      Comment on martial arts

      Disappointing, the name is so powerful, but the movie has nothing to do with martial arts. Chen Kexin is not Chen Musheng, it's one grade away. Takeshi Kaneshiro plays a second-hand detective who speaks Sichuan dialect, and really thinks of himself as an onion. In fact, before watching the TV show, I didn't expect the plot to be good, but if it was Donnie Yen, at least it would be very lively. In the end, I didn't expect that this guy, Nima, also started to be lazy. The two-hour movie only took...

      actually good

      When I watched this movie, I was amazed by Takeshi Kaneshiro. In fact, I had never seen anything except the school bully that he filmed a long time ago. But in martial arts, his eyes are really good.
         When it was over, I asked the friend next to me, how is Xu Baijiu? She replied, dead.
         I really don't want him dead.
         At the end, the clone shed tears while holding an umbrella, as if saying goodbye. Maybe Xu Baijiu is indeed dead, but if he doesn't die, I don't think he will...

      American style martial arts film, very rock

      Let's just say BB,
      anyway, my feet are pretty good, how about you?

      The camera lens is especially like an American horror movie, the soundtrack is like a high-end Hollywood blockbuster, the color is like a 90s Hong Kong film, and the rhythm is like Chen Kexin himself. The plot is suspenseful reasoning + funny + stream of consciousness... Generally speaking, the director, camera, soundtrack, beauty, martial arts, editing, and special effects are all very good, the only two not good...

      Hua Tuo Franklin broke the White Lotus Sect

      The scenery is soothing.

      Founder sponsored? What is the son's name Fangzheng?

      There should be a mystery to the ex-husband's departure.

      The close-up of the meridian is a bit like csi, but the meridian has not yet been studied.

      The life experience of the paper workers is all a failure, like a martial arts novel that is not in the mainstream.

      The plot of saving the butcher child is very similar to that in "Tear Doomsday", where Batman saves the...

      The director wants to express a lot of things... In order to force the truth, he put all kinds of weird sentences into the movie... In order to show off all kinds of unfamiliar terms, Shengsheng let a small catcher learn martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, etc. Undergraduate ~
          boring plot, what do you want to express? What can I think of when I see it, I resonate a little. Completely forgot. . .
          Wu: There are too few fights. There are only three...

      Director Chen Kexin, since you are deeply aware of the truth of pretending to be struck by lightning, don't you think that it is a good thing for you, an illiterate, to popularize junior high school physics to the public? What's more, looking at the many flaws you arranged in this bridge section, you failed in junior high school physics? It's a mistake to let the young and the dangerous talk about...

      The last scene adds points to the film. What is the theme of the film? A person's efforts are often not necessarily related to fate. Takeshi Kaneshiro is a joke. This is purely a bad joke movie, if not, it's purely a bad...

      The director had a new idea, but he didn't hold it, and the ending was too bloody. PS: There is a star for Tang Wei, a real beauty, one of the few bright spots in such a not-so-great...

    Movie plot

    Xu Baijiu ( Takeshi Kaneshiro ) came to the town to investigate the deaths of two robbers. The two who seemed to have died accidentally due to Liu Jinxi’s self-defense reaction, turned out to be the top ten fugitives of martial arts, how can an...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Peter Chan flew on-axis in Seoul, South Korea, Bangkok, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, and the mainland for intensive post-production. He worked continuously for 40 hours without rest. The only time he could sleep was on the plane   .
    When "Swordsmen" was filmed, some netizens joked: "Zhen" Zidan, Tang "Wei", plus Jincheng "wu", it happens to be "true mighty". After Donnie Yen heard this, he joked and added Chen "Ke" to Xin, which means...

    Positive view

    "Swordsmen" is a Swordsmen film with a strong literary and artistic temperament in the Chinese film industry. In addition to martial arts clips, it makes people want to watch it a second time. The performance of Donnie Yen and Takeshi Kaneshiro ( especially Takeshi Kaneshiro ) in the play is amazing. Because Liu Jinxi concealed his secret life experience, he was innately required to deduce a compound character who is both righteous and...

    Opposite view

    "Swordsmen" picks up Yahui that has not been used a hundred years ago. After putting aside the huge and empty name, it is actually talking about scientific investigations. The Chinese version of Conan needs to be rigorous, similar to a detective. Novels, but combined with Swordsmen, inevitably conflict. Investigate the reasons. Scientific investigations are about science, Swordsmen is about romance and fantasy. An author who doesn’t...

      Detective Xu Bai-Jiu: [sternly] To serve the law!

      Xu's investigator: If the law doesn't help reform people, what good is it?

    • Detective Xu Bai-Jiu: Is the law really more important than humanity?
