First of all, the appearance of Jackie Chan and a group of Hong Kongers weakened the taste of the mainland. This kind of homeland is more of a glimpse of Hong Kong people. Not very realistic. Not convincing.
Secondly, the story has many characters. But there are basically none that stand out. Both Japanese and Chinese are facialized. Did not stand up. To be honest I don't think they are Chinese or Japanese at all. too pale.
Then the director actually wanted to use gangster films to bring out the realistic records of the Japanese and Chinese at the bottom. This reminds me of Shinji Fukasaku's "Benevolence and Righteousness Series" which brought out the reality of Japanese society after World War II from gangster films. It can be seen by comparison. The director does not rely on both sides. From the plot point of view, it has become a too old-fashioned gangster film. Judging from the attempt to become an epic, it did not create a textured year.
What the story wants to depict is the Chinese bottom class who went to Japan in large numbers in the 1990s. There were many Chinese who went to Japan in those days. Most are back now. It may be better for this theme to be sold from the mainland. And going to Japan to work and earn money back then became the bottom. They are all people with no skills in the city. Not the ones from the countryside in the movie. And now the bottom layer in China's cities is actually composed of the labor force of the northern rural areas played by Jackie Chan.
