Before we get to the topic, let’s ask a little question. At the beginning of the film, the water in Boss Hei’s swimming pool doesn’t look very clean. Could it be that it attracts sea water, and the sea water won’t be so dark.

If this was in Hong Kong 20 years ago, the process of Statham teaching the second male on the road would not have been so easy. There will be a small test for the second male, and he found that the second male has the potential to be bold and careful; In the process of the second performing the mission alone, Statham would covertly protect the whole process, saving the second male's life at a critical moment, and even blocking the bullets shot at the second male with his body; the relationship between Statham and the second male will not be purely pure Killing, there will be two people listening to beer together and telling each other sincerely; that is to say, the word "righteousness" will have a more vivid expression;

if this was in Hong Kong 20 years ago, the heroine would also It can be said to be a female supporting role, because there is only such a female who does not appear much, although she also has a lot of ink, but she has a lot of charm. She participates in the actions of the male protagonist more or less, and in the end, she is often used by the villain boss. Threatening the male protagonist with a gun, such as Ye Qianwen in Two Heroes, Maggie Cheung in Police Story;

if this was in Hong Kong 20 years ago, the ending would not have been like this, Statham would have guilt in his heart, or finally give the second male lead A gun, leave his back to the second male, and leave his life and death to the second male, or he will slam the pistol without bullets at the second male, and let the second male kill him naturally...

It is also the ending that surprised many of our Chinese audiences, so let me give this film one more star!
