Railroad Tigers (2017)

Wonderful character development!

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I'm a huge fan of the goofy, slapstick comedy Hong Kong movies use to be funny. The first half hour of the movie delivers a lot of funny moments that keep me cracking up. But later into the movie, the whole comedic tone was too much to the point where the vibe wasn't set right, like there needed to be dramatic scenes or any serious moment to strengthen the story.Also, I love that this isn't a usual Jackie Chan movie that presents Jackie Chan punching and kicking like almost all of his movies. Instead, Railroad Tigers is presented as an actual action movie with stunts and shootouts. It's great to take a break from Jackie Chan's fighting scenes once in a while.For those who want endless laughter, go ahead and watch this movie. For those who want the story to be more emphasized, this isn't the movie to watch.

An action/comedy/war/drama film with a heart and actually funny moments, dialogues and acting.. Laughed out loud many times.. Don't know who rated it this low, probably the people who think comedies should have sex to be funny... Extremely entertaining.. Criminally underrated...7.5+/10

In December 1941, The railway from Tianjin to Nanjing in East China became a key military transportation route, heavily guarded by Japanese soldiers. Ma Yuan, a railroad worker and his group of freedom fighters find themselves on the wrong side of the tracks when they decide to ambush a heavily armed military train filled with desperately needed provisions. Unarmed and outnumbered, they must rely on their wits to battle an entire army. Railroad Tigers touches a subject of War and the plot does sound quite interesting unfortunately the final product is an unfunny slapstick comedy/war film starring Jackie Chan with awkward humor, action that is just boring to watch and the actual movie just doesn't know what it wants to be and honestly this might be one of Chan's worst films yet.

First of all, this is just a china propaganda movie. They want to "educate" viewers some battle fought by the communist Eighth Route Army （八路军） on a fictional bridge. The plot is rather empty and no reason was given why that bridge has to be destroyed... (maybe i missed it in the dialog but it should be trivial for the war).Next is how they portray the Japanese soldiers. All of them act without much intellect, and this make the movie one-sided and extremely boring for a action movie.Not much for comedy part, maybe the cowardice of the Japaneses might capture a few laugh....
