An hour ago, I was screaming and holding the grass. From the perspective of directorial debut, Keanu Reeves is simply an unborn kung fu movie prodigy. The first 60 minutes were smooth and hearty, and his attitude towards the male protagonist Chen Linhu changed from peace to mind. The depiction of utilitarian violence and brutality is progressive, in-depth and delicate, and the collision of characters' mentality and values through martial arts actions is also vivid (Yuan Ba Ye has contributed greatly). The most important thing is to defeat the debuff of co-production between China and the United States. The description of the mainland story line is obviously There are screenwriters from the mainland involved, and the Chinese people don't make a scene for the depiction of the scene. In this regard, it is better than a large number of co-productions under the banner of Chinese culture.
However, the ending is not very good. The Hong Kong police represented by Karen Mok implements the positioning of the tool person. After the hastily turned over the black boxing organization, they arranged a duel between Keanu Reeves and Chen Hu in the last 20 minutes. Nu Reeves wants to show his thoughts on martial arts philosophy and his admiration for Chinese culture, and he urgently needs to use the final battle performance to abide by the bottom line, indifference to the values of fame and fortune, and win against the loss of rational values by unscrupulous means, and then he cannot let Keanu Reeves be the big boss. It's so unpretentious that this film has a fantasy scene in which Keanu Reeves hangs and beats Chen Hu in less than ten minutes, and then is killed by Chen Hu with a punch. It can only be said that at the last moment, the director still messed up and ended hastily.
Of course, no matter what, Keanu Reeves's respectful and down-to-earth attitude towards Chinese culture is still commendable (Mulan and shangqi expressed their praise), and this film is still an excellent kung fu film. (To make a movie for my teacher and friend is really a kind of loyalty)
