From the plot, action structure and action choreography to analyze.
First is the plot. In fact, it is very thin, it is nothing more than a police and bandit story, one is attacking, the other is defending. From offense to defense, and finally to offense again.
Action structure, this is more innovative. The story is that a group of people attacked the gangsters in a building, starting from the 1st floor and attacking layer by layer. This structure reminds me of Bruce Lee's Game of Death, and it's also a layer-by-layer structure. There is also Shanghai Thirteen Taibao, which is passed one by one. This kind of action structure is easy for the audience to accept, a bit like a game passing one level at a time, and finally a big boss.
Focus: Action choreography. The action is smooth and the viewing experience is better than that of Hong Kong-produced films in recent years. Speaking of shortcomings, Hong Kong films also have microplots when they fight. For example, if this trick can’t be beaten, the protagonist will find a way to break the trick. Let the audience have a sense of substitution, and break through each other together. And the sense of substitution in this film is not strong, as if the audience is out of the way. It seemed that there was only blood left. Hong Kong products are not so bloody. Seeing that it turned out to be a white director, no wonder it was so bloody and violent.
Technically worth 3 stars.
