benefited from the excellent chemical reaction between Washington and Wahlberg. The film is not concealed, and it makes people wonder why the two have not worked together before.
—— "Hollywood Report"
Obviously, this is a film created in accordance with the process of a B-level film. But the joining of two stars made it a promotion.
-"Miami Herald"
actor charm is sometimes the best special effect, and this is exactly what Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington did with "Ssangyong Shots". In a summer full of superhero duds, they brought a dose of coolness.

behind-the-scenes production is
adapted from the comic work
"Double Dragon Shot" This film is adapted from the comic works created by Steven Grant. In the original comics, he created a very complete world, here is There are small towns, big cities, behind-the-scenes black hands, and framed agents. The whole comic is very distinctive, and the setting of the two police officers is also very flavorful. Many people think that Grant's comics have the taste of movies. In fact, since he started writing for Marvel Comics in 1978, Grant has attached great importance to using film techniques and narrative habits to construct his own comics. He said: "I realized the importance of movies early on. I think that a comic work, like a movie, uses pictures and stories to attract readers. Therefore, I got a lot of inspiration from the movie and found A lot of creative skills and creative ideas. I think this is a very important creative way."
This method of absorbing nutrients from the movie made the comic "Ssangyong Shots" the source of the adaptation of the film, and it also allowed the screenwriter and director to easily find ways and means to tell stories from it. The film’s director Batasa Komaku said: “This comic is great, it feels like a crime movie. The character setting, story direction, and climax arrangement are actually exactly the same as the movie. What needs to be done is actually very simple. It is to follow the plot and story arrangements in the comics, fill in the details, follow the requirements of the movie, and reorder the story and tell it again. I think this movie can be shot into one. A B-rated film, or an R-rated film. Because only in this way can the original comics be highlighted. In my opinion, this film about two police officers is very interesting. It should be said that it is not like " A documentary like 48 Hours, but a police film that is more like the "Jedi Men" mixed with explosions, action, comedy and thrillers. "Ssangyong Shots" is actually more complicated and interesting. In this movie, Both undercover agents were framed, and they did not trust each other, and the CIA and ZF behind them were framed up again. There are many classic movie elements in it, and it is a very interesting thing to put them together. "
Walberg's first partner Denzel Washington
in this movie, there are two big-name stars: Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. In a B-rated film, it is very rare for such two big bowls to appear. Prior to this, two such big male names appeared in a B-rated film, or "Rebirth Man" in 2010. The two who appeared there were Jude Law and Forest Whitaker. For his two leading roles, Batasa Komaku is very excited. He said: "It's great, very good. I used to work with Wahlberg and knew he was an outstanding actor. This time Denzel Washington was in the crew, and he was just as good. He was in the crew forever. It's the radiant one, people can recognize him at a glance. It can be said that he is the most special and clearest actor."
It’s the second time that Mark Wahlberg has collaborated with Batasa Comaku. Last time they collaborated on "Prohibited Goods." Wahlberg said: "I and Batasa Comaku have known each other. After a while, our cooperation is still very good, very pleasant, and very easy. What surprised me most is that Denzel Washington also joined this movie. His arrival is very pleasant. He is a very An actor with his own style, he has his own way of acting and skills. It is really a lucky thing to be able to work with him."
Washington obviously has his own ideas for starring in such a movie. He said: "After filming "Flight", I was looking for a different movie to shoot. I wanted to find something unique in this new film, something that I hadn't experienced before. So, I came to the crew of "Ssangyong Shots". Sure enough, this movie did not let me down. In addition to action and police movies, director Batasa Komaku also incorporated a lot of humorous elements into the film, plus There are exaggerations and joking treatments in the original comics. This movie is obviously different from many movies I have made before. This is very exciting. To be honest, working with Wahlberg feels very Well, he is very talented and talented. This is a brother movie, and he and I are in the crew, and we are living like brothers. Before the filming started, I did not go to any drug control bureau to experience life, I think, everything comes naturally, is the best. "
