During the second battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the 9th Corps Command issues an order for the 7th Infantry Company to attack the Sumun Bridge. The 7th Company suffers a tough march to the Sumun Bridge. The soldiers are near their limits, every step forward in the midst of the harsh weather only means another great challenge to the body and mind... When they inch close to the Sumun Bridge, the 7th Company perseveres with sheer and steel-like will power. They bomb and destroy every attempt the US Army makes to repair the Bridge. Three grueling clashes--and the 7th Company finally manage to block the US Army's retreat to Xingnan Port.

Water Gate Bridge is ambitious and gung-ho, but everything about this film is constrained by a certain type of officially sanctioned earnestness.

Rated: 2/5

The relentless slaughter of decadent American insurgents by courageous and patriotic Chinese heroes continues on apace in The Battle at Lake Changjin II, the hastily released sequel to 2021’s record-breaking epic.

Rated: 2/5

The Battle at Lake Changjin II should have the more accurate title of The Battle at Lake Changjin: The Deleted Scenes. That's because this cash-grab war movie isn't a true sequel but just a series of scenes that could've been in the first movie.

Absolutely epic! Best war movie I've seen since Saving Private Ryan, and so refreshing to see the Americans portrayed as the aggressors, which is historically accurate.
