In my humble opinion, even if it is an action movie, with different actors and plots and different viewing needs, there are considerable differences in what is shot: Action actors who are good at fighting should not be too harsh on their acting skills. Accuracy; and under the premise that the action scenes are not very popular, the narration of the story and the adjustment of the plot are particularly important. For example, in the "Fist Fighter" series, while lamenting Tony Jia's boxing skills, he also complained about his face that was paralyzed for thousands of years? Conversely, in "Yellow Sea", just because of the pig bone war, can we praise this as a good crime action movie without any pressure? Admittedly, that scene is no less classic than the long-shot street fight in "Old Boy." But without Ha Jung Woo and Kim Yoon Suk's ingenious performances and the director's control over the entire plot, how could it have won the favor of the judges of the Baeksang Arts Awards in Korea?
Back to this film, the whole film is 150 minutes in total, which is more than half an hour longer than the first film (basically used to pave the way for the story). The fighting scene has also been expanded from the previous building to: prison, ktv, street, bus and many other locations. It can be clearly felt that the producer has more abundant funds in the production of the sequel, which has significantly improved the scenes, props, special effects, and sound effects, and the fighting scenes are also more enjoyable to watch. Knife and knife see blood, fist to flesh, cold weapons and guns are used interchangeably, and Uwais's excellent martial arts skills are the classics of the previous one. What makes people shine is the addition of many distinctive characters: just for the family The tramp, the loyal Paul, the rather romantic dumb girl and the baseball boy make the whole show less pale and dim.
