While Matt Damon is the lead, Chinese actress Jing Tian delivers a powerful performance as Commander Lin, and Pedro Pascal provides great comedic relief. Criticisms (Cons) The Great Wall (2016) - IMDb
However, the film was critically panned for its cultural clichés, underdeveloped characters, and predictable plot. It grossed a respectable $334 million worldwide, but over 50% of that came from China, making it a domestic (U.S.) failure. In its original English and Mandarin-dubbed versions, the film quickly faded from global memory. Its survival in the global marketplace, therefore, depended not on its artistic merit but on its potential as a reusable product.
