The film features an intriguing plot and some scenes of humour that are reminiscent and copy of Stephen Chow's style. The actions are martial arts present in the film are decent as well. However, I find the plot to be excessively foolish. It seems as if director Zhang Yimou and his daughter Zhang Mo were on the verge of committing suicide and decided to make this senseless film.
In my opinion, the film a simply a bunch of propaganda that portrays the PLA as good guys and the US forces as evil child kidnappers. It failed to captivate me, despite my anticipation for it to be the best film I had ever seen. The film was emotionally moving and left me feeling infuriated 😡 😡 .
