Review of Operation Chromite (2016) by Skeptic303 — 25 Sep 2016

Operation Chromite is a foreign film (thankfully with English subtitles) about Operation Chromite in the back drop of the Korean War. This film touts itself as a patriotic movie in the likes of Olympus has Fallen or other such war or action movies. However, its missing tons of substance.

The characters are one-note heroes or one-note villains, and while certain things that happen in the film are interesting, the people aren't. They don't seem human or complex at all; rather, they appear as card-board cutouts.

I honestly never heard of the operation prior to seeing this film and it is nice to see action filmed correctly as is here, but the film would have been best either with a bigger budget and a better script and characters, or as a documentary rather than a bland, jingoistic action film.
