Welcome to our short review of the Chinese Hong Kong action co-production The Rescue
What’s this movie about?
Gao Qian is the elite of the elite. The leader of the Coast Guard rescue squad who is responsible for the actual rescue proponent of their missions. He has a small and loyal team, full of highly trained and very fit men.
But after their helicopter pilot quits, the new replacement Fang Yuling causes a little bit of ruckus. She is a serious, but pretty, woman with a strong focus on getting the job done right without putting anyone at risk. Kind of in contrast to what Gao Qian does.
Gao Qian is also a single father, and as the movie progresses, elements of drama are added into his exciting yet tragic storyline, culminating in a typical movie happy ending.
