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.

Far better movie than American sniper. I am just curious why the imdb rating is so low. Chinese done a good job. Need movies like these from around the world as we are fed up with the propagandist American war movies not based on Reality.

The visual effects, story, actors, action is all top notch. There are some very good productions coming out of China now. They also showed that the American weapons and technology was far superior to the Chinese.

I would have loved if the snipers were shown taking other missions in different landscapes in different environments, but it was also enjoyable the whole action taking place in one area.

Not only the story is not real, but also not even possible. I didn't understand why Zhang Yimong would go this low and direct such a movie until I saw his daughter's name at the end. Very disappointed. Don't waste your time!

Cannot speak for historical accuracy - I'm not a Historian or a War expert, neither do I have access to Chinese history books, but it was an enjoyable watch. A great story, emotional, with plenty of sentiment and good scenes. A great ending.

Please ignore the hating reviews by Westerners. Always makes me laugh when Westerners hate on ANY anti-Western-American content - like you're all a bunch of fluffy white, innocent "liberating" bunnies. Oh, I'm a westerner myself, that's why I get the right to say this.

Enjoy the film, forget the politics. The war's over. Focus on enjoying a film and leave everything else behind.
