The Great Wall doesn't simply come out of any garden variety Hollywood studio blockbuster committee or machine. This is a unique case (at least as of this posting in February of 2017): This is not only the most expensive *Chinese* production ever made (in conjunction with Universal and Legendary - *not* connected with their Godzilla or Kong productions, don't get too excited, we address that here), but it's also a film that's generated some controversy over the casting of Matt Damon. Is it worth all the uproar? How about if it actually works as a movie on its own? Well about that...
Jack and Andrew went to the Great Wall... the movie, not the actual wall, or certain walls yet built (you know what we mean). Listen here for this (almost) spoiler-free review (we don't have a spoiler section, but we give this a MILD Spoiler Warning over a couple of story details, which come up after the halfway point).
