The movie is generally average. Although I haven't watched Part 1, I read the introduction and the plot of Part 1 is very similar. All robbers rob banks. confrontation with the police. But in this one, it feels like the police are completely overwhelmed by the IQ of the gangsters. Although at the beginning. The robbery by the gangsters is not an accident, leaving the hostages to wear the same clothes and disguises. But it seems that every step is inadvertent, and every step is not his real purpose. The performance of the bandits is still very good. Although there is internal disunity in the middle, the overall IQ is online. As for the confrontation between the police and the gangsters in the introduction, there is no such thing at all. Because the police, whether they are federal agents or negotiators, have actually played no role, and have even been largely held back by gangsters. Except when the male protagonist started, he established a very smart image. During the whole process, I didn't feel that he played a key role, and he was even very passive in terms of cracking. Female gangsters keep prompting and helping. The final case was solved. Think about it, if it wasn't for the female gangster who deliberately released water, or so. Deliberately leaving some clues, it may take some time for the police and federal agents to solve all the doubts.
This film is more like a tribute to the behavior of female gangsters, witty and intelligent, and righteous and awe-inspiring. Taking hostages like this as a cover, in fact, in many robbery movies, there is a common thing. If the robbers entrust their chances of survival to the hands of the police, that is to say, they really want to get resources from the police. This kind of escape basically ends in death. And if in the plot of the movie, in addition to the confrontation with the police, the gangsters have to have other second-hand preparations, such as plan B, and the final outcome of this type of plot may be reversed. But if the initial means is to take hostages for the purpose of robbery, then such films usually end up being killed by sniper guns lying in ambush outside.
In fact, the robbers who can do the ending, especially some big robbery cases, are not ordinary people, at least their IQ is very smart, otherwise there is no chance to rob. Do you think it's really like robbing a cash truck? And even if it's a robbery of a money-carrying truck, isn't there anything else that needs to be prepared?
In fact, many Hong Kong movies and American movies like this kind of plot very much, that is, a group of gangsters organize together to rob a bank. At this time, there will definitely be a negotiator, or a special agent or something like that. Hong Kong movies, but there will be a just and awe-inspiring Hong Kong police. And for American movies, there is an agent. It's almost become a routine. As a gangster, what I really want to see is that kind of big loser and smart, who really takes a gun and goes straight to robbery. Actually, it really doesn't make any sense.
Speaking of which, I don't know why, but suddenly I have the image of Ren Xianqi in my mind, that is, in many Hong Kong movies, whether as a policeman or a gangster, the image of Ren Xianqi always appears unconsciously.
Back to this movie. I think the plot is really ordinary, except for the final ending, the real purpose of the gangsters is to use after melting gold into metal. It's quite creative to take the gold away as the cleaning staff cleans the site. There's really nothing particularly surprising about others. There are a lot of movies where the gangsters are disguised as hostages or the gangsters just hide in a robbed bank and wait until people can get out of there before they show up.
And this movie is really nothing to the IQ of the police, the gangsters are not united within, the IQ of individual characters is superior, and there is a sense of justice that overflows. Although it is a robber, it is the embodiment of justice, and the plot is a bit old-fashioned.
It's ok if you just watch it casually, but it's not necessary if you watch it deliberately. There are no special highlights in this movie, only some slight reversals in the plot. Other than that, nothing else.
