Operação Mekong

I've watched quite a few Chinese-Hong Kong action films lately, and Operation Mekong is quite fun. That being said however, I'm not a fan of the characters in movies like this. This is because I feel like Chinese action movies like Mekong or Red Sea, in my opinion, don't really develop their characters all too well, but then again that's pretty much the same for a lot of western action cinema as well.

The action in this movie isn't too bad, and I feel like there's just the right amount. The problem I have with Operation Red Sea (Mekong's spiritual successor) is that there's just wayyy too much action, and it hardly calms down even for a second. However, Operation Mekong has enough action to keep you entertained and watching and isn't a two-hour-long firefight like Red Sea.

The acting I felt was pretty good, as I thought that most of the actors in this film had good performances. The story was coherent and easy to follow. The movie definitely does offer quite a few fun action scenes (the mall scene is probably my favorite part of the film). The cinematography and music were, at their best, not bad.

For those who just want a fun action story told from a different country's perspective, I'd recommend watching Operation Mekong.

Initially, the film is a bit confusing, but you soon get to know the characters and once the introduction is done, the film starts making perfect sense. The film features beautiful cinematography and incredible action sequences, with impressive photography during these action scenes.

'Operation Mekong' is filled with intrigue, suspense and action, making it the perfect action thriller. As an added bonus, the film is visually stunning. There are a few disturbing images of kids using drugs, though. The film is fast-paced and there never really is a dull moment.

The film's main antagonist, Naw Khar, is unfortunately an undeveloped, weak character who doesn't really contribute much to the movie. The film's climax would have been so much better had he been a stronger character. Nevertheless, this is an incredibly entertaining film.

(2016) Operation Mekong/ Mei Gong he xing dong (In Mandarin with English subtitles) ACTION

It's supposedly based on fact, but we both know it's nothing more but used as the vehicle for unique action sequences, that centers on China's war of drugs with the capture of a wanted felon responsible with 13 innocent Chinese civilians murdered by drug lords upon crossing the Mekong River. Starring Eddie Peng as undercover narcotics squad Fang Xinwu working with expert Gao Gang (Hanyu Zhang) to capture and properly charge the dangerous drug lords responsible.

Anyone would know by now that much of the story is highly exaggerated, so basically the only reason to watch this is to see the action scenes.

Action scene well done. Full of thrill and tension all the time. You won't get bored since there are different fight scenes with variations. The plot is somehow simple. Well, I would say most action movies are not focused on weaver a complicated plot. The patriot of main characters serves its purpose, yet a bit more depth would be nice.

Some of the reviews are quite judgemental and not based on the movie per se. If we see all movies as somehow a Propaganda then all American movies with heroes in it will fall into the category. Since when does IMDb cares about politics rather than the movie itself? This is kind of disappointing.
