Allthough I look at movies from the 1990s and feel that period was the last story telling movies but now in 2010s there is alot of videogame movies with cool special effects but god awful story and and suddenly I find this movie with just so so CGI but awesome story and strong enthusiasm, wow this movie is 2011? Then there is.hope.The Resistance is about a young girl and her fight against the Japanese army in china 1940, at the same time there is an American journalist that escape Japanese prison to write a story of the Chinese Japanese war, the movie also follow the sad part of war and intense ninja fights and a nazi as it is world war II.I like this movie for its story and not much special effects.

when it comes to the case of Chinese anti war movies of the Sino-Japanese invasion normally 9 out of 10 movies goes mostly over the top or obviously made for just be a propaganda movie.But in this case The Resistance is more then that, it's not a war movie or a an anti war movie at all, it's more of an assassin movie or an action/adventure movie with a style of a female heroine movie, one could say Hu Sang who play Xiaoyun is a woman version of Zorro.On the other hand, it can't be compared with Mulan who is a typical war story and that movie is more focus on the war with epic knight tale and how the legends was described.But for what it is, The Resistance is epic as a story of it's own, with beautiful landscape of China, and combined of history drama and ninja adventure.

Let's put it this way: if you paid €1 for this film, you'll feel robbed.After the competent introduction using stock footage, the film begins proper with god-awful CGI blood and it's not a good sign. The "acting" then kicks in and, along with the poor dialogue, cheesy music and cheap setting, this has "low budget trash" written all over it.Now, where I've nothing against low budget films, I do have plenty against bad films, and am I really going to waste another 80-odd minutes of my life on something so thoroughly terrible, or am I going to turn it off 10 minutes in and warn others not to even bother with it?So, not much of a "review" for this, but more of a warning. Hopefully, this helps.

Cool Ninja Movie but in the WWII time-line and beautiful location.The story: During Japan's invasion of China in 1937, a masked avenger systematically murders Japanese soldiers after horrible atrocities are committed against her family. A group of Chinese resistance members are gathering to rescue their leader from a Japanese prison camp.What I love about this ninja film is it mix With WWII settings, and yet it doesn't take away any serious tune, as a matter of fact the history and the situation and the war crime that was committed during the Japanese occupation of China 1937 is shown here too, but instead of playing the part of the regular war Movies, it is played with a Classic ninja Movie style.In other words, this movie should not be judged as a war film but as an action/adventure film.Also I love the Chinese location they shot the film, from Beautiful landscape of the ocean and countryside to the big Palace own by the Japanese General.It's not exactly a war Movie for those who are fans of that kind of genre but should be able to find something worth of history.And for all ninja fans out there should be entertained of the story and the martial art.
