Rezension von jindann

Movie was loosely based on actual series of Sino-Russian train robberies that happened between China and Moscow in 93, were at Mongol the authorities were uninterested to send officers to maintain a safe passage. The main plot was ok but the whole film was kind of rush and flimsy. The beginning was a bit messy as the description of characters were a bit shallow and undeveloped. Plenty of actions but wasn't very well choreographed, many the scenes feels rushed lacking of enough details, and a bit too neat and new for the environments at that time. The CGI was as well rather unrealistic, the compositing could be a lot better to cover the flaws while giving the picture a better mood. The shooting was mediocre lacking of impact and much of the characters were over acted that makes it unconvincing. Andy is a hardworking actor but playing villains isn't really suitable for him at all, his appearance and acting were just too tender for that type of roles. The makers should refer to the old Hong Kong movies or the previous one made at 95 where the roles and scenes were much more realistic.
