The Great Wall (2016) - 102 min

The Great Wall is an American film directed by Zhang Yimou.
Starring Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, Willem Dafoe & Andy Lau.
Two mercenaries William and Tovar are looking for a mysterious item known as 'Black Powder'. Unfortunately, they were captured by the army of the Great Wall for trespassing. The weird thing about the Great Wall is that every 60 years, the wall is attacked by some monsters known as Tao Tei.
The opening scenes and fight sequences were the best thing about the movie. The story was not very impressive and the only thing that keeps it alive is the action scenes. Like, Jason Bourne 2016 movie this one also has nothing much to offer Matt Damon in the acting department apart from some stunts. The monsters logic of attacking and the cinematography were really good to see. Overall, Yimou manages to deliver a watchable action fantasy movie.
Verdict: Average
