"Drug War" gave me a big surprise at the beginning. The surprise was that from the beginning of the car accident, it outlined a cruel and realistic feeling, and the corrosive burns on Gu Tianle's face made me understand that this is the same as "Putting Name" ", it is a real "dirty" movie, not the false "clean" of "the suit is straight despite the bullets." Especially when the Yuejiang police appeared, through Huang Yi's point of view, the camera gave a close-up of the scattered instant noodles in the car, which truly outlined the life of an anti-drug police officer. During the interrogation of Gu Tianle, the camera gave a close-up of the prohibition of torture to extract a confession. The angry youth and his girlfriend sitting next to me said: Can there be no torture to extract a confession in China? In fact, I really wanted to tell him: who dares, do you want a job? In the first hour of the film, I almost forgot that I was watching a To Qifeng movie, but a movie about the life of an anti-drug police officer, whether it was an anti-drug police officer played by characters such as Sun Honglei, or an armed border police officer like us. found their own shadow. The real human body hiding poison is even crueler than what the movie depicts, but in actual work, it is often possible to judge whether it is the human body hiding poison based on the face. Afterwards, the film made a breakthrough in showing some familiar case handling methods in anti-drug work, such as Sun Honglei's undercover reconnaissance, Gu Tianle's controlled delivery accompanied by "Haha" played by Sun Honglei, and the familiar monitoring and surveillance, all of which gave me inexplicable moved. In particular, the appearance of the "Jinhai" coast guard has enriched the narrative level, making "Drug War" a model of "multi-police cooperation". I joked with my comrades in arms: If we talk about anti-drug in the future, we can use this film as a teaching film. This shows how grounded and reliable the localization strategy of the "Drug War" movie is.
In the second half of the movie, especially when the SWAT police raided the large and small deaf drug factories, the audience familiar with the Milky Way began to find the standard style of Johnnie To, that is the signature "stand-up shooting", this signature shot, from " Very Sudden", "Gun Fire" and "Exile", which takes it to the extreme, are almost equivalent to To Qifeng. No wonder some viewers exclaimed: This is indeed To Qifeng! The ending of the movie "Tuan Extermination" is easy to think of "Very Sudden", which also has a strong sense of fate and nihilism, but this time it came more ruthlessly, more cruelly, and more coldly, and the story happened in the mainland.
In terms of characters, the most impressive is the drug dealer played by Gu Tianle. I said that I can't imagine that human beings can reach this level. My comrades in arms said that people can do anything for the sake of profit. She is a frontier armed policeman and a drug hero. She has handled several major cases. She used to stay awake for three days and accompanied a Vietnamese drug queen surnamed Ruan from Guangxi to Guangzhou and then back to Guangxi. That case let her directly Lost four or five pounds. She said that the son of the female drug queen started a new business in the Sino-Vietnamese border area to sell drugs, and on several occasions he got a field where the mother and son met with each other. After Ruan was arrested, in order to change his life, he even confessed the situation of his son.
A comrade-in-arms put it well: what is poisonous is not drugs, but human nature.
