Not your average sequel

There are always so many sequels of "dog-tailed mink" in the world, because there are too many, it is common for the sequels to be bad. Considering that the script of "Infernal Affairs I" has already made people stunned, so I took advantage of the heat to create a "not so bad". The sequel to "Passable" is not difficult.

It's just that I didn't expect that Liu Weiqiang + Zhuang Wenqiang + Mak Zhaohui created a sequel that is enough to match the first episode; just from the book, this one does not focus on skills like the previous work, but more embodies the depth. Although there is no Andy Lau and Tony Leung, Shawn Yue and Edison Chen still completed their tasks very well, and Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng are indeed the real protagonists of this sequel, but they were all robbed by Wu Zhenyu.

This II, the most impressive is Wu Zhenyu. Considering that Wu Zhenyu has played such a role more than once, I just didn't expect his performance this time to completely surpass the previous similar roles. Wu Zhenyu is characterized by his neurotic performances. The more calm he is, the more frantic he is, and the more frantic he is, he is very calm and often has unexpected performances. This time, Wu Zhenyu endured until the last to draw his gun, and finally ended his fate when he could no longer bear it. This in itself can be regarded as an interpretation of the Infernal Affairs.

Han Chen, played by Zeng Zhiwei, has gradually grown from an obedient little brother to a big boss. This series of changes has been vividly reflected in this film. Especially at the last dinner party, when I recalled my deceased wife alone, the two lines of sadness and tears were reflected in the bright fireworks; and when I turned around, I wanted to have a drink with the guests. The pain of various changes can only be hidden in my heart.

Endure until the end, and you can be the boss; if you can't bear it, your destiny ends. In this changing world, perhaps only those who believe in the impermanence of fate and do well in the world can survive for a long time.

    The second is a very well done simplified version of the gangster story.
