Leng Feng (acted by Jing Wu), a former soldier being discharged from the Chinese Army for his fierce action - having killed a real estate company boss in town, was wandering for his life in Africa, serving as a mercenary providing security to passengers abroad. No matter how badly off Feng was, someone was still in his mind: Long Xiaoyun, Feng's fiancee, who had been kidnapped and lost contact with him for three years. Feng was wearing a bullet as a clue to represent her. One night in a pub, Feng and his local friends were attacked by some rebel forces who aimed to overthrow the African government. The Rebels and mercenaries troops arrived. Bullets, fire and bombs were hitting the place with blood everywhere. The Chinese nationals were in great danger. The Chinese fleet arrived to evacuate the Chinese nationals, but later Feng learned that some Chinese workers were still stuck in a factory whereas a doctor, who knew the deadly virus Lamanla, was stuck in a hospital. Feng headed to save the doctor but he was shot almost dead. With his last few dying breaths, Dr Chen told Feng to take care of Pasha, his African daughter. Feng strove to save the Chinese workers but he caught the deadly virus accidentally. Soon when Feng, Pasha and an American doctor Rachel Smith (acted by Celina Jade) arrived at the factory, they encountered a hard battle with Big Daddy (acted by Frank Grillo), head of European mercenaries, starting their blood shedding slaughter plan. The war never ended until the moment when the Chinese Army learned the casualties in Africa, so they fired missiles and sent out tanks to help. Feng finally killed Big Daddy in the hard battle to end the civil war. Feng succeeded and he sent all the crew members back to China. He was allowed by his commander of the Chinese Army to return to his military squadron. China's deadliest special forces operative settles into a quiet life on the sea. When sadistic mercenaries begin targeting nearby civilians, he must leave his newfound peace behind and return to his duties as a soldier and protector. "Wolf Warrior 2" (aka "Zhan lang II") was definitely an action movie with a capital A.<br/><br/>But that was also the entire extend of what the movie could manage. The storyline was incredibly flaccid and stereotypical if there ever was one in the action genre. And it didn't really help the movie one bit that the characters were every bit as pointless as the storyline and plot. That just made you have no care about the characters in the movie.<br/><br/>My rating of five out of ten stars is based solely on the action and fighting in the movie, as there was absolutely nothing else to have here.<br/><br/>This is not one of the most impressive or memorable action movies to come from the Asian cinema, and I can't really claim that having seen most of this movie has inspired me to go to watch the first movie. I gave up about an hour into the ordeal that is "Wolf Warrior 2". I just gave up from utter boredom, and I have no intention of returning to watch the rest of it.<br/><br/>Actions movies should at least have something to keep the audience in aside from only action sequences… This is a pretty awesome film. When I first saw the trailer, I must say I wasn't impressed.<br/><br/>But my friend dragged me along to see this and I was pleasantly surprised by the characters' depths, interesting plot, and immersive action.<br/><br/>If you haven't seen it yet, I'd definitely recommend picking this one up. While Wolf Warrior 2 is blandly generic more often than not, there’s something bracing about its patriotic fervor, which asserts that the Chinese will act in the best interests of the world’s downtrodden, while the rest of the world just exploits them.
