Was refreshing change... Continuously watching one sided Hollywood stunts . Was good to see good production valued movie showing the other side . Now lies and truth isn't my issue ( US war movies too are up to it ) . Just was nice to watch a good quality production telling their side of the tale . I would like to watch good production movies of evil CIA operations going on around the world. Bored of watching Good US yarn heh,heh, It's a Free world, let's not be biased on worldly issues. This is just a forgettable movie, why not some good Directors give us real heavy CIA along with US big wigs evil deeds for s Change.
Just a bunch of propagandist bs about how PLA were such a nice guys and US forces were evil murdering child kidnappers. Watching this is a waste of time imho.
Far better movie than American sniper. I am just curious why the imdb rating is so low. Chinese done a good job. Need movies like these from around the world as we are fed up with the propagandist American war movies not based on Reality.
The visual effects, story, actors, action is all top notch. There are some very good productions coming out of China now. They also showed that the American weapons and technology was far superior to the Chinese.
I would have loved if the snipers were shown taking other missions in different landscapes in different environments, but it was also enjoyable the whole action taking place in one area.

In 2022 Spring Festival,it is most favored by Chinese film lovers.
In addition,Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo is the Mo meaning "FINALLY",not the Morning meaning "SILENT" by Google Translation.

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.
