The story line is a straight line. Cai Tianming, a drug manufacturer, was arrested. He made great contributions to lead the police to negotiate business with the drug dealers. At the last moment, he escaped and betrayed the police. Although the main line is not complicated, the branches are still full, and there should be no doubts about the screenwriter produced by Galaxy. For example, the double camouflage between the boss and the drug dealer, the counterattack of Cai Tianming's disciples, the big deaf and the small deaf, and the big boss behind the big boss.
Although the plot of the movie is mainly about pretending to be undercover, the screenwriter didn't do anything like Infernal Affairs on the undercover. No matter whether it was a big shot or a drug dealer, they didn't recognize the disguised police officer. The audience will definitely guess whether the plan is revealed, but the villains are not as smart as they imagined. You can say that the plot is not complicated enough, but the screenwriters of Galaxy know what they are talking about. They are talking about a shopping spree and Cai Tianming's escape. And the sacrifice of the police, so they didn't make a lot of fuss about the undercover.
If it is said that the characters in this film are well shaped, only Cai Tianming is the only one who is full of characters. After all, this is his story. The policeman played by Sun Honglei is really eye-catching. I didn't expect him to be so suitable for playing To Qifeng's play. However, whether it is Sun Honglei or Huang Yi, they are still typical police officers in Hong Kong films. Justice, ruthlessness, and decisiveness, this is not the case. There are some breakthroughs, and his acting skills are also average, especially Huang Yi, who is straight. Everyone also knows what the role of Zhong Hanliang is. The big deaf and the small deaf are definitely the finishing touch. The bloody battle between the two of them and the police is the highest point in the whole film. I didn't expect the little character to have such a fierce firepower, but this kind of character setting is not right. Because the highlights can't be put too much on small characters. After this scene, the audience's eyes were raised. Everyone was looking forward to the bloody murder of the drug dealers and the police. The Hong Kong actors finally appeared. There were seven at the first appearance. It's not like the big guy behind it at all. When everyone is ready, the climax is about to come, and it's still too early to hang up.
The bad guys will eventually be caught, the police will always be righteous, the Radio and Television Bureau's requirements are not high, don't let the crime escape, don't let the government injustice, don't confuse our audience, I think it is this result that makes the film pass the censorship. Although it is a genre film, a cop film, we don't see the intrigue between the police and the criminal, the anti-fighting angle. All desires are direct, there is no concealment or conspiracy, that is, this directness makes the film anti-genre, makes the film the main theme, and makes the audience's audio-visual feeling direct and powerful. Although I said that it is not a lot, it is still a good story in my mind. There are only a few high-quality domestic films released in theaters. There are so many Chinese films, and there are so many films that pass hundreds of millions every year. It is really worth two hours. Bench time is really rare. Maybe if I know more about the professional knowledge of movies, I will know how to praise this movie, but now I am just a little movie fan, and I can only pick it from the perspective of the audience.
In fact, I was thinking that although this film is still the story of the galaxy, it is almost completely domesticated. Hong Kong actors appear like clowns jumping beams for a few minutes, which makes those Hong Kong movie fans satisfied. Perhaps the director was trying to imply that Hong Kong films had fallen and that films had to rely on the mainland for survival. The director went north, co-produced, and was tortured by censorship. Whether Hong Kong has invaded the mainland or the mainland has squeezed Hong Kong, but no matter which one is, it is not as good as the two.
