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.

Actually this is new to me to see that the Chinese have started making war movies against the Americans ,although the movie is about the Korean War back in the 50s ,however,it tells us what is going on in China ,specially this movie is 2022 production.
I did not like what is behind the movie ,it seems that it has a very political messages for the fans .

So many films about Korean war came out recent years. This film shows a good quality of storytelling and cinematography but inevitably inserted a lot emotional scenes trying to convince every audience. The film told audience how cruel the war was and the difficulties the Chinese soldiers were facing. Although some would say this is a film of propaganda, its story is based on real facts and it was targeted Chinese audience. Also, there is no protagonist in this kind of film, so details of every character's mental description would be lost.
Zhang is best known for his great works with picture and colors but this movie lacks this feature but still I recommend to his fans to watch this movie.
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.
