Ha Jung Woo is playing the sadness of the Pyo family.

Maybe it’s because of the protagonist’s identity. The whole process is full of sympathy. I always hope that the director can give me a little comfort, even if it’s just a small happy ending. The pain that spreads slowly like a knife cut, still makes people admit that this may be the ending of reality. Although there is a metaphor of Korean identity, in fact, the film can be expanded to show the embarrassing and difficult situation of all the drifters, those who live far away from their homeland. Embarrassed and helpless, the embarrassed and humble people who eat instant noodle sausages in the convenience store are really only at the bottom? Every wandering person has had this kind of situation, but it's just that the situation is different? When he was chased and stopped by the police in the mountains, his expression of wanting to cry without tears is still impressive to this day. The director's heart is really cruel. The humble life of a low-level cannon fodder, the immortals fight and the little devils suffer. Immigrants who smuggle in, go to the blame and suffer, the law of the jungle with bloody social groups, just like the violent violence in the film, is thrown in front of the audience, is the dark cannibalism of social operating rules only a Korean characteristic? Then, where are the high-sounding civilized legal rights and human rights in the blood and blood of the bottom of the rampage?

It is from this point of view that the director's film is not only about the social issues of an ethnic group, but only with emotion, it's good to go home. . .

    At the beginning, those who spoke Mandarin were too lame to make people very playful, but Uncle Axe was really powerful. If there were guns and cars, the first half of the film could be cut by half. . The final murder motive is a bit unconvincing, but it's always cool and touching. From refugee mode to Superman mode to Kill Bill mode and finally back to refugee mode... "This is what happens if you don't believe your wife"

    Overall better than "The Chaser", because this one is more "clumsy". There are some problems with the beginning and the end. It would be better if Director Luo Hongzhen could keep it a little longer, especially the ending is too long-winded... But the middle is really full of firepower, killing the Quartet, all kinds of clues and conflicts are overwhelming, all the way Black in the end. There is an inexplicable sense of horror and absurdity in the scene where the Chinese gangsters eat meat and chew bones. I really like the cold and hard style of some Korean films.
