I can't believe I actually finished watching this dog. Poorly acted, lousy dialogue cheap effects, Bruce Willis and Adrian Brody should be ashamed of themselves.
I have always a big excitement about war films. When i was downloading this movie, i expected something big . so i was bit of intoxicated and very thrilled to enjoy it. So i managed some times to watch this garbage. The movie started with interesting topic as well so i expected it very high. But alas! as the time goes , i didn't find any through line , i didn't find any convincing plot to be characterized. Making was so poor and the dramatization also. The only question arisen on my mind after watching that how on earth bruce wills signed for this kind of garbage. I followed him since my childhood. So i am very much confused about this one. So i decided to continue after some certain period.
Script is so poor. They pretend it as based on a true event but history interpreted the others. I am pretty much confused about this one too. SO at the end it turned about a absolute garbage for me. I strongly don't recommend to watch this. This is the poorest movie have i ever seen in the near past. I should have read the review here.
Cinematography was also v=not up to mark. But the only thing i care about in a movie is story. so i found nothing in this movie.
PLEASE DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME.

REVIEW - THE BOMBING (AIR STRIKE)
I love Chinese cinema, because even though the stories may be simple the action is usually none stop and this film set during the second world war is the same, the CGI aerial dog fight scenes are absolutely stunning but.......
A collaboration between Hollywood and Chinese cinema has brought you possibly Bruce Willis's worst film EVER!
Again we see Bruce at his worst and I can only imagine how much he was getting paid for this because in every scene he is in it is memorable for one reason, the reason being you just want to skip him forward to return to the stunning scenery, effects and the CGI dog fights.
Chinese cinema is famous for going big and in this story of 5 people trying to transport a piece of equipment through China whilst having every Japanese plane dropping bombs on and around them is at times quite enjoyable but if you can put up with a terrible script, dubbed actors and of course Bruce then give it a try and just enjoy the scenery, special effects and the dog fights otherwise avoid like you would a bomb being dropped on your head from a great height.
Yes you've guessed it, money equals Bruce Willis in his worst film ever!
I hope he's not this bad in Glass.
Rating 3 out of 10

Screen play. Steerike ooone! Acting. Steerike twooo! CGI. Steerike threeee. OUT! Bruce Willis has gone from Unbreakable to Unwatchable. Adrien Brody should have his Academy Award confiscated. I tried fast-forwarding to the good parts. There weren't any. This film is so bad, it made me nostalgic for Pearl Harbor! The worst part: My girlfriend can't get her dollar back from Redbox.
Instead of watching the movie, spend time reading the reviews... it's way more entertaining! This movie makes a mockery of the historical significance of the events that took place in China. It's insulting to the people who lived it and insulting to our intelligence. An opportunity was surely missed.
Did you know
- TriviaThe original cut of the movie ran over 5 hours.
- GoofsThe Japanese bomber pilot says to open bomb bay doors. Shots of the plane's exterior show bombs attached directly to the fuselage and no bomb bay doors to open. The Japanese bombers have internal bomb bays which needed to be opened and bombs carried externally.
- Alternate versionsThe US release, re-titled "Air Strike", is cut by 25 minutes from the original 121-minute Chinese version. It also dubs all the Chinese language sections of the film. Other releases, such as the UK (under the title "The Bombing"), feature the original version with part-English, part-Chinese dialogue.
