Ambush
Plot
As the sun dips below the horizon, a small US Army outpost on the outskirts of a war-torn town is suddenly ambushed by an enemy force. The initial attack catches the soldiers off guard, leaving them scrambling to regroup and mount a defense. As the situation spirals out of control, the squad's leader, Captain Lewis (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), makes the bold decision to take the battle below ground. The soldiers delve into the nearby tunnels and sewers, using their combat training to adapt to the unconventional warfare. As they navigate the labyrinthine passageways, they discover that the enemy has also taken up residence beneath the city's surface, employing a new type of guerrilla warfare that emphasizes stealth, surprise, and brutal efficiency. Captain Lewis and his team must use all their skills and ingenuity to outmaneuver their foes in this high-stakes mission. They face numerous challenges as they navigate the cramped and claustrophobic tunnels, from avoiding deadly traps set by the enemy to fending off swarms of ruthless insurgents. As tensions escalate, the squad begins to realize that they are not alone in their underground struggle. A group of local civilians, forced to take shelter in the tunnels themselves, becomes embroiled in the battle. The soldiers must now balance their military objectives with the need to protect these innocent bystanders from the crossfire. With the stakes higher than ever, Captain Lewis and his team must confront their own mortality as they face off against an enemy that seems omnipresent and unyielding. As the tunnel war rages on, the squad's leader must draw upon every last shred of leadership, cunning, and combat prowess to ensure their survival and emerge victorious in this brutal and relentless battle.

Back in the day, Zhang Jiayi was known as Zhang Xiaotong.

The absurdity of this film lies in the juxtaposition of Feng Gong and Teng Rujun's dedicated performances and the prevailing culture. The insignificant characters in the movie are full of tenacious spirit. Unfortunately, these two roles, brimming with human charm, meet contrasting fates – one succumbs to illness, the other is forgotten. This is where the sense of absurdity arises. Feng Gong plays a character named "Ye Minzhu" (叶民主), and then, ironically, "democracy" (民主) is forgotten, hahaha.

I often come across these old-school types, not particularly bright, but they've got muscle.

A solitary water tower, a lone cinema, a single telephone – throughout history, heroes are often isolated. It is through solitude that masters emerge.

This is exactly the kind of absurdity I was looking for. A forgotten outpost, grand pronouncements delivered over the phone by a deaf man. Feng Gong is a great actor, and Jiang Shan is truly beautiful.
