Loaded down under the weight of Chinese Patriotic fervour, Snipers, takes aim at its global rivals, the USA.

This is a well made film with high production values, decent acting and polished special effects. The story is a little one dimensional and at times, implausible but still quite watchable. Spurred along, as it is, by unrelenting action.

The story follows a familiar patriotic trajectory, encouraging national pride, sacrifice and military prowess, when faced with an external threat.

In summary, its easy in the West, to poke fun at this kind of politicised film. That is, until you stop to consider the West makes them all the time, too. If you can put aside the rather obvious, political overtones, this remains quite an enjoyable, fast paced watch.

6/10.

So many films about Korean war came out recent years. This film shows a good quality of storytelling and cinematography but inevitably inserted a lot emotional scenes trying to convince every audience. The film told audience how cruel the war was and the difficulties the Chinese soldiers were facing. Although some would say this is a film of propaganda, its story is based on real facts and it was targeted Chinese audience. Also, there is no protagonist in this kind of film, so details of every character's mental description would be lost.

Was refreshing change... Continuously watching one sided Hollywood stunts . Was good to see good production valued movie showing the other side . Now lies and truth isn't my issue ( US war movies too are up to it ) . Just was nice to watch a good quality production telling their side of the tale . I would like to watch good production movies of evil CIA operations going on around the world. Bored of watching Good US yarn heh,heh, It's a Free world, let's not be biased on worldly issues. This is just a forgettable movie, why not some good Directors give us real heavy CIA along with US big wigs evil deeds for s Change.

Actually this is new to me to see that the Chinese have started making war movies against the Americans ,although the movie is about the Korean War back in the 50s ,however,it tells us what is going on in China ,specially this movie is 2022 production.

I did not like what is behind the movie ,it seems that it has a very political messages for the fans .

In 2022 Spring Festival,it is most favored by Chinese film lovers.

In addition,Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo is the Mo meaning "FINALLY",not the Morning meaning "SILENT" by Google Translation.
