very violent, very real

The film has almost no soundtrack. What strikes people is violence. The realism of Wu Yanzu's broken hands and the bleeding of his stomach and intestines when he died is quite shocking.
Although the character changes in the play seem to be a little faster, under the pressure of survival, this rapid change seems logical.
At the end, Jackie Chan dies and his brothers are cut off. This ending avoids the stereotypes of hero films and looks more realistic.
In terms of emotional scenes (including friendship), the special friendship between Naoto Takenaka and Jackie Chan's police and bandits has a taste of traditional Hong Kong films. When Jackie Chan arrived at the home of Xiuxiu, who had changed his name to Yuzi, his dialogue was continental-style tolerance and tacit understanding.
Of course, the focus of the film is not on these emotional scenes or the characters of these people, but on describing the living conditions of stowaways in a foreign country, which looks tragic. Human nature has bright spots and dark spots in it. As Jackie Chan, who is accustomed to shooting dramas, being able to act in such a movie is probably his wish as he grows older. I have to say that he does a good job, although his face is full of wrinkles and Xu Jinglei and Fan Bingbing are acting as lovers. It's a bit discordant, but it's still acceptable to lie to yourself, after all, people are also very serious about acting.
