It was basically the original crew of the raid, except for the familiar mad dog uncle. Makes me wonder if the number of male stars in Indonesia is sometimes a little bit small? It may also be to ensure word-of-mouth and attract old audiences. The films that these people have worked together have not disappointed.
This is a very good action movie, to be honest. In the past few years, apart from this group of people, I have not seen any decent Hollywood or other regional action movies that give people this kind of bloody feeling, unconsciously they will clenched their fists, all muscles will become tense, etc. It was only after the fight that I found myself stiff. The Arctic City and the Ace Agents are still a little bit more artistic, lacking a bit of primitive and barbaric flavor. Let me have a feeling when I first saw Tony Jia's boxing fighter: the fight is fresh and full of fists. The action is concise and clear, not sloppy.
By the way, for action movies to fucking all kinds of sub-shots, what they want is a straight shot of continuity. Certain actors in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have no basic skills at all, so they can only rely on various shots to cut and piece together. One action can cut out 18 sub shots for you to recycle, slow motion, and speed up the replay. This disgusting action scene was performed to the extreme between 2000 and 2010. In recent years, one or two action movies have been so-so. Hong Kong action movies used to be my favorite genre, with beautiful movements, agility and creativity. It is a pity that not only the original characteristics have not been passed on, but also the rising star is not as good as a litter of mice under the weasel.
In contrast, Indonesian action movies have inherited the characteristics of Thai action movies and have some new ideas and creativity of their own, especially in terms of bloody performance. I really miss the plasma movies in the 1980s, but at that time, I was restricted by conditions and could not express the effects and logic other than plasma. Now the Indonesian action movies meet my needs. Basically, use a knife to continuously thrust and slash with a long weapon. All you have to do is to hit the bloody intestines, bones, and brains all over the field. In fact, this is what B-level film fans want. Why can't many horror films make this effect?
If there are any shortcomings in this movie, it may be the usual fault of action movies. The plot seems very thin, without characterization and tension. Many times you will feel that he is deliberately creating action scenes for the purpose of expressing the action scenes. The dragon sleeves are used to hit the knife with the neck, or push the chest with the chest. The fight that the boyfriend’s friend was assaulted is still understandable. The period when the boyfriend finally entered the boxing gym with bare hands and hard liver is too far-fetched. At any rate, picking a knife and slashing saves time and effort, but it is to show a sense of various blows. Use weapons and routines again. It would be better if it could be handled more naturally in this regard. Many people had high hopes for Tonija back then, but unfortunately some of the later shots were too repetitive and would soon be bored by the market. I hope these people will not repeat the same mistakes.
