A hero holding a rifle and a bomb

It’s not a Chinese film made by a foreigner or a foreign film made by a Chinese. The Westerners and Orientals in the film are what they should be, and it’s the contrast of this kind of culture. Harmony is a good rebate for the theme of "foreigner"

In particular, Guan Yuming, played by Jackie Chan, should be said to be a traditional martial art in modern society, killing one person for a thousand miles without leaving. Fuyi went to hide and fame. So when he threatened the rich and powerful, when Lin Xiangru assassinated the murderer, he used to return to the ordinary. Linghu Chong

There is no Hollywood style to save the world nor Wolf Warriors 2 style of family and country feelings. He is just a chivalrous man who came out of a fast food restaurant to defend the fairness in his heart and then walked back to the fast food restaurant. This is exactly a life in the West. The most Chinese-style hero no matter the sword or pistol in his hand

    On a certain level, it forms an interesting contrast and reflection with the "Out of thin air" I watched before... The characters are more plump (Brosnan's politician image is slightly one-sided). Finally, I can forget the "bad old man" who tried to laugh awkwardly in "Kung Fu Yoga" and other vulgar comedies, but a father who trembled and said "I have nothing left" and was ignited by his close relatives and the past. I also prefer to see Jackie Chan like this.

    Jackie Chan and 007 have also reached the age of the end of the hero, Ye Qingjie. (There are too many terrorist attacks in the UK)
