The constant laughter coming from the cinema does not satisfy me. The quality of the film is not precise, the plot logic is chaotic, and the roles are not arranged properly. Except for a few main actors, most of the police officers and the seven drug lords are actually acting like they are for the sake of the movie. Catch the climax of the shootout at the end of the film and use life to make soy sauce.
However, compared with most domestic police and gangster movies, there are too many points of note.
The first is that in the end, the enemy and me are completely destroyed, and the police officers are no longer the strong men who cannot be beaten to death.
Second, it abandoned the usual sensational scenes in police and bandit dramas, and did not explain the family backgrounds of both the police and bandits, but only showed A Mingzai's nostalgia for his deceased wife and the tears in the corners of his eyes when burning RMB.
Third, the details are rich, the camera movement is real, the scenes are smoothly connected, and the shooting is enjoyable and truly shocking
. Fourth, it does not overly praise the police or smear drug dealers too much. Coupled with the brutal killing, it can be regarded as a new leap in the scale of Chinese film screens.
After watching the movie, I am still thinking, there are so many police officers who have left an impression on me, but very few of them are still the image of the police officers who have always been righteous: they are just doing their best to make the criminals subdue the law, pooling money to buy tickets, and all kinds of advanced monitoring equipment. . There are not too many battles of wits and bravery, that is, Captain Zhang caught A Ming's password twice. There is still no breakthrough in character.
As for the villains, the most prominent one is A Ming played by Gu Tianle. The desire to survive, in the early days of the hospital to hide in the morgue, but also to avoid the pursuit of the police, after being caught, he tried his best to cooperate with the police in hopes of getting a commutation of his sentence. After meeting the seven drug lords, he wanted to use them to escape. Keep providing clues and fantasies to get forgiveness.
In addition, the deafness of Dalong and Xiaolong has created their different personalities and ways of doing things from ordinary people. They trust and appreciate their benefactors and masters. The film uses the burning of RMB to exaggerately express it. For the enemy, that is, the police, they are cautious and wear body armor even when taking a bath. When fighting, they are ruthless, quick, and resourceful, and escape from the tunnel.
Perhaps the creation of a positive image is still closely related to the domestic censorship system. When watching certain scenes, I can't help but think, if it was Hong Kong, how would the actor perform?
In a word, Lao Du of Hong Kong has brought mainland police and bandit films to a new level, and they are no longer normal. In the chaos of police and bandits, I have seen the light of hope in mainland police and bandit movies...
