A twisted and tangled fate

Still a great story.
It is To Qifeng's consistent style.
There are shadows of "Dark War" and "Very Sudden".
Gu Tianle and Sun Honglei are both acting.
The Hong Kong Seven are definitely coming for black humor.

I didn't like the ending, and even felt disappointed.

Fate is unpredictable, you can never guess the next second.
How could Gu Tianle be executed like that? This doesn't seem like To Qifeng's style. I've been looking forward to a reversal like Gunfire.
Maybe that's an indictment too? Such is the fate of Chinese cinema.

How much I look forward to after the smoke bomb, he can get away with it, that is exciting.
Like "Match Point". In this world, good and evil are reversed, and although there are very few of them, it exists. Good twist. Twist.

    The police borrow money, the gangsters burn money, and the cross-camera is too awesome, leaving a star for another version of the ending.

    Like this kind of film that concentrates on telling stories, Lao Du went a step further on the basis of "Death Gold", abandoning various forms of dazzling skills and focusing on the fate of the characters. The emotions of the characters hidden in the details are intriguing, and the metaphors lurking everywhere make this trip to the north full of possibilities for interpretation. The cruel ending reminds people of the "Inhumane" series. In the "drug war" between Hong Kong and Mainland China, who on earth is poisoning whom?
