After the war gem The Eight Hundred, I was really looking forward to Sacrifice, as Hu Guan has shown unprecedented talent and I wonder where this guy had been hiding all this time. Unfortunately, however, there were three other directors involved in Sacrifice and there is a decline in quality. The biggest problem seems to lie in the fact that they took on a not very interesting historical event, defense of a bridge against American bombing. More or less the entire two hours are only about how a group of soldiers tries to pass through the bridge and repair it before the bombers. There is no ground action here, which disappointed me the most, I enjoy planes in war the least, so in this respect, the film is disappointing. Additionally, I was disappointed that the film is told from three different perspectives, so many scenes are repeated and I don't like that either. Sacrifice is decently shot and there are maybe two or three good gore shots and the artillery shooting is also something, but I would have been much happier if they had focused on this for a maximum of half an hour and then moved on to the final battle in Kumsong. Story***, Action***, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere***, Tension***. 6/10.
