Two male gods

Chow Yun-fat is arguably the most representative actor in Hong Kong movies. Tony Leung is the male god I have liked since I was a child. His melancholy eyes are as deep as the sea, and he doesn't need words, just one look is full of amorous feelings. The films that these two people collaborated on are rare, let's put aside the plot first, just these two people in the same frame is enough for people to reminisce for a long time. In Hong Kong films, the themes of brotherhood and adversity often involve life and death. The more sad and the more unforgettable. Liang Chaowei looked back for a moment, everything was frozen and became a classic.

    The master of Wu Yusen’s works, bullets fly wild, bloody flesh and blood, and the three-minute long shot of one hour and forty minutes is also irritating. Wu Yusen’s villains are always a pure symbol of evil, compared with the later good and evil in the police film. In Wu Yusen's film, there is only the sympathy between good and evil and the sword of heroes.

    Personal evaluation: 87/100 John Woo's last work in Hong Kong is very crazy. It really achieves high energy throughout the whole process, and the damage effects of various shots or bullets are among the most powerful in Wu's shootout films. Every weapon can play a higher level of destructive power. Although it is exaggerated, it is very enjoyable. I personally like the combination of Fage Viazai very much. The former seems to be possessed by Xiaoma Xiaozhuang and Ken has such a strong fighting power, while the latter is like Chen Yongren's prototype, black and white. Huang Qiusheng's villain is also really perverted. The shootout in the teahouse reflects the explosive power of this film. Although the brotherhood of the plot is weaker, the infinite cult of bullets is obviously enhanced. The warehouse battle is really a halo, and the 50-minute hospital battle is a real urban battle, full of holes and romantic. The explosion at the end is one of the most spectacular Wu films. The various long-shot sets are very innovative and difficult. Overall, I personally feel that this is John Woo's most popular work. Although the depth and breadth may not be as strong as the previous works, it is the pinnacle of Hong Kong films no matter what level.
