Personally, I think this movie is still very good, but it is not suitable for the big screen. The movies you see in the cinema must not calm your heart down. A movie theater is a public place, and it is difficult for people to calm down in a public place. There is no big scene, no big action, and the shock and thrilling of beating the eyeballs are lost, and the two hours of procrastination is a little prolonged, so that many viewers will feel lethargic when watching, and the feeling of suffering is spontaneously and far away. Without the excitement of "Machinist 2" in one go, the ups and downs, so "Xia Detective" is logical and uncomfortable. However, it is not an arbitrary conclusion that this film has no merits. As mentioned earlier, "Xia Detective" is not suitable for a big screen, but it is suitable for a person to watch quietly. "Xia Detective" does not have a commercial atmosphere. It's too thick, it provides a lot of things for aftertaste and chewing, and these things are not something that can be grabbed by watching the movie in a rush in the theater.
First, the chivalry of the United States. Compared with the "heroes" proclaimed in many Hollywood blockbusters as superheroes who save the world at every turn, the "chivalrous spirit" in "The Detective" has to come closer to real life. The protagonist, Jack, does the innate and glorious mission of "the great man": eradicating rape and eliminating evil, and supporting justice. From the beginning of his appearance, Jack single-handedly solved a “police corruption smuggling case” with a single-handed calmness. The protagonist’s glory was instantly reversed in embarrassment. The initial setting is amazing and has a Sherlock flavor. . However, Holmes focuses on "exploration", while Jack focuses on "xia". Holmes regards investigating the crime as his own life's joyful interest, but Jack regards the heroic justice as his mission of never looking back. When the hostess asked Jack why he chose to retire instead of staying in the army, Jack replied "because I don't like wearing uniforms." Although this sentence is an unintentional arrow, it reveals a particularly crucial message, that is: the state apparatus is in danger of deterioration. This also laid the groundwork for the follow-up plot of the film's sword pointing to the corruption of the army.
This is actually a very shocking case: a four-star general resells opium and arms because of greed! This kind of terrible corruption may be difficult for other countries except the United States, which has a higher degree of political freedom.
Based on this, I think we should also applaud the director for his courage. Having said that, who has the courage to bring down a powerful general? Insiders were brutally suppressed, witnesses were either expelled or exterminated, and the film also showed us the general's brutality and brutality. This film may seem complicated, but in fact, after layering layers of cocoons, we will discover that this is a life-and-death contest between justice and evil. Jack represents the ubiquitous visualization of justice, and the general represents the pervasiveness and stubbornness of the devil in broad daylight. Jack is like a sharp sword to pry open the corrupt inner shell from the outside, and Jack's civilian free status after retiring also reflects the director's thoughts and suggestions on how to punish the corruption of the US national army-external supervision is always better than opaque Internal audit. But how to effectively and fairly supervise the outside world is another big issue that needs to be discussed. But in any case, the United States also needs chivalry. Unlike the Chinese martial arts who "see injustice and draw their swords to help each other", Jack-style martial arts have always been a right-hand man to help Yusi. .
Second, the hero's choice of family issues. It is obviously biased to think of Jack as a lonely hero like a prodigal son. Because Jack is not Chu Liuxiang, he definitely won't be merciful and suave. The film gave this lone hero a moving sense of responsibility and mission, and the care and protection of his daughter was warm and touching. Father-daughter love is the softest tone in the entire film. When his daughter asks Jack "Are you alone?" Jack answers "Sometimes." In fact, Jack lied, because being a hero will make many enemies. The best way to protect your family is to travel around the world and never look back!
