There are big tears in the fabric of this movie and they are made worse by the propaganda that runs through its seams. The entertainment value of this movie relies entirely on good action scenes (especially the hand-to-hand combat) and cheesy Chinese smiles.
The message: "Hey Africa, Europe and the US (the mercs) are evil, let China solve your problems!"
Can't blame them for trying though, Hollywood has been putting out imperialist crap like this for years. 6 years 7 months ago -

Wu Jing directs himself in Wolf Warrior 2, a popcorn action flick that somehow became 2017's highest-grossing film worldwide and was sold to me as ludicrously patriotic with the U.S. as the villains Hollywood usually makes out of non-Americans. Sadly, it's not ludicrous ENOUGH. I really did want a tit-for-tat, reverse-nations 80s action that was all, like, "that's what it feels like, biatch!", but really, there are only a couple of Americans in this and they're bloodthirsty mercenaries with no nation (led by Frank "Crossbones" Grillo), working with one side of a civil war in generic Africa. China's relationship with this African country is pure propaganda, much like what the U.S. commits to film regularly, but that's it. While there are a couple of fun moments - a tank duel, fighting RPGs with bedsprings - most of the movie is people shooting each other, the most boring type of action for me, civilians mowed down repeatedly in an excess of violence. So when you get a proper action set piece, you're dead tired already. That's quite beyond the Wolf Warrior 1 flashbacks/emotional context, the cliched plot, and the brain dead dialog. 5 years 1 month ago
