This movie got tied up in the tax evasion scandal involving Chinese actress Fan Bingbing and so its theatrical release was canceled.
Quick summation: it's bad. Really bad. I did like the idea behind the movie about these Chinese fighter pilots battling Japanese Zeros. And being led by Bruce f**king Willis in a Curtiss P-40. That it doesn't make that memorable or exciting in the slightest (because of horrific CGI for the aerial scenes) is a travesty. They should have put a Korean director at the helm or call up John Woo. Apparently Mel Gibson was a...production designer for this as well? It looks cheap. Oh yeah and Adrien Brody is in this but I kept forgetting what his character even does. I'd love it if someone made a new film about the Flying Tigers; read a book about them last year, it was an excellent read.
Anyways, it's a lame movie that makes Pearl Harbor look like Saving Private Ryan. 2/10.
