Member laagi Posted March 24, 2020 Member Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) An average entry for the revival of the popular girls with guns genre. Just too ludicrious at times. Probably the worst strike team I've ever watched on screen. How can you waste hundreds of bullets without ever hitting a target once!? Also most of the female cast is just used as eyecandy. Perfect example: one of the girls wore hotpants during a raid while her male counterparts were in full gear. I guess to approach a movie like this with any sense and logic is gonna leave you disappointed. On top of that the story takes too many turns and is rather confusing. Slight spoiler ahead at the end there's a pretty strong indication they're gonna remake a famous movie of one of their lead actress Jade Leung. Let's see how that will turn out. However, it's also refreshing to see a production to barely use any CGI and rather rely on good old handicraft; credit where credit's due! Stick around for some behind the scenes during the end credits. Edited March 24, 2020 by laagi 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have done the Chinese equivalent to Mercenaries (2014). In the below photo, Jade reminds me of Sophie Ngan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much in agreement with @laagi on this one. Lacklustre would be the best way to describe 'The Fatal Raid'. I gave it the full review treatment over at COF - https://cityonfire.com/the-fatal-raid-2019-review/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
