Friday March 23 – Thursday March 29

Featured Film:

Operation Red Sea at the Pacific Place

The coolest thing on Seattle Screens this week is probably Police Beat on Tuesday at the Film Forum, a tie-in with FilmStruck’s Art House America series. But since I haven’t seen either of those before, I’m going with Operation Red Sea, the biggest hit of this past Lunar New Year. It’s one fo the best war films in recent memory, with top-notch action and slightly less Chinese jingoism than last year’s Wolf Warrior 2. I wrote about it a few weeks ago in my survey of Lunar New Year films.
