Little Big Soldier 大兵小将


Genre:Action/ Comedy
Language: Mandarin
Director: Ding Sheng
Cast: Jackie Chan (The Spy Next Door), Wang Leehom (Lust, Caution), Steve Yoo
Runtime: 95 Minutes

Plot:

The battalions of warring states Liang and Wei collided in a bloodbath that lasted from dawn until dusk. Only two men were left standing - a foot soldier from Liang and the rival General from Wei. The Soldier survived because he is an expert in playing dead, with a device strapped on his body which protruded like an arrowhead for added realism.

The Soldier captured the wounded General, hoping to use the enemy as his ticket to freedom - by handing the General to the Liang warlord, the Soldier could be honorably discharged and return home to his peaceful life. The young General, though taken captive, was condescending towards the Soldier. The two men were often at loggerheads during the long and winding journey.

Watched the movie on 14 Feb night @ GV Vivo with Sylvia.

ah-deng says: 3 / 5 Nothing fancy about it. Just 2 men - one captive whose life is worth a plot of land and rewards, while the other just wished for a simple life after redeeming his reward. However both men were loyal to their country and family ties. 挺好的。。。
