Wolf Warrior (2015)

It is a performances centric movie

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

A Chinese special force soldier with extraordinary marksmanship is confronted by a group of deadly foreign mercenaries who are hired to assassinate him by a vicious drug lord. Wolf Warrior or also known as 'Zhan Lang' is silly and quite dumb to say the least. Scott Adkins was barely in this movie as well i mean he didn't do much to be honest and as good as it might was to see Nan Yu in another role besides 'The Expendables 2'? She didn't do that much either i mean this movie was badly handled and badly executed and just a waste of time. (0/10)

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'm all for movies with gunfights and wouldn't be disappointed in an old Clint Eastwood for example to have him just shoot it out and not get involved in some good old martial arts. When you've got actors like Jing Wu and Scott Adkins however I'm watching the movie because I know these guys can bring epic fight scenes if they want. Sure they did a bit of hand to hand but it was almost a drop in the ocean relative to the whole movie. I also know that its a military movie but when has that stopped a good martial arts movie from being made just by throwing in some reason why they need to fight unarmed. Perhaps I'm being harsh I just feel that the martial arts potential of both actors was wasted considering how athletic they are. I wanted to see "Boyka" vs the "Legendary Assassin" not a generic blink and its over a few stars above a Bruce Willis fight.

Awful in a good way. Spoiler the main character gets shot in the heart (they never say heart, but the hole is next to his nipple towards the center of his body) Heart? With a 30.06 caliber rifle. Does not even faze him, nor do grenades, mines, knives anything really. This guy is a machine. This film is supposed to show off all Chinas great military hardware. But when everything they use was originally from, the U.S. or Great Britain or S. Africa, it winds up being a big 'up yours world we steal it all.' kind of feel. No military hardware in this film is not a copy. The acting bad, effects o.k.. The dubbing is so bad it is GREAT. The attitude for loss of life and a persons value in China is clear when, the lead asks the love interest if she has a boyfriend and everyone laughs in the C3 room, As dozens of Chinese soldiers are dying. Also women are treated as decoration. All in all, if you want to laugh see some cool stunts and see whites as villains this is for you. If you want a serious military action drama, skip it. If you want see three guys fight off about fifty cg wolves watch. This movie sucked in the good way.
