Like a communist e-girl, I loved the way it looked and tried to ignore the propaganda.
This true story about a small group of Chinese soldiers defending the last outpost in Shanghai against the Japanese army, all in full view of the war-free zone living large on the other side of the river (!), works extremely well as a grand war epic, despite the cloying lapses into clichés. The images are often breathtaking and not without a genuine stirring of emotion.
