The Rescue 紧急救援 (2020)

This was supposed to be this year Chinese New Year money maker.

You have a successful Hong Kong director.

You have the IT guy currently in Chinese Cinema (Eddie Peng).

What could go wrong?

Well, namely, Covid-19

So, how does this movie fare?

No bad.

I have to give credit where credit is due, no one makes action sequence like Hollywood, and this is where Hong Kong/China movie industry has yet to catch up.

Having said that, this movie has it's moments.

Production value is there.

Script has... Hollywood tropes and than goes on a tangent, sometimes for the better sometimes...

This movie is Rated R and I thought it is because of the guys butts scene (which is pixelated)

It turns out it is rated R because

So, should one watch this at the cinema.

Is it worth paying for a ticket and risking life to watch this?

If you are 100% sure you local cinema is safe and you can buy the ticket, I would say, go for it

My Two Sen
