This killer doesn't care

The male protagonist is an actor I like very much, basically the theater directed at him. However, the viewing process is not as enjoyable as "Doomed", so let's give it a three-star. Rhythm, rhythm! The idea of ​​the film is actually better than doomed, but the director's grasp of the sense of rhythm is really not as good as doomed. The fast places are too fast, and the slow places are too slow, making people feel that they are always unable to catch up. Pity. I always thought this movie could have been made better.

Closer to home. The male protagonist is a killer. This killer is neither ruthless nor chivalrous. He just does what he thinks he should do and does it. That stupid apprentice is the exact opposite. Mingming's relationship with his father is very ordinary, but he wants to "revenge" after learning that his father was killed. In fact, he didn't want to do this for his father, but his father was killed and gave him a chance to do something wrong. No wonder his father didn't choose him back then, because he really couldn't support Ah Dou. He is not judged by reason, but driven by emotion. He learned some methods, but not "methodology".

Finally, let's sigh about Chinese movies. It feels like there is a gap of at least 100 years between Hollywood and Hollywood. It is not just the shooting method, but the narrow, superficial and unreal themes.
