Although the plot is extremely simple, the theme is clear.
The most beautiful thing is the design of the martial arts action, which really took a lot of effort. At the beginning of the movie, the shot of Leito jumping through the window gives a stunning feeling. Jackie Chan also had such action designs during his years, but his figure and fighting scenes were far less good-looking. Jackie Chan still focused on his funny actions.
A very popular extreme sport appeared in the movie, that is parkour. As soon as leito appeared on the stage, it was a series of running and turning over the house, giving people an overwhelming visual shock. This is the biggest highlight of the film.
Looking at such a fast-paced action effect, I remembered Wu Jing's action in "Slaying the Wolf", which was quite impressive. I just don't understand why domestic martial arts stars can only become popular when they reach the age of immobility? Donnie Yen is an example. Although he has been famous for several years, the real popularity is still in the past few years. Wu Jing is also the same. From the fame of "The Master of Tai Chi" to the present, there are not many movies that can really come out. Why not let these martial arts stars who are fighting in their years have more action giants? Do you have to wait until they have been famous for a long time and have some appeal at the box office and are too old to beat before giving them a chance? Just like when Donnie Yen was filming "Dragon Tiger Gate", a reporter asked Nicholas Tse whether he used a stand-in for three consecutive kicks in the air. Donnie Yen said that he could not use a stand-in when he was young. "Then what did you do when you were young?" The reason is very simple, no one gave a chance.
Hopefully our action movies will get better and better. Wu Jing, come on!
