On the other hand, in South Korea, after decades of dictatorship and repression, films of gloomy, dark, oppressive, underworld government, and underworld have emerged one after another. It’s not that such films really reflect reality, but as a Chinese, I feel a sense of darkness in my heart. , After all, apart from the language, the general environment and thinking concept before Korea are almost the same. And this film is still about the Chinese people's murder and desperate resistance in South Korea. It does not remind people of the novel "Daquan Gang" serialized on Tianya. A group of people who are driven crazy by reality can only use violence and can only use Violent to another relatively less violent place to use blood to create their own world.
This film, the whole is cruel, cruel, cruel to the end, by the way, sarcasm and satirize the government's incompetence. Although there are such and such flaws, for example, Boss Mian can't get the money without going all over the place and running to South Korea to hack people. He has so many terrible subordinates and he has to choose a rookie to complete the task. How can a rookie suddenly change? Invincible Xiaoqiang? And why are the Korean underworld bosses so cowardly in this film? In addition to scolding subordinates, are you afraid? Why is it a watermelon knife in addition to an axe? Where does a fighting guy like a mountain-blade knife go? Koreans generally use 54 pistols to work, why are there no guys other than kitchen knives? None of that matters, what matters is: wow, there's a fucking movie about this kind of gang history. In contrast, Hong Kong's Daquan Gang movies in the 1980s were a bit too comical, and the boss was either a pervert or a dashing and majestic, completely out of touch with reality. The biggest feature of this film is that it is close to reality.
But Koreans are still Koreans after all, not my race, and their way of thinking is still relatively linear. Now I am also a savage voice, eating, drinking and having fun. Young people have long forgotten the cruelty and struggle in society. After watching this film, I can still recall some memories of the end of the Cultural Revolution.

Let's talk about the plot and loopholes:
A: Boss Jin is the victim's younger brother. Boss Jin is the founder of the gang. The victim should be a partner or a behind-the-scenes planner. He is a person with high intelligence and loyalty. For example, a Korean homeless man will give money immediately when he sees it. Support is very good at winning people's hearts, but his social status is high, he has won a silver medal in judo at the Olympic Games, and he is a tenured professor at the most famous university; in
contrast, his younger brother must not be able to fight, and the second does not have the brain of an older brother. He is cruel and lacks decision. With his ability, he is not afraid of the status of the Korean underworld boss, so the victim actually organized the real boss!
The reason why the younger brother wants to kill the elder brother is because the younger brother's mistress has something to do with the elder brother. Before this, Boss Jin sent two of his subordinates to kill the younger brother, there was an interesting conversation, and when he first saw the news, he glanced at the younger third, All in all, Xiaosan knew about the younger brother killing the elder brother. This is a big taboo in the underworld. If the fake boss killed the real boss, if most of his subordinates knew about it, they would definitely not be convinced.
So Boss Jin (younger brother) sent an idiot director to entrust his brother's bodyguard driver and two idiots to kill his brother. Line A is clear.
Line B: Someone said: The victim's wife had an affair with someone else. I don't agree. As for who the client is, I have not explained, but it is absolutely impossible to be his wife, otherwise he will not be caught. The person in the bank is an adulterer, so he did not report to the police, and he cannot tell the truth, because it is not good for him to report to the police, and the police will definitely find out. He hooked his sister-in-law, and the rest of the community would still kill them both for Liwei. If it was the two of them, they could have lured the killer to work at home, or provided more detailed information. This is not important, what is important is that someone entrusted Boss Mian, and Boss Mian asked Jiu Nan to go out. When a rookie went to kill, he happened to meet a person from Line A and accidentally killed the driver of Line A, and the story began.
Boss Jin saw that someone ran away, and it was not his own. This person was an eyewitness. He had to get rid of Hisao, otherwise the club would know that the driver had started, and then follow the clues to find him and obey his brother's martial arts school (brother's kung fu is First-class, runner-up in judo, 3 people used knives for a long time to kill), so he was always nervous, Boss Jin can only send two henchmen at this time (the director and another handsome bearded guy, who was later hacked to death by Boss Mian ) to work.
A director who was doing business was run by Boss Mian in China, and in order to save his life and told that the clue was very valuable, Boss Mian began to run to South Korea to blackmail Boss Jin, and began to chase and kill Jiunan everywhere on the condition of his life as the final payment. Later, Boss Mian thought that he had figured it out: knowing that when he returned to China, the police could not catch Boss Jin through Jiu Nan, and he accelerated the threat to Boss Jin. In fact, there is a loophole in Boss Mian's low IQ: Jiu Nan sees the driver killing people, as long as he is caught by the police, he will touch Boss Jin along the way; now Boss Jin is in a hurry, he thinks Boss Mian may want to blackmail him endlessly. Because Boss Mian's logic makes no sense at all. Therefore, Boss Jin did not hesitate to launch a large-scale war. He didn't do it before, because he was afraid that the people in the club would make a big deal. He knew the situation through Boss Mian, but he was forced to panic. Anyway, he killed him and fought desperately. As a result, Boss Mian's killing skills were too high, so he ran away, bit back at the person who killed Boss Jin, and perished with Boss Jin.
Jiu Nan was looking for his wife while running away. His wife was dismembered by the fish seller. This line is relatively clear, because the quarrel between the fish seller and his wife was confirmed by the neighbors. There is blood everywhere in the house. This is an Easter egg left by the director. There is also a picture of the baby, so the one who lives here must be: a fish seller + a long-time husband and wife, the fish seller said: If she lived with her for so long, she would kill her when she returned to China. It was 100% that his wife was dismembered, and after the dismemberment, he met his son, so the fish seller was very nervous and scared out of shit. It is very likely that he had seen his photo.
The people who went to the director's house to catch Jiunan were all rookies. Some people said: It was the person who killed the wife of the victim, but it didn't make sense. How could they be caught by a blind cat and a dead mouse? If it was the victim's wife and adulterer, why didn't they kill the professor in the first place? I think these two are the reserve members of the North Korean gang who are going to handle matters. They were sent by Boss Kim to look for trouble with the directors. They are relatively incompetent. , they must have been sent by the boss to do it or not. As a result, they accidentally bumped into Jiu Nan, so they killed him by the way. As a result, Jiu Nan was too awesome, and he killed two more.
The last is a montage, which can't explain anything. It may be a fantasy before his death, or it may be real. This is what the director wants to make ambiguous.
Vulnerability:
Boss Jin, it is enough for extortion by remote control. If you can't commit yourself, it is a taboo to go to other people's territory. He should know.
Jiu Nan, a rookie who turned into a killer lion, is too awesome. This sprint and long-distance running with a knife and axe has first-class racing ability and technology.
Boss Jin: You don't have to send a group of people to kill with a knife. If you pour gasoline on it and burn it, it will be over, or you will kill with a gun during negotiations.
Overall: Why only watermelon knives? Koreans have no other weapons?
