The locations are equally bland and mostly limited to some exchangeable fields and forests. The story is also forgettable and unimaginative. The two worst offenders are the bullet fired in slow-motion in the beginning of the movie that had me laughing out loud and the pack of wolves that doesn't even look remotely close to real wolves. The special effects look as if they had been made by a company specialized on video games in the mid-nineties and the movie constantly exposes these flaws. The acting performances are cringe-worthy at times and especially lead actor Wu Jing has stiff body language yet overacts whenever he expresses himself verbally which makes for an unbalanced contrast. It's a mystery to me why Wolf Warrior became one of the most successful cinematic franchises in the People's Republic of China.
