This killer is not too tender

Among the five evaluation words, I swayed the mouse back and forth, not knowing which one to choose. It was a little bit worse, but it was not my intention if it was okay, and there was still a scene of three women fighting in my mind. Especially the scene between Karen Mok and Shu Qi, which is beautiful and gorgeous, yet clean and neat, so I focused on this highlight, and it was okay in the end.
In fact, when I watched this film, I ordered it at random. I thought it was a European and American film. After I waited, I saw Mandarin, and when I looked at the screen, I knew it was made in Hong Kong. Another reason I am interested in this film is that it involves computers. I have studied computers for a period of time, but I have not become a computer expert, but I am very longing for those computer experts. Of course, the film is not about a computer expert. At first, I thought that Zhao Wei was a computer expert with an extraordinary high-tech IQ, while Shu Qi was a real killer with unusual movements and marksmanship. The combination of the two is simply invincible. At the end, I understand that not only Zhao Wei can operate the computer, but another person can also operate it.
Looking back now, ignoring those fighting movements and body displays, the rest is the story of a professional female killer with her sister and a policewoman entangled, and also the helpless love of the female killer. Maybe the director also wanted to show the friendship between women, that kind of sympathy for each other. For this, I can only sigh like Shu Qi and the handsome guy in Korea.
Probably because Korean love scenes were filmed so well, the director thought of hiring Koreans. So the handsome guy came on. I didn't really understand the meaning of the vase before, thinking that those beautiful heroines would do everything, shake a few times in front of the camera, and everything would look so perfect. Now I know I was wrong, a vase is a vase, it can only be a flash in the pan, it won't give a fatal blow. I can only say thank you to the handsome Song Seung-heon for coming to China to make a film.
The end of the film, the ending is not too unexpected, as expected. Shu Qi was killed by her rival, and her sister Zhao Wei turned her grief into strength and persuaded Karen Mok, who was framed, to launch a revenge operation. The adversary also guarded against fakes, and invited computer experts and security guards from abroad, so the climax of the film was staged here.
I haven't seen the killer in real life, and even if I have, I don't know. So I don't know what the real killer looks like, what features are there or not, but the title of the film is somewhat interesting, like the fairy tale of the early killers. But I really have nothing to say about Shu Qi's cool and Zhao Wei's willfulness and naivety. If the killers were like this, then there should be no legends about them in the rivers and lakes. They can only be said that they are angels, but unfortunately it is near dusk.
When I saw the time the film came out, I pushed my glasses to make sure I saw it right, 2002. It turns out that the latest movie rankings will also fool people. If you let me go back 6 years to watch such a movie, there is no need to investigate the realization of the actors and the fact that I don’t know who made the script. At that time, such a killer could appear, and it was a female killer. I will say: this killer is not too tender.
After watching a movie, taking a nap, and waking up, talking nonsense.
