No!

 

There really is a Great Wall of China!

 

 

And in Hollywood thats all you need to say that its based on a true story.

 

Oh, it's about the Great Wall of China? I thought it was about Trump's wall, not going to see it now.  :|

Maybe his pocket change was getting low.

 

Or maybe he's taking the Michael Caine attitude.  Caine was in a number of Box Office flops in the 80's (ever see "The Island"?), when asked about it he said something like, "I'm an actor, my job is to act.  Doesn't matter whether the  script is good."  I think there may have been something about every part giving him a chance to "hone his craft" too.

Well, it got panned... hard.

 

So, probably best to stay away.

 

Everyone writing think pieces in the US is under the assumption that it's another white savior movie, but I guess it actually paints Western individualism as selfish and inferior to the Chinese sense of community and teamwork.  It is financed by the Chinese government, and as Trump continues his gootch sweat reign of derp you can probably expect a lot more movies like it, as China attempts to swipe cultural hegemony away from the US during this period of instability.
