69/100 Wow! This was exciting!! Chinese film loosely based on a rescue mission during the Yemen civil war (in this case, the country is Yewaire) in 2015. But, that really doesn't matter because once things get going, the warfare is non-stop and the little bits of drama it does have do more to get in the way then actually presenting us with a story to get serious about. The action, however, is stylish, sometimes brutally realistic, and intensely exciting including some choice gags that elicited a "Whoa!" out of me a few times. High tech warfare at it's best. Great entertainment. -- DrNostromo.com
