“Chinese fisherman broke through the torpedo blockade.” Whoa! This final trailer is a must watch! Well Go USA has unveiled a second official US trailer for a Chinese rescue thriller titled Dongji Rescue, set during the early days of WWII in 1942 (view the first trailer here).

Dongji Rescue is co-directed by a Chinese filmmaker named Hu Guan, who also directed the excellent film Black Dog from last year, and tons of other acclaimed films.
