The 72-hour cat-and-mouse game between the police and the bandits, from the initial tit-for-tat to the final sympathy; from the initial setting of Andy Lau’s life with the bandit, to the fact that his whereabouts are unknown at the end, Director Du played a warm card to make people feel good. There is still the greatest hope in my heart, hoping that he just hides in a corner unknown. The conflicts and friendship between the police and the bandits are no longer dealt with so tense, but with tears in laughter.
In most of his gangster movies, female characters are mostly on the verge of playing soy sauce, to a large extent just to polish the plot. But in this film, a rare relationship is arranged to end. Although this relationship ended without a problem, it made people feel a kind of warmth and expectation. Let the parting life and death that should have become warm and tender.
As always, the high-level dubbing of Du-style movies, and this movie is no exception. The opening is similar to the shots of Scottish bagpipes and Andy Lau, giving people a sense of sadness that the hero will pass away; in the later part of Andy Lau and Meng Jiahui’s coincidence, the soundtrack is similar to come to me, but after the adaptation, it looks more graceful and a little sad, which is also for this. Duan Wushui's feelings are the most metaphorical. At the very end, when the soundtrack of the Scottish bagpipe and the male vocals sounded, it made people even more moved, tragic but determined, and even have the illusion, maybe he will come back sometime.
