Recently, I accidentally rewatched this movie while staying at home. The first time I watched it, I felt a word "cool". The second time I watched it, my mentality was very stable (it feels the same as the male protagonist's father told the male protagonist about the meaning of life before he died), so people can see more "things" in a calm state , briefly talk about it, and share it with everyone.
There are spoilers involved, so watch with caution.

First of all, the nearly 7-minute first-person fighting scene at the beginning of the film is the longest in the history of Korean films. At least according to my viewing volume, I have never seen it for such a long time in other films. . .
I'm really not familiar with the director of this film, and the name is not familiar at least. There was a movie "I Am a Murderer" that had a high review before (I haven't had time to watch it, so I won't comment too much) I thought this buddy Do you have experience studying in the United States? Anyway, many directors in the Korean film industry now have American backgrounds, just more or less, and I think we Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and East Asian people are more capable of integrating. The system, on the other side, is immersed in the peak period of Hong Kong-produced films, and the fusion has created the prosperity of today's Korean films. (As for the censorship scale of each country, it will not be discussed here)
From the time the heroine entered the factory, various elements appeared, including daggers, bayonets, wooden sticks, iron rods, short-handled axes that are standard in Korean action films, black pistols, Japanese double knives, and glass Fragments. The scenes are dilapidated factories, corridors, and martial arts dojos. The characters that appeared were the crowd in white coats, the gang members wearing masks, the Korean gang boys in black suits, the thugs in taekwondo clothes, the sportswear with the zipper pulled to the collar (the Korean standard waste house dress) Xiami, until 7 At the end of the minute fight, the heroine was standing in the alley in the rainy night in a leather coat. The cool neon lights of the city in the distance were the background. The color selection in the camera made me travel to Keanu Reeves' "The Matrix" and Fager's. "heroic nature".
Then, the heroine was imprisoned like a patient in a white coat, delivering meals on time, and releasing hypnotic gas at a fixed time. This made me see the shadow of "Resident Evil" again.
The director seems to be very fond of the narrative expression from the first-person perspective, where the heroine pretended to be stunned and escaped, and switched to the first-person perspective for 3 minutes on the way to escape. On the way to escape, he passed through a series of internal areas of the killer organization, such as dance training rooms, cooking classes, theater performance stages, and beauty study backstage. In fact, this order is also very particular. The screenwriter took careful thought in it, which corresponds to everything the heroine experienced from the official task to the ending.
The dance training room reflects the heroine's first redemption mission, assassinating a Japanese character. The dance is about balance, and the legs are the core. When the heroine was fighting with the Japanese sword man, she didn't use her legs at all (compared to when she pushed the factory gang in the previous stage), which was very unscientific, so she was almost killed, but fortunately there was no danger in the end. When escaping, there are full-body shots, wearing black tight leather pants that highlight the legs, and the only motorcycle chase scene in the whole film. This motorcycle appeared very abruptly, and even the men of the Japanese sword man were riding motorcycles by coincidence, Instead of driving a black car to correspond to the identity of living in a large villa, it is actually to echo the dance studio, the only means of transportation with a certain impact speed that relies on legs to control balance. This motorcycle fight scene also made me feel familiar, but I can't remember which movie for a while. (If anyone knows, you can leave a message to remind me, Kangsangmida.)
After cooking, the chef corresponds to the second task of the heroine, which is the task of cooperating with the only best friend, and it is also the task of the best friend's redemption. The focus is on the task of obtaining data in the middle of eating Japanese food and catering to accompany wine. When escaping before, the heroine was hugged by the people chasing her in the back kitchen and almost controlled her. Like this mission, it failed to go smoothly, and the twists and turns also led to the tragic death of her best friend.
The performance stage corresponds to her third assassination sniper mission. She has to wear a wedding dress and hold a sniper rifle to kill people at her wedding, and then go back to her wedding from a calm face to a happy face. Isn't this the best in life? your acting skills.
The backstage of the dressing room corresponds to the heroine's final grooming and driving from the rooftop to the factory trading site to kill her ex-husband all the way. In the past, the heroine had a big killing spree, referring to the beginning of the film, almost all of them were without makeup (the assassination mission alone does not count, here refers to picking a group of actions), but this time, she appeared with makeup on. Even when she finally saw her ex-husband go to the back to chase the bus with one hand, all the background lighting was changed from the initial cool color to red, and the face fill light of the characters was also changed to warm colors.
As for the plot issue that is most criticized by everyone, there are indeed some unreasonable places, but the flaws do not hide the flaws. This has to be a very successful commercial. I even wish I could make a trilogy.
If possible, I hope that a domestic director can buy the copyright to remake it. It is a headache for domestic spicy chicken movies.
Several Korean remakes that Wang Qianyuan participated in have been very successful.
I just don't know which actress in China is capable of being Shuxi. . .
So, in the end, who made her become a villain?
I'm afraid the answer is already in the hearts of every moviegoer...
