While their are strong performances they\u2019re largely lost in the edit and the film\u2019s saving grace is its spectacle. While fascinating to see a film about an intriguing battle of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which is often forgotten in the West, the film looses cohesion, likely due to Chinese government interference, and is slightly marred by latent propaganda which is woven into the story of a battle which predates the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s rise to power.<\/p>\n<p>Running Order:<br \/>TBC<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to follow us on Twitter &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FightingOnFilm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/FightingOnFilm<\/a> and on Facebook &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fightingonfilm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Fightingonfilm<\/a>.
