      It's actually an anti-Japanese drama

      The completion of the work is acceptable, the director's ability to control is average, the big star scene, the national card, the actual shooting did not meet the expectations, no wonder it can't compare with the veteran.
      The whole script is full of coincidences, but after all, coincidences are necessary to make a movie, so it's nothing, but is it really difficult for a Manchurian female soldier and a young lady to distinguish these two people? Or Miss Jun Ji Hyun is born beautiful so she...

      assassinate

      Supplementary article written on September 19 last year, a few pictures are very beautiful, but they have not been uploaded.

      Expectations are high, waited for a long time, overall a little disappointed, but still can beat Samsung. Looking at Jun Zhixian, it has the same three-tier development as "The League of Thieves", so it will still be a bit messy.

      "Assassination" is directed by Choi Dong-hoon, starring Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Jung-jae and Ha Jung-woo. The film takes Shanghai...

      assassinate


      "Assassination" has the same anti-Japanese patriotic theme, assassination in espionage behind enemy lines, South Korean anti-Japanese films have already left all the scum of domestic anti-Japanese films. There is no such martyr fan who shouts slogans, fights chicken blood, and shoots at me. The plot of the whole film is very detailed, the characters are very real, and the emotions are very deep. The shaping and arrangement of the characters are very lively, not like textbooks,...

      The correct way of tearing the devil

      The same is to beat the devil, the Koreans played a different devil.

      In our domestic slapping devils, the director holds countless simplified labels and sticks them hard on both China and Japan. In anti-Japanese dramas, the most typical label is that the Chinese are good and the Japanese are bad; our army's millet and rifle always beat the well-equipped Japanese devils all over the place. It's like a person who has the right to speak will definitely beautify his past after he has...

      The stick movie you have to take

      There is a particularly interesting phenomenon in today's Korean film and television industry. There are so many problems with bad acting and poor acting skills in TV dramas. Idol dramas are the worst hit area, and there is no limit to how bad they are. This is very similar to My Great Celestial Dynasty, but the difference is that in such a big environment, Korean movies are at the forefront. Raised the performance of the entire country. You have to accept
          that "Assassination" has not...

      The plot is weak and the stars are strong. Untouchable lovers kill each other in the film, and the horror anchor devotes himself to national justice for the beauty kiss. The screenwriter is really unfair, Lee Jung Jae's character is really unpleasant, even showing his flesh can't arouse the slightest pity. On the contrary, Ha Jung Woo's character is so manly, and as an audience, he turns away...

      Another Korean beef X commercial film, no urine spots! Super tight! Wonderful! When the domestic film with the same theme was released, and the same film was shot by Chedun, why is the difference so big? The plot is rich with twists and turns, and the characters are full of richness. It has both the blood of killing devils and self-examination. It is interesting for the traitor to deceive the public who do not know the truth in court, but it is too deliberate for the assassination team to come...

      The 140-minute plot without ever picking up the phone is compact and the characters are in place. The characters are also shaped into three-dimensional transformations. I like the orange and gray-blue icy tones that I like to create. There are laughs and more tearful clips. The three leading actors praise their acting skills....

      In the process of watching, I kept thinking of "The Great Golden Robbery"... I can't help it, too many elements overlap... Moreover, the gap is really quite...

      The rhythm is tight, the storyline is clear, and the actors are superbly acting. The most important thing is that Uncle Ha Jung Woo is so handsome that he is so cool and...

    Evaluation action

    "Assassination" is very different from Dong-hun Choi's past entertainment-oriented styles. The first half of the film unfolds like a suspenseful film, the relationship between the various characters is broken and confusing, and the second half is mainly about saving the country by gun battle, which is exciting and dizzying. The production level of 19 billion won and the restoration of historical details have been affirmed. (Comment  )
