It would be a stretch to say that the plot is outstanding or in place in this film. Anyway, Hong Kong martial arts genre films have always paid little attention to this aspect, and their selling points will always focus on violent and bloody fighting scenes. So the plot of "Fuse" is nothing more than some consistent police and bandit lines plus a little "philosophy" of Hong Kong-style civilian life (that is, the dialogue in the play often speaks a sentence or two of "Hong Kong dialect" that seems reasonable, intentionally or unintentionally).

This time, Donnie Yen and the director pursued the realism as much as possible in the martial arts design and scene paragraphs, avoiding the usual Hong Kong-style action close-ups that inevitably added some "nirvana skills" or emphasized some exaggerated superman-style cartoons. action". This is the biggest success of
I think this is the collaboration between Donnie Yen and Weixin Yip that they have finally found their own style pattern. I hope they can continue to seek breakthroughs on a more pragmatic basis in their lower works, and never go back to those Hong Kong-style comic-style martial arts dramas. Okay....
