Air Strike (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Dennis Harvey Variety Air Strike retains elements of evident expanse and expense. Yet the final result is such a compromised jumble it's hard to tell what its full original intentions might have been. Oct 27, 2018 Full Review Air Strike (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Anthony Kao Cinema Escapist Meet the 'Sharknado' of Chinese war movies: with US$65M worth of misery... and Bruce Willis. Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Air Strike (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Amanda Adame Cine Premiere How far from us are those times when Bruce Willis used to be in great action films. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 1.5/5 May 6, 2019 Full Review Air Strike (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Reza Noorani The Times of India With a shoddy edit and a poor storyline, the only reason to watch the film is for its elaborate fight action sequences. Besides that, there's nothing more to look forward to in this uninspiring World War II drama. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Air Strike (2018) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Devesh Sharma Filmfare There is no consistency in both theme and treatment. It feels like the director wanted to put every patriotic movie trope that he could think of in one film and exploit them all. The result is a mishmash...

John B It was ok overall with this storyline where Bruce Willis teams up as an American soldier to help the Chinese citizens battling the Japanese during WWII, but we don't really get to know any of the characters to care. Some good dog fight battles with the air force team, but some of it seemed over dramatized and almost laughable. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible in every imaginable way. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Special effects are mediocre at best. The plot is an interesting take on possible events that were unlikely in WWII. The scriptwriting was a bit amateur. Overall, the movie is well below Bruce Willis. All that said, if you like anime, you will probably like this movie. It very much seems like a live-action version of an anime. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I had high hopes for this movie since I really like Bruce Willis and world war 2 movies. But this was bad. From the completely fake looking planes and explosions (unless that was the goal) to the crazy unrealistic "physics" of moving objects etc. The last action scene with the plane landing on the truck had me in stitches; sooo unrealistic and stupid. Can't believe Bruce Willis would be in a movie of this caliber. And Adrian Brody? He had like 5 lines yet he's listed as having a major role? It was more like a 2 minute cameo. Geeeez Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I am in my 60s and have been a student of cinema forever. Sometimes I watch bad movies with the morbid fascination of watching a car accident. This one qualifies: it is overly melodramatic, has bad dubbing (non-English speakers uttering unatural phrases; like Foreign B movies of the 60s), overacting, long scenes that add no obvious value. It seems like every other scene is designed to get a big 'awwww' from the audience. It just made me feel cynical and sarcastic. As though someone went to Spielberg school and came away with only the most saccharin, schmaltzy elements. I don't mind in the least that Bruce Willis got paid enough to do this. Every actor, especially after a long successful career can make a number of bad flicks and it doesn't destroy their career. I would have given it 0 stars, but didn't want anyone to think I had merely forgotten to rate it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie plot was so confusing. Would not recommend.
