The first half is full of tension, the plot is ups and downs, thrilling and tortuous, but there are evil and bad things everywhere, and there are hardly any good people in the movie. Li Shanjun played the male number one. When his mother died, he drank and drove into someone, and also put on an official show in front of the traffic police. This kid was ruined as a "servant of the people", and it was worth it! What about colleagues? Corruption and bribery, knowing the law and breaking the law, lose the bottom line. On the contrary, the traffic police at the checkpoint, obviously taking up the legal principles, only promised to flatter and please their superiors, not to mention the villainous policemen who are doing bad things. Such works with an extremely dark atmosphere are commonplace in Hong Kong and Taiwan films in the 1980s and 1990s or in the films of the Coen Brothers. However, due to the "great" censorship system in the Mainland, only the shady scene of "Xiu Chun Dao" Ming Dynasty anti-corruption Jin Yiwei can be filmed. , Or praising the benevolence of the gang boss "Nationwide Witness", in fact Ning Hao director "No Man's Land" and director Gao Qunshu "West Wind Fierce" once wanted to get rid of it, but compared to director Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" back then, it's a bad time. However, in the Korean film industry, similar works frequently appear, and it is worthy of reflection by Chinese editors.
Going back to "To the End", the film focuses on suspense, thrillers and violent fights. Except for the protagonist who repeatedly hits the big luck and wins by chance, the emotional drama has no place to unfold, and the degree of completion is relatively high. At least you won't see fatal bugs like "The green tea bitch in "Little Times 3" deliberately tears up and makes a noise, the sick and dead writer turns into a male model to be sensational", "The Four Famous Catches" makes people sick and brain-dead". On the contrary, in the section where the corpse was hidden in the morgue, the male number one laboriously put the corpse into his mother's coffin and kept avoiding others from tracking. It was really thrilling, and it made you nervous at all times. The latter part of the scene is basically tracking fights. This little "filial piety" conscience and corrupt policeman got into a bad boss who was a witness to the car accident. What bombs detonated a car sunk at the bottom of a lake, what indoor close-ups, climbing windows at high altitudes, gnawing hands and biting scalps, how violent and bloody the two brothers came, are completely old Hollywood B-level movies.
Of course, this kind of work is just a commercial high-quality fast food, not elegant. However, the work never shy away from the so-called "dark side of human nature." At the end, the pile of banknotes in the villain’s vault is the black humor of the editor's heart of "small evil fights and great evil, and corruption never ends", a helpless insinuation to the bad guys in society. . This kind of movie does not care about it. It may be difficult for the audience to dig into the depths. However, the escape and breakthrough games of the leading male protagonist render the unique suspense and violence of the crime film to an extremely good level, and never leave the audience. Any chance of breathing is quite enjoyable.
