These film have more charm and less fake animations.Story: Leng Feng (Wu Jing) is released from his military duty after he has stood up for the family of one of his fallen comrades and Before revisting this film, I would rathet watch some old Chuck Norris movies again. In the end, the movie however fails to be innovative enough to stand out. The movie is comparable to franchises like Rambo and might sit well with a larger audience. In the end, fans of military action movies can give this solid average film a try and will get exactly what they can expect. The film doesn't overstay its welcone with a concise length around ninety minutes which can be considered a strength these days. The lead character who can be described as a resilient non-conformist with a soft core is easy to empathize with and his tough but tender female sidekick is also sympathetic. The action scenes are intense and will keep the audience on the edge of its seat towards the end.
Still, after a weak start, the movie still manages to end up being solid. The movie also includes an unhealthy dose of Chinese propaganda but that often comes along with military action films. The locations are equally bland and mostly limited to some exchangeable fields and forests. The story is also forgettable and unimaginative. The two worst offenders are the bullet fired in slow-motion in the beginning of the movie that had me laughing out loud and the pack of wolves that doesn't even look remotely close to real wolves. The special effects look as if they had been made by a company specialized on video games in the mid-nineties and the movie constantly exposes these flaws. The acting performances are cringe-worthy at times and especially lead actor Wu Jing has stiff body language yet overacts whenever he expresses himself verbally which makes for an unbalanced contrast. It's a mystery to me why Wolf Warrior became one of the most successful cinematic franchises in the People's Republic of China.
