7.5/10. The three people from poor families and brothers and sisters went to Vietnam, but because one person A was infatuated with a box of gold, they drifted away (because money became more important to A than brotherhood) until they became enemies. Several scenes of violent aesthetic gunfights are still handled well (sound effects editing and scheduling, etc.), such as soldiers shooting jewelry stores, bar battles with Vietnamese bully Boss Liang, and three people fighting Viet Cong in prison camps. However, the quality of the photography is too rough (the rough picture does not suit the tone of the film's story), and because the film wants to forcibly combine the small story of the three with the big story of the Vietnam War (but does not explore it in depth), the film has A lot of cumbersome plot.

Woo Yusen's violent aesthetics and the morality of the rivers and lakes also have the problem of not accustomed to the situation. Unaccustomed to the environment arises from the overwhelmed ambitions, and under the premise that the delusions of this door are not lost, the historical curtain must be raised, the US military tanks are brought in, the grand scenes are created, and even the classic episode of the deer hunter is also obsessed (it must be said, The red cloth strip De Niro’s counter-kill is indeed very close to John Woo’s liking, but even so, it still retains the cruel rhythm control and psychological game of Hollywood movies that pursue authenticity: put more bullets and play Russian roulette, dare you? Dare? Reverse the army! You can't turn everything into violent aesthetics, slow-motion gunfights like John Woo's extreme style)... In short, it's all kinds of high-end products, but instead, it makes me fall miserably, from the dance hall to the beachhead battle. , the bullets flying is very lively, but the actual perception is the same. The two scenes of the mid-section climax actually most profoundly expose the artistic style of Hong Kong Films' "everything is crazy and unrestrained" once it tries to get on the stage of realistic history (and this Exactly what Hollywood and mainland movies are good at) will be overwhelmed.
