This is a martial arts movie, and it is also an anti-martial arts movie. Why do you say that? Take a look at the supporting roles in the movie, the boxing champion forgot what occupation, the leg king is an artist, the capture king is a tattooist, the weapon king is an actor, etc. None of these martial arts professions are related to martial arts. Let’s look at the others. David Jiang is a chef at a food stall. Donnie Yen said that he once knocked over dozens of watermelon knives with a long stick, but why is he a chef now, because of a car accident, his hands are disabled. In the end, Donnie Yen and Wang Baoqiang fought on the road. The first accident was when Wang Baoqiang flung out and was almost hit by a car and was caught by Donnie Yen. Peerless masters, but like David Jiang, they are also unable to fight cars. And finally, how did Wang Baoqiang die? A policewoman who didn't know martial arts killed Wang Baoqiang with a small pistol. Immortals can't hide from smoke, no matter how good martial arts are, they can't stop a big truck, and they can't hide from a small pistol. Obviously it is a martial arts movie, but in fact it is saying that martial arts are useless in modern society, so those boxing kings and leg kings have all integrated into the society, only Wang Baoqiang, a martial arts idiot, is a one-man martial arts. This person is not Donnie Yen but Wang Baoqiang. Finally, the tribute and music at the end of the credits are very good

    Probably the expectation is not high, so I am still very pleasantly surprised. Combining martial arts with detectives is a useful attempt in kung fu movies. Wang Baoqiang is really dedicated and has a lot of kung fu. The fight in the small street section is very exciting, and the climax is also sound. It's a pity that compared to the action movies of the glorious period, there are fewer new ideas, and the characters and values ​​are not perfect. It was also very touched to see so many familiar face action actors.

    The script is too rough, and the production is also very rough, Wang Baoqiang, Fan Shaohuang and Donnie Yen's two fight scenes are okay
