Each has its own brilliance, and pretending to be arrogant always leads to the same goal.

Slots: Forcibly adding an "assassin" to the title Accountant, maybe there is shit in the translator's head. The first time I saw this title, I thought it was a bizarre action movie like "Assassin League".

When "Infernal Affairs" was born, no one thought that Hong Kong's gangster and gangster films could still be shot like this. It was said that it was a police and gangster film, but there were very few scenes of open fire fighting, but the audience enjoyed it. It turns out that police and gangster films do not have to be Bang bang bang is the way to go, and you can enrich the plot by editing and acting.

It is said that this type of film can never escape "Infernal Affairs", whether it is the "Underworld" series of Hong Kong films later, it tries its best to restrain the action scenes and use more realistic violent scenes. It was impossible to deal with it before. of.

Then there's Hollywood's "The Departed," which was meant to be a remake. There's not much to say about it. The more obvious one is this one, "Accounting Assassin."

This movie should have been a typical Hollywood action movie from the title to the plot. The master sold his muscles and showed his IQ and crushed the villain, but from Daben's performance to the editing style of this film, it was a proper DC-style darkness. The style, repressed and full of experimentation, is, to put it bluntly, too pretentious.

Originally, a commercial action movie was nothing worth analyzing. When I was halfway through watching Daben's paralyzed performance, I couldn't get rid of Tony Leung's shadow. This is probably the reason why each has its own brilliance. Where, pretending is always the same thing.

Summary: After being used to watching the typical Hollywood muscle-beating remakes of sci-fi action movies, this type of scheming movie is undoubtedly small and fresh, and it is worth recommending.

  • Brax: When you interrupt somebody like that, it makes them feel that you're just not interested in what they have to say. Or maybe you think what you have to say is just more important that what I have to say. Is that what you think?
