If there was a story here, it got shredded and pieced together randomly.
The camera shots are decent, but not sure if it was the crappy screenplay, terrible editing, or the director got bored mid-scene, as some scenes were out of nowhere and/or just ended abruptly or dragged on. A Chinese 5th grader could have written a better screenplay.
And that lame and loud continuous 1980's background music was so annoying and out of place. Credit does go to some great photography, sfx and visuals for the fighting scenes but that's about it.
I'm sure B-Willz and A-Brodz where shaking their heads when they saw the final cut, but I'm sure they got paid well just to be headlined in this film.
Maybe the 25 producers (including Mel Gobson??) should have spent more money in the production instead of paying for the ridiculous amount of fake reviews.
At best, this film is a 4/10 - only for the visuals, but I knocked off 2 points for the fake reviews... I can't stand it when producers do that. So 2/10 from me

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.
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.
I wonder what bruce Willis was paid for this poorly directed, badly acted and jarringly edited film. From B grade animations, to woefully boring dialogue, The Strike is moore like The Miss, real bomb of a movie....three stars
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.

- 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.
