Home Coming (2022)

Seems to be another good movie similar to Wolf Warrior 2

I didn't have great expectations at the beginning, and it turned out to be much better than I expected. The overall story is very similar to the 2017 Wolf Warrior 2, and the picture is very stylized compared with the previous war films, and it also reminds me of the color texture of Korean movies. I like it very much when I watch it as a whole. And really love Wu Jing's cut at the end, it's so funny and cute.
Under this theme, the film has met expectations, and it is a very good commercial film, watching the overall more pleasant, I don't know if you have seen it? Will u have similar feelings?

Good acting, stunning sets but too much action and not enough focus on characters' psychology

"Home Coming" is a Chinese movie that centers around embassy staff aiding their fellow citizens in evacuating from a fictional North African country during a time of war. The movie boasts visually stunning sets that provide a captivating ambiance. The acting performances by the main leads are impressive and bring depth to their respective characters.

However, the plot of the movie does not give the characters enough development (there is some but clearly not enough, we are left wanting more ... instead of brainless action scenes). The focus on action over character development may not satisfy viewers seeking a more psychological and character-driven experience. A greater emphasis on exploring the relationship and psychology of the two main leads would have added greater depth to the plot.

Another issue with the movie is the lack of English subtitles, which may pose challenges for non-Chinese speaking viewers. It is worth noting that I had to rely on Whisper Speech to Text AI engine (with VAD) to obtain the english subtitles, which may not be as accurate as human translation.
