Write a film review for the first time.

Of course, this is not a film review, because I don't want to discuss the clichés and maladies of the plot, the frailty and mental retardation of the characters. I also don't want to discuss the director's technique and the theme of the story. From a movie perspective, this is a bad film. But what I want to express is another aspect. When I watched it, I felt insulted. I beg everyone not to go to the cinema to watch this film .

The filming cycle of this film is only 20 days. It will be released in China on June 29 and DVD will be released simultaneously in the United States. Fans shouldn’t just think that this is the Chinese in Hollywood just because Huang Xiaoming plays more roles than Stallone. This film is not released at all in the United States, it is only released directly as a disc. This is a film that was completely shot for the Chinese and prepared to collect money.

From beginning to end, it showed a particularly ugly appearance. Still very flattering. Xi Mengyao was invited as a guest, and he used Qingdao dialect twice. I don't know if Huang Xiaoming starred in American movies or Stallone starred in Chinese movies. Except for the two of them, most of them are cheap actors at a glance.

This movie sucks because they just want to save money. It's not just that the director's skills are not good, the most important thing is that people don't even want to shoot well.

The main scene with the most dramas, the prison, can hardly save money. That futuristic cell design, Shanghai's KTV and escape room are more decent than him. The arena is an open space where the ground is not smoothed, and then a circle of lights is added, and it is gone. In any other scenes, the environment has not been explained, and there is no long-range lens, because the more explained, the more arrangements need to be made. Fu Huadao this movie does not exist.

Special effects, very funny.

All the scenes are a panoramic main lens, plus a single macro close-up with only the face, shallow focus, and the face moves a little to lose focus, and then focus back. The texture is like the auto focus of the iPhone. The background is so blurred that no layout is needed at all. This is the filming method of domestic TV series. The most trouble-free shooting method. But the domestic TV series still have over the shoulder. This movie doesn't even have a over the shoulder shot, it's also a style.

The story is explained by lines, and there are even late audio patches used because the mouth is not in line. Did you recite 1234567 at the scene? The sound effects of the drag racing show are not as good as the sound effect material packs on Taobao.

The end of the hurried end gives people a sense of TV drama that will be followed by the ending song and the next episode trailer. Even if there is a sequel, it does not mean that this one does not need to finish the story. The difference between movies and TV shows is that TV shows are open, while movies are a closed loop.

Because the first part is not bad, I know that many people will want to watch the second part. I once again beg everyone not to go to the cinema to watch this film . There are very high-definition resources on the Internet, please do not send money for such films. Don't let the filmmakers think that we are China, people are stupid and money comes quickly. Do you think that making films of this level come to China for special screenings because they value us or because they look down upon us?

    Huang Xiaoming's role seems to be for Zengzidan, Wing Chun and Kuaiquan. But Huang Xiaoming's performance is finally not that contradictory. But, can you be more careful about the explosion scene at the beginning of such a production?
