Apparently this movie is racist?


I've read a lot of reviews complaining that this movie is racist or whatever, even though throughout the rest of review they're saying how intense it is. To anyone who's seen this movie yet, is this really that "racist," or are those critics just trying to get offended?

I just got done watching this movie and for the love of humanity, it's to the point that a movie cannot be made without folks getting their politically correct pacifier-sucking feelings offended and hurt because they think it's racist or got some, Heaven forbid, RELIGIOUS agenda, or whatever. I seen about a 20 page thread on 'Gods of Egypt' crucifying that movie because it had white Egyptians playing the leading roles...give me a break!

So anyway, enough of my soapbox....NO the movie is not racist. It's in an Asian country, I'm not sure it ever actually says the name of the country, but it borders Vietnam. A civil war breaks out and you have asians killing whites but they are killing asians as well. I don't think I seen a single thing that could be considered racist. Yes, the movie is very intense and suspenseful. There's quite a bit of violence. If I could point out one thing that I'm surprised nobody has gotten their panties in a wad about was the fact there's all kind of violence and death and blood and guts with a couple of cute little girls right in the middle of it throughout the movie. But they act the part well and do a good job. Overall, I give it a thumbs up.

IF anyone is complaining about Racism then it is probably true to life and not contrived
