Hei Xia is a forced film by Xiang Hua. Li Rengang directed a police and bandit film in the 1990s starring Jet Li, Liu Qingyun and Karen Mok. One of the major features of the film is its strong heroism. In terms of shooting techniques, although the shooting skills and special effects techniques are a bit rough, it still has the most original taste of Hong Kong, and for police and gangster films, Black Man is more like a police and gangster film in the traditional sense, so I say It can be regarded as a new attempt.

Leaving aside the technology to look at the story, it is a very traditional storyline. Xu Xi, starring Jet Li, is an instructor of the secret organization Unit 701. The members of the organization have been specially modified by the top, which can exceed the limit of the human body. Eighty potential, and can cut off the pain in the body. Later, because of a mission, the superiors carried out a removal plan for the members of the organization. The instructor risked his own life to save some members of the army. After escaping, he pretended to be an ordinary person and lived an ordinary life in Hong Kong. Inside, Xu Xi, who wanted to be an ordinary person, happened to help her only good friend, Inspector Shi, to solve the case and was recognized by the members of the original army.

After reading this story, the biggest education the protagonist gave me was that "the world does not advocate the use of violence to change, but it has to use fists to promote peace."

Therefore, the theme of this film is not prominent, nor is it important. The important thing is to feast the eyes of the audience, and there are two big stars, Li Lianjie and Liu Qingyun, to help out. Personally, just be happy.

If I were to evaluate it, I might only give a barely passing score of 2.8.
