Day 218- Eastern Bandits (Chinese)


Eastern Bandits (2012) Poster
 
"The movie is set during the Japanese invasion of China. The story is told from the perspective of Gao - a soldier seeking revenge from the Japanese. He is trying to assassinate the visiting Japanese commander. In the process of plotting such scheme, he had a chance encounter with a local Mafia, lead by its charismatic leader Fang"
 
A very poorly done film that could have been good. The last half is better than the first half and is enjoyable but I couldn't feel for the characters. Even though I enjoyed the selection of characters besides Gao, there's a lack of depth that causes holes in the plot. I wouldn't suggest this film unless you are really into Chinese movies.
 
 
1/5
