      Elizabeth Kerr Hollywood Reporter A blustery, noisy, polished, jingoistic hot mess based on the real life PLA evacuation of 500 Chinese nationals from Yemen in 2015. Oct 5, 2018 Full Review Maggie Lee Variety Neither the story nor characters have any moral ambiguity or psychological shadings. Mar 3, 2018 Full Review Jamie Healy Radio Times Ultimately this is all about the action, and that's something Operation Red Sea delivers in spades. Rated: 3/5 May 9, 2024 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse "Operation Red Sea" offers everything a fan of action blockbusters would ever with from the genre, and that is where the true value for one of the greatest entries in the category lies. Oct 27, 2019 Full Review Alex Lines Film Inquiry Despite only being 3 months into 2018, I'm not afraid to call Operation Red Sea one of the best action films of the year. Jul 16, 2018 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks A cataclysmic cross between the gung-ho jingoist action blowouts of Michael Bay and the heroic bloodshed melodramas of Hong Kong, the film's more-is-more aesthetic resulted in one of the most thrilling and punishing spectacles in recent world cinema.

      Motley Q Opening sequence was quite good. But too many slo-mo in the movie. Action sequences weren't creative at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Kevin M Very patriotic Chinese movie, trying to show the power of the country in abroad. The plot of the movie is satisfying enough tho. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Random Horrible graphics and BS actions scenes.. Rambo is more believable than this.. which is saying a lot considering this is like supposed to be based on real life events. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Liam D It's not as good as Dante Lam (Unbeatable, The Viral Factor) previous Operation Mekong but it's still an entertaining Patriotic War movie that does better flag waving than Michael Bay's shallow filmography Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/22 Full Review Audience Member Pure Chinese propaganda made for western consumption. Look at how great our military is, look at how we wonderfully treat our citizens, look at how we protect the world from terrorists. Yes, it is a great action movie with high quality sequences, explosions and combat. But, remember who runs the Chinese film industry. The not-so-subtle messages are clearly warnings to others to not mess with the Great Dragon. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review dave j Based on actual incidents but upon watching it, it's nothing more but a plot device for the action set pieces which centers on the heroics of eight Chinese elites instructed to retrieve a necklace as well as bomb making material. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
