This sequel to Chinese (2021) continues the 1950-set Korean War story, as the 7th Infantry Company of the People’s Volunteer Army battles US troops for control of a strategic crossing in freezing conditions. Co-directors Tsui Hark, Chen Kaige and Dante Lam ramp up the high-octane spectacle, gory deaths, Chinese-army heroism and terrible English dialogue. Other returnees include Wu Jing and Jackson Yee as sibling fighters, but 150 minutes of shellfire and non-existent characterisation may leave you drained.
