for the fans .

Cannot speak for historical accuracy - I'm not a Historian or a War expert, neither do I have access to Chinese history books, but it was an enjoyable watch. A great story, emotional, with plenty of sentiment and good scenes. A great ending.

Please ignore the hating reviews by Westerners. Always makes me laugh when Westerners hate on ANY anti-Western-American content - like you're all a bunch of fluffy white, innocent "liberating" bunnies. Oh, I'm a westerner myself, that's why I get the right to say this.

Enjoy the film, forget the politics. The war's over. Focus on enjoying a film and leave everything else behind.

Loaded down under the weight of Chinese Patriotic fervour, Snipers, takes aim at its global rivals, the USA.

This is a well made film with high production values, decent acting and polished special effects. The story is a little one dimensional and at times, implausible but still quite watchable. Spurred along, as it is, by unrelenting action.

The story follows a familiar patriotic trajectory, encouraging national pride, sacrifice and military prowess, when faced with an external threat.

In summary, its easy in the West, to poke fun at this kind of politicised film. That is, until you stop to consider the West makes them all the time, too. If you can put aside the rather obvious, political overtones, this remains quite an enjoyable, fast paced watch.

6/10.
