'The New Police Story': A Very Amateur Movie

Nolan 2022-03-20 09:02:57

I didn't see any publicity about it at first. When my colleague asked me to go to the cinema to watch this film, I thought it was Jackie Chan. It should be about a police and bandit drama. I could hear a few gunshots, so I went. This kind of shit made me go to the toilet the first time I watched a movie in my life.
If it is mainly funny and intended to exaggerate the plot, like "BAD BOY 2", that's all. But there are so many places in the movie. . . Too amateurish, too insincere, should I take it as a complete comedy? Thanks to Jackie Chan acting so hard, kowtow and kneeling, and sobbing, I still dare not take it as a complete comedy. But the more I was moved by Jackie Chan's seriousness, the more I felt that many amateur aspects of the movie were so unsightly. "The Big Event", which is also a Hong Kong production, is much better than it, at least it's a lot more professional.

One, wait for the police to come. Don't leave after stealing the money, waiting to stop the police. There are no such powerful bandits in the world except Iraq and Chechnya. Moreover, it seems that these bandits never have to think about time, and they don't have to worry about the way back after they calmly clean up the police, because they know that these police never know how to block the scene, and when Jackie Chan led his team into the training building to catch the gangsters, he didn't block the scene. This is basic common sense. Remember Pirates of Fire? While still in the police car on the road, the officer behind Al Pacino had already ordered me on the walkie-talkie which block to block, only to be stopped as soon as Robert De Niro and the others were sitting in a black Lincoln.

Second, the police slaughterhouse. In an ambush led by Jackie Chan, the bandits calmly executed nine police officers, my God, nine! In any place with the rule of law in the world, it is an absolutely sensational event, and in the movie, including the gun battle on the street at the beginning, dozens of police officers were killed several times. How can the Hong Kong government mess with it? Is this Baghdad? In this case, don't you ask for the dispatch of the People's Liberation Army in Hong Kong? In the movie, Jackie Chan also made a bet with another high-ranking police officer like a child who would solve the case first and the other would not be a police officer. Compared with another Hong Kong film "The Big Incident", the street shootout in which only two or three policemen were killed or injured has caused uproar in Hong Kong, and the police have been dispatched in droves.

Third, protect the police. When the bandits finally occupied the exhibition center, when Jackie Chan and Nicholas Tse arrived, in order to reduce casualties, Jackie Chan asked Xie and Ah Sa to find a way to stop the police from coming. I. . . I really have nothing to say. When did the police become a giant panda being a protected animal? When people's lives are in danger, they even tell the police not to come over? Compared with the discussion of a surrendered policeman in "The Big Event", the scene here is really exaggerated.

Fourth, the pistol is king. When the gangsters committed the crime for the first time, they showed their strong firepower in the face of the police who came over. They hit the police car full of bullet holes at a distance of about 200 meters. I saw M4, G3, SteyrAUG, and one should be FAMAS. , and a shotgun, it can be said that the famous guns all appeared. However, when Jackie Chan led his team into the training building to capture the gangsters, he knew that the gangsters had automatic rifles, but all of them had pistols, and only one or two people had shotguns, alas. . . But this spirit is still worth learning. In "The Big Event", although the gangsters have AK47s, Zhang Jiahui's group and the later SDU (Hong Kong Police "Flying Tigers", heavy equipment units) have MP5s, so although the power is weaker, the overall firepower is not different. Too much, and in this film, all pistols against all automatic rifles? In the film, Jackie Chan said that he doesn't need to look for SDU, but can he decide whether to use SDU or not?

There are still many places that are not listed one by one. BTW, another problem is that some places in the movie are purely stunts, as if the money is too much and I don't know how to spend it. For example, the double-decker bus ran out of control into the commercial street, and took the trouble to show how countless glass was smashed and how countless signboard light boxes were scraped off. Comparing "The Matrix 2" and "BAD BOY2", the speeding scene in it is also very luxurious, but after all, it is a fight between good and bad people, and does the large number of destruction scenes here have anything to do with the main line of the story?

This kind of movie can only make girls feel exciting and fun. As for the male compatriots who have a little experience in gunfight movies, I suggest not to watch it. If you have watched Rogue and Ronin, you will feel that this movie is an insult to the audience. wisdom. "The Big Event" is also good, although in the initial shootout in the alley, the hoods of several cars in the hail of bullets are full of bullet holes, while the front windshield is unscathed.
