The film was inspired by the evacuation of nearly 600 Chinese citizens in Yemens port of Aden during Yemen’s civil war in 2015.

The Chinese Navy’s Jiaolong Assault Team is sent on a mission to rescue hostages(人质) that eventually takes them on a quest to stop terrorists     1     possession of nuclear materials.

This film Operation Red Sea sacrifices plot and character development for action, and fortunately it     2    . The film editing, sound editing sound mixing, visual effects, action, original score and production design are just     3    .

Having borrowed ideas from several Hollywood blockbusters, Operation Red Sea is     4     every great, good and decent war movie rolled into one amazing spectacle. It’s hard to think of a more ambitious and versatile action war movie that does it anywhere close to this level.

What’s most amazing about the film is how quickly it can shift gears (排挡，齿轮). It kicks off with a Navy Seals like rescue mission before turning to a Black Hawk Down city under siege (围攻) effort. The next scene     5     into a Tears of the Sun type protect the innocents endeavor then nerve damaging shootouts like American Sniper.

While     7     over the top, Lam doesn’t treat the soldiers as superheroes. Few emerge completely unscratched while others suffer some terrible deaths.

Lam shows the ugliness of warfare without making it too unnecessary. The sight of car bomb and heavy gun attack victims still twitching     8     the desired effect and doesn’t come off like an excuse to show burnt and separated bodies.

The mission was similar in Wolf Warrior 2, but the real inspiration here seems to be Black Hawk Down. Lam’s sense of scale and logistics are outstanding, with scenes     9     across a war-destructed city cross-cut with tense desert showdowns.

Individual stunts are     10    . And despite some obvious effects. The crashes and explosions are far more ferocious than Hollywood offerings.
