A movie with too long foreplay

Today's atmosphere is to watch a cool movie, so I found this gangster movie starring Uncle Ma.

The plot is very creative, Uncle Ma's fist acting is the best in the audience, and the fans are very crisp. The first half of the film was too protracted, it seemed to be trying to make up the time, and there were many logical loopholes. When it came to the car chase scene, I thought it was almost over. Looking at the progress bar made me a little scared, and I couldn't hold back my fast-forward hand. As an aside, I can't appreciate why car chase scenes have always been standard in action movies.

But I didn't expect the last ten minutes to be wonderful. I like Uncle Ma's evil smile when he went to the prison the most, so that evil can overcome evil, and the most primitive human instincts have been released. This is the best point of this film. The idea of ​​the film also has some depth, but I didn't expect to add another scene of spicy chicken in the bathroom at the end, and I don't know if it was the director's bad taste.

I feel that the director's narrative skills have only reached the basic level. For example, the slow motion of Uncle Ma and the police walking side by side has defined the texture of the film at the average level and below, and can only be pulled back by the end of the film.

In the role part, the police are not very full, with 3 points less for publicity, 2 points less for loyalty, and there is no particularly obvious character, which has something to do with the actors and the script. A serial killer, but it can capture the main character, perverts, the director also uses photos, books and other details to tell the story of the killer, and does not treat the audience as a fool for dozens of minutes of recalling the past, but this is just a pass. level. The killer actor did a good job, and it tickles his teeth, but I think the actor himself is quite confused about how to play the last part, especially in the bathroom and the eldest brother evilly laughing at each other, what does that mean? The first second was the fear of a normal person, and the next second he showed a mentally ill laugh, not to mention the psychological activities. The scene is a bit beautiful, but it's not funny. This is the director's fault, not the actors.

Let's talk about Uncle Ma's acting skills. He is a serious type of actor. He is muscular in success and muscular in failure (and I have never been able to figure out whether he is fat or strong). He just has a face and body like "I am the most rough in the world, but also the best in the world". He played the bad guy in the flu, so I gave me the assumption that he must be an undercover agent among the bad guys. No reversal at the end is what I think is the biggest reversal on the flu plot. According to your stomach, Uncle Ma looks lovable, the camera likes him, and the audience is also good, especially when coupled with his performance style that does not show emotions and anger, looking up with small eyes, it gives people a hidden texture , shit, like it. It is difficult for him to challenge other types of roles, just like Chen Daoming was trapped by the anger of the emperor, this fixed type of role is both enviable and a little pity.

It may also be that my expectations for the film are too high, after all, this is just a commercial film with a lot of craftsmanship, even if it is a Korean product that is best at making crime films. Give it 4 stars, because Uncle Ma's fist is really cool.
