Featured review
First Chinese fiction war movie released worldwide that made a itself into the history book of movies
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.
