WOLF WARRIORS 2/ MOVIE REVIEW

FILM CHINA: On the Adventure/Action side of the movies, WOLF WARRIORS 2 is pretty damn good. Massive pyrotechnics and special effects as the Chinese Military Special Ops Hero fights to save Chinese innocents working in Africa from death and torture, after the US has gone home...Brilliant cinematography, not a lot of plot...but then, that's what action films are all about, and Wolf warrior 2 is one of the best of all time, anywhere.The equal of any high potency Arnold Shwarzenegger film, except much better actors, & much higher quality directing, and much better english subtitled dialogue, and a lot more expensive to make. The quality, the direction, the filmatic delivery is intoxicating...so this is very much a modern day saga.
At the end of the film is the visual notation...if you are Chinese, if you keep your Chinese passport, and never give it up, you will be okay in this world. You will be safe and protected. The audience here in Melbourne applauded wildly. So did I. It was a very good action film. 7/10. (I still rate Predator 10/10 in that milieu...but Wolf Warrior 2 does actually surprise you... which is different, and doesn't happen in Western films). These young bright bastards know exactly what they are doing. Compared to most films you go to the Cinema to see, anywhere on earth, this one is well worth watching...and even worth paying to see.
