It's a mixed of action + artistic movie.

The first hour, which talked about the war, was interesting and realistic. It's like the eastern version of the Saving Private Ryan.

The latter part talked about how Captain Gu fought the way to prove that all his comrades were sacrificed in the war, instead of categorised as "missing" (because the "missing" ones won't get recognition)

Therefore, me and WeiHan agreed that first hour was interesting. But the second hour was sometimes boring (to me, i think the director should have cut off the marriage part)

After all, it's a good Chinese movie. I'd definitely recommend to any Chinese movie lover.

Rating: 7/10
