Review of 1911 - Revolution (2011) by Dann M — 03 Apr 2012

Jackie Chan presents 1911, a gripping historical drama that explores an interesting chapter in world history. At the turn of the century China stands on the brink of revolution, as nationalist rebels work to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a Republic.

Jackie Chan, Winston Chao, and Lee Bing Bing all give good performances and create compelling characters. However, there are a few problems with the storytelling and with the transitions between the various character stories.

But overall, 1911 is a solid, gritty war drama with a riveting story.
