The story begins with Wang Bao, the eldest brother of the underworld, killing witnesses and confessing his crime. Chen sir ignores the cancer, and for many years vowed to bring Wang Bao to justice with the team he led. On the eve of the succession of the martial arts master Ma Sir, the struggle between the police and the bandit entered a heated stage. Chen Sir and Ma Sir took Wang Bao for Ji, and made a right and wrong choice between right and wrong.
Is it too exaggerated that the film company's publicity is to reply to the main action films of the golden age of Hong Kong-produced films, supplemented by foreign businessmen rushing to buy them before they are released? If you look at the box office, the first 3 days received more than 2 million, and in terms of 3-level films plus non-popular actors and directors, this kind of promotion is effective. The selling point of "Slaying the Wolf" is the martial arts scene. Since it has the courage to challenge the Hong Kong-made action films of the 1980s and 1990s, the action is certainly not bad. In my younger brother's stupid eyes, I think it is the best action design in the region in recent years. Donnie Yen is a leader in martial arts action design who has stayed in Hong Kong in recent years, and is also an actor who has both skills; plus Sammo Hung, who is over 50 but still agile, there is absolutely no exaggerated publicity. In addition to the very interesting final scene of Hong Zhen, the other action scenes are also brilliant; Wu Jing's crazy killing skills are gorgeous and beautiful. My favorite is the scene in which Sammo Hung played 1 on 5 in the lobby. It came naturally and played neatly and neatly. It was not as brilliant as the deliberate arrangement of the last scene, and it was more comfortable to watch.
The biggest disadvantage of Hong Kong-made action films in the past was that they relied on fighting, and there was no plot, and some were just so-called plots that were unreasonably hyped. "Slaying the Wolf" does not have this shortcoming. Although the story is simple, it also raises questions that make people think: When the police face lawless bad guys, should they deal with them by extraordinary means? Can the police abuse their privileges, even if there are good reasons for it? To the last moment of the movie, there are unexpected changes, which shows that the screenwriter and director did not ignore the plot. But there are also shortcomings, that is, the fate represented by the three people cannot be seen from the plot.
The most ironic thing is that after more than 10 years without overrunning Hong Kong-made martial arts action films, the film and television department actually listed this film as a 3rd grade. To tell the truth, in addition to using more plasma, it is not so violent that it should be listed as level 3, right? Compared with the infiltrating violence of "Underworld", the chilling skills that don't use much blood are really nothing. Moreover, the old Hong Kong-made martial arts action films were all beaten to the core and were not classified as level 3. Does this approach represent the progress of our society, or is it conservative?
