To watch this show, first get to know the director, a clean, fat Mr. Gareth Evans. His work is the word-of-mouth "Assault", which created a new height of action genre films combining firearms in confined spaces with kung fu. The action scenes of the "Assault" series are brutal and real punches to the flesh, the cold rendering of the fierce gun battle and the tragic blood flow. Fighting in a confined space, challenging Bosses layer by layer, a bloody road to survival, strong and intense. This set of skills is 100% integrated into "London Gangs", and obviously surpassed. Synopsis: The boss of the London gang was killed by two gangsters as hooligans in the slums, which in turn caused the gangs of various factions to oppress each other, causing extreme chaos. The eldest son investigates the killing of his father and finds that it was just a move by the mastermind behind the scenes, and a bigger plan of extermination follows... . Since the director of the episode is a famous action movie expert, it is necessary to clarify the important point-the plot serves the action scene, and the highlight must be the main action scene of each episode. In this regard, it is responsible to say that the action scenes in the play surpass all the dramas. They are professional scenes shot according to the standard of big movies, and they are full of creativity. The first, fourth, and fifth episodes are the first, and three major action scenes. If there are students who make videos integrated and integrated, the audience will be hooked. A Boss encounter, confined space fighting; a blurred and thrilling assassination scene, the deformation of a confined space; a gunfight group scene with excellent offense and defense, a combination of tradition and creativity. In the first episode, the scene where the kitchen knife divides the corpse is singled out. There is a huge disparity in strength, the space is confined, brutal and fearful, and it is hand-to-hand combat. According to the horror movie scene, the director cooperated with bloody force to let the second male lead of average strength survive in a desperate situation. The style is vulgar and outrageous, but it is so cool. The fourth episode of the assassin's ambush escape scene. The terrifying snipers, those who were killed by the group and those who escaped by chance, coupled with the foggy plot advancement, are not only tense and exciting, but also render the mood of the episode. The movement of the camera and the mise-en-scene in this passage are very immersive, and I feel the same way. In the fifth episode, the special forces attacked the fortress shelter. Densely covered with organs, elite weapons, self-destructing PK, the devastating battle between the two professional and powerful factions makes people sigh with embarrassment. The precise attack of professional firearms, the endless immortality in line with human nature, and the physical defense with open minds, a rare group of gunfights. These major action scenes in the series are of the blockbuster level in terms of action design, camera positioning, and especially the scene scheduling. The style of the fighting scenes in the whole play is a bit extreme, which challenges the ability of ordinary people to endure, which makes the characters feel like superhumans who cannot be killed. However, it is interspersed with the presentation of hurt feelings, combined with the characters' temperaments, and rationally using various physical principles, just right to dilute the superhuman setting. From the narrative point of view, it is necessary to remind without spoilers: The theme story is a gangster movie, with family prosperity and decline like "The Godfather" and the intrigue of "Infernal Affairs", the director has invested a lot of pen and ink. The social background is very realistic, including the current British reality, Albania, Kurds, Gypsies, etc. take turns to be villagers. When watching the drama, because I am not a corrupt countryman, it is really messy. The narrative structure is a deduction and a case, a typical crime suspense thriller style. The main line and the sub-line are more brain-burning, with a lot of reversals, and they are reversals in the reversals that British dramas are good at, dark and cruel reality. This is relatively successful. In the history of film, the storytelling ability of the masters of the action genre is basically a short board, emphasizing martial arts over prose. Up to now, it seems that only the great god James Cameron can match the action and narrative in the world. . At the same time, this is another 9-episode TV series with each episode of 45 minutes, and the content is bound to incorporate more. Therefore, the director's performance is successful, and it is indeed not easy. Although the things shown are somewhat obscure and unsophisticated, the overall performance can still be passed.
