Chinese Rambo is back and its still wall to wall action, Peoples Republic style!
Yes there's a pro Chinese government pitch in this flick with lots of rather corny "good living" style moralising, flag waving and old fashioned, cheesy patriotism. But, to be fair, show me a film of this kind from any country you care to name that's any different?
Casting these minor considerations aside on the upside the acting is good, the story enjoyable and the action scenes, top notch. China and Hong Kong have long understood martial arts/action films and Wolf Warrior II follows in that tradition.
What I especially like about this title is it mixes in some really innovative fight scenes I would not have even thought of. Its clever stuff that gets and keeps your attention.
All in all a decent military orientated action flick that's well paced, pure enjoyment. Seven out of ten from me.
