Jin Gang Chuan

The narration says that the United States invaded China and China fought for self defense and for their people. Sadly, 70 years after the war, Chinese government still not telling its people the truth, i.e., the north Korean invaded the south first, and the south and its allies are actually defending themselves. The reason for China to be involved in the war is not because Chinese people are heroes like depicted in the movie, but the results of political game between Chinese communists and Soviet Union communists. Ordinary people died in vain. They are "the sacrifice" for the politics.

The moving shooting and special effects are actually not bad except the part that the cowboy hat never flew away with open canopy on fighter jet. It's so fake.

I couldn't find any factual basis of the story lines of this movie. Other than the fact that the Chinese flooded across bridges to fight UN troops along with the North Korean instigators which the intro of the movie lied about. I wouldn't waste your time watching this garbage. The cinematography did look nice which is a testament to how far special effects have come. Most of it appears to be CGI.

The human bridge story line seems to be made up and based on a 2016 incident of North Korean soldiers doing something similar for a construction project.

Watched via prime, it's sad that they're pushing this trash on that platform.

Don't waste your time with this one.

If it wasn't made in todays situation, I would surely have given that movie a 7 or 8 of 10. But in todays political situation the whole scenario, the heroism that is told about North Korea in China that days, plus the end of the movie is today unbearable to me. The today's human rights situation tells a close story and at the date the movie plays, Mao Zedong was about to build up the communistic system in China, which also lead to the North-Vietnam war in consequence. America didn't succeed in Vietnam we know. It was a disaster which better wouldn't have happened. But this movie is also the wrong way. It shows that masses of people which are loyal enough to their country are heroes when giving their live for the communism. That's the message of the movie. And it's simply unbearable today. Praise to the director and actors, ... but no, not! I even wouldn't recommend it to Chinese people.

This movie is about China's involvement in the Koran war with an ill-equipped army. The cinematography is excellent as were the majority of the actors. The pacing was a little slow, but this was due to the strategy involved, and not the directing. However, some scenes were used more than once, which was odd. One commentator wrote that this movie is propaganda; well, what does that make Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbor, if not over the top propaganda war movies?

About the only thing accurate is the name of the conflict. Two stars for the production quality.and one more for a decent music score. The actor's performances are rough, military accuracy is deplorable, the dialogue is hot trash. All around, it's just not good. Far better than a high school art project, but not by much.

I love foreign films and seeing events from the other side of the coin, but this movie? It's just really poor.

I've seen far better out of Korea, Ukraine and even other film companies out of China.

Unfortunately, I'd skip this one unless you really just needed some background noise.
