In 1937, Japan began their invasion of China by murdering over 300,000 people in the capital of Nanjing. The atrocities committed against women and their daughters are especially barbaric. One of them is Xiaoyun, a peasant girl who fights with the Chinese resistance group. On her way to freedom she must fight against Japanese soldiers, ninjas, a killer geisha, Nazis, and the evil General of the Japanese imperial army.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
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.
It feels like it's the last of its kind, a movie with great ambition and strong enthusiasm and with a story that grab the heart.The plot is about a girl who lost her family during Japanese occupation of China in the 1940s and now she seek revenge. Meanwhile a journalist from USA must escape the Japanese and join the Chinese Resistance to return to American. At the same time the Japanese general must show a German nazi that he has control over China but a mysterious black dress killer is giving him a hard time.Finally a movie that shows alot of ambition, last time I saw that was in titanic from 1997, then the world became obsessed with CGI and celebrities that know one knows why they are celebrities. Resistance gave us a new classic, I loved it a job well done China.
I love this filmTrue Chinese spiritA sad story, with a tragic heroine, who became a member of the resistance, then later become ninja fighter to revenge her people!She challenge ninjas, soldiers, killer geisha, and a tattooed general who is a friend of the Nazis!Sadly, the story is inspired by a true event of Nanking massacre during 1937, but despite the movie is an action entertaining movie, it also keep it focus on the tragedy plot.That's why Xiaoyun is my heroine, she is part of the tragedy, because of this horrible event she lost everything, now to prevent this event to spread she must become fighter. And she does do what she must to protect the innocent even if it means to become a murderer herselfI give full score to this film, I love it...
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.
