Standard Hollywood Industrial Products

It's a remake of the old version in the 1970s. I haven't seen the old version, but this version seems to have shadows of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Shaolin Football" in it. Hong Kong people like to copy Hollywood scenes, and in turn, some Hollywood people will copy it. Hong Kong-produced films, after all, Hong Kong-produced films used to be more famous than today’s Korean films.

The plot is very routine, even every turning point, every time you stand up FLAG, you can guess what will happen next, but you can't help but be as excited as the people in the play after the big reversal at the end. The only regret is that the emotional line here is very weak, no matter the friendship or the "teacher-disciple" friendship, it is far inferior to the friendship between Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Ka-fai in "Prison". Adam Sandler is still quietly playing the cheap but endearing role.

But in any case, this is a standard sports genre, with inspirational, comedy, and topicality (exposure of the dark side of prisons). How long will it take for domestic films to be born to truly watch sports movies?
