Not as good as expected, but understandable

Yesterday I was excited to watch "Miami Vice", but I was disappointed. I went for Gong Li and Ke Lin, but the emotional scene between the two, alas, didn't have any passion at all. I felt that Gong Li didn't play to the level she should have, and the lack of change in her expression felt a bit stunned, and the performance lacked tension. Perhaps no suitable expression has been found.
There are also films in which Eastern and Western actors have cooperated successfully. For example, Jackie Chan's "Cutting Moment" series, I like it very much. Compared with the two, there is still a big difference. "The Spike Moment" is a combination of China and the West, that is, the coexistence of two cultures. Although "Memoirs of a Geisha" is also a Hollywood director, it still plays an oriental story. In "Miami Vice", Gong Li, although an oriental face, has to act in a Hollywood way, and must be fully integrated into the creation of Western commercial films. For Gong Li, she is a native Chinese. Unlike Liu Yuling, who only has an oriental appearance and is completely westernized in her bones, it is still very challenging and difficult to show a female drug criminal who grew up under Western ideology.
After my post-view analysis, I forgave the inadequacies in the movie and decided to continue to support Sister Gong Li as always.
