The Feel Good Part
“Overseas Rescue” is a screenplay invention of “one plus one is more than two,” and the entire play is full of the iron and blood. It has all the elements of drama, yet it is far too personal. It contains teary-eyed parts, but the massive amount of emotional suffering across all scenes engrosses you to watch for more and battle for it alongside the fictitious characters.
The Disappointing Factor
The incidents portrayed in “Foreign Rescue” were typical, depicting the actions of genuine diplomats in overseas consular protection who adhered to the principle of “national supremacy, people supremacy.” However, several sections of it were sugar-coated, and the lack of rawness in the story was very obvious, giving the impression that there is a gap in the entire narrative.
In-Depth Analysis
Only events based on true stories can elicit the most empathy from the viewers. The viewer can comprehend this group of people and sense the hard work and dedication of these diplomats via “Overseas Rescue.” Actors Liang Danni and Sun Dachuan learned from genuine diplomats to speak more, do more acting research, and give their all in the performance of “Overseas Rescue.”
Star Power
The ensemble does justice to the characters portrayed here. The empathy can be felt across the two-dimensional screen with the perfect amount.
Overall Opinion
It is worth watching.
