Few did not expect

The original intention of watching this film was not to be interested in the topic of Internet hackers, but to see Tang Wei and Wang Leehom among the cast and crew. The connection between these two people reminds me of "Lust Caution". This time I am full of curiosity about the two people joining hands again. The patriotic youth who played before sacrificed love to save the country. This time it is a pair of brothers and sisters. In one of the scenes, Zhou Xun’s husband came to strike up a conversation with Tang Wei and asked her for her phone number. Leehom Wang immediately stopped him decisively and made various disapproval to the other party, but what he didn’t expect was that when he opened the door of "Brother Hammer", he saw two The individual sleeps in the same bed without saying anything, which is obviously a special favoritism towards foreigners.

"Brother Hammer" squatted in prison for more than ten years, because the hacker used the code he wrote in the past to transform and use it. Leehom Wang must ask the FBI to release him from the university's dormitory regardless of obstruction and intervention. Assist in solving the case. After he was released, he blindly protected, and even later officially asked him to send "Brother Hammer" back to the country. He also resisted orders from his superiors and helped "Brother Hammer" plan an escape plan. This kind of transnational classmates and friends felt emotional and heavenly.

The language switching between English, Mandarin, and Cantonese made this drama become nondescript from the high-foreignness envisaged in the original mind. Wang Leehom's Mandarin had an accent, and he was awkward to hear what he said. But hypocritically, there was a scene where he pulled Tang Wei to a certain corner and began to discuss how to continue the hacking investigation. He spoke better English to her, and then the two Chinese began to communicate in non-native languages. drunk.

One of the selling points of the film is the love between Tang Wei and "Brother Hammer". So the audience friends are full of expectations that some romance will happen. As a result, they seemed to have a sharp heart, and suddenly met their eyes. There is no setting up at all, except that in a restaurant, Tang Wei said to him like a psychology teacher to teach students to cheer up and not to be constrained by the prison disaster of perspective and foresight. Then on the sky bridge, I kissed, and then I followed life and death. The development of feelings is so nonsensical that people have no ideas. Their entanglement saved their lives, because while they were frankly speaking to each other, Wang Leehom was tragically killed by a bomb in the car alone, so he was sacrificed for no reason because of the plot. .

The scene of cracking the hacker code in the movie is also very perfunctory, like a very advanced thing, but if you do it a few times while fooling the audience, it will be gone. The final confrontation was a battle of strength between "Brother Hammer" and counterfeit hackers, but with a few strokes of a knife, he settled the opponent in a thunderous manner and won the victory and the beauty, so the two stayed and flew together. .

This is a beautiful story of love hackers, handsome men and beautiful women, that a director uses his own imagination to weave, but the audience is really not in the mood to pretend to be a qualified spectator and applaud this pot of chaotic stew, so this movie The downturn in the film's box office also has a certain trajectory to follow.
