Sensationalized retelling of the Japanese invasion and occupation of China during WW2. The Japanese conducted horrid insane experiment on the populace and raped the women if Nanking.

Despite bad CGI the movie is cool with good ninja action, descent acting, and beautiful visionary filming for example the beach scenes and the ocean hit the small rocks is spot on.

I like this kind movie that try new ideas, mostly World War II movies is about human suffer or battles non stop.

This movie is more adventurous with character drama and is not afraid to be serious with their plot .

If you have been in China then you probably seen many fiction movies and fiction tv series but very few of them get a release abroad on cinema. The Resistance is the biggest exception and rightly so, this little crown jewel was the beginning of the road to the high top for the Chinese industry without Hong Kong or Shanghai.

In 1937 Japanese imperial army invaded China, 1940 Japan has occupied several provinces of China, including Shichen, but in Shichen there is a resistance fighter known as the black dress killer who is hunting the Japanese army and cutting them down one by one. This unease the Japanese general who needs to capture the black dress killer before he sign a bargain with the Nazi.

It's funny that when an epic story telling movie comes out at first they get harsh criticism from critics but later in time the movie grows and becomes classic and known as great movies. Blade Runner is an example of that in the 1980s and The Resistance is an example of that in 2010s. The Resistance is great for what it is. A fiction war movie that combines martial arts and ninjas with world war 2 and action adventure, with serious story telling with interesting characters. I give this movie a 10/10. And epic forgein movie that says welcome to china.

During the Japanese occupation of China in World War II, a mysterious Assassin attacks the Japanese army one by one, this cause attention worldwide.

Finally a heroine that is feminine and yet deadly. I like that idea the killer is a woman and a beautiful one in the right way. Hu Ling Meng did great job for her role.

The movie itself is great even though it's not a war movie. The story takes place in World War II but far from it. Imagine shogun movie in World War II, or Hanzo ninja in 1940s a ninja movie but more serious.

Best of all, no explosions here and there, a little Chinese CGI sometimes but that didn't bauther me.

It feels like it's the last of its kind, a movie with great ambition and strong enthusiasm and with a story that grab the heart.

The plot is about a girl who lost her family during Japanese occupation of China in the 1940s and now she seek revenge. Meanwhile a journalist from USA must escape the Japanese and join the Chinese Resistance to return to American. At the same time the Japanese general must show a German nazi that he has control over China but a mysterious black dress killer is giving him a hard time.

Finally a movie that shows alot of ambition, last time I saw that was in titanic from 1997, then the world became obsessed with CGI and celebrities that know one knows why they are celebrities. Resistance gave us a new classic, I loved it a job well done China.
