A relentlessly paced action-comedy unfolds across the treacherous “Highway of Death” connecting Baghdad to Kuwait, following two seasoned special forces operatives – one a stoic American, the other a pragmatic Chinese veteran – tasked with the perilous evacuation of civilian oil workers. Beyond the expected explosions and expertly choreographed fight sequences, the film distinguishes itself through its unexpectedly grounded portrayal of cross-cultural teamwork and a surprisingly lighthearted tone amidst a war-torn backdrop. The dynamic isn’t a typical buddy-cop formula but a gradual, earned respect built through shared danger and pragmatic problem-solving, fueled by Chan’s signature blend of martial arts and slapstick alongside Cena’s imposing physicality. This creates a uniquely accessible and surprisingly joyful energy within the context of a high-stakes military operation, offering a diverting and surprisingly upbeat cinematic experience.
