It would be great if this film could feel like a cult.

A martial arts idiot, with martial arts as the purpose of killing skills, single-handedly challenge the world's heroes.
In ancient times, it would definitely be a heart-warming story about a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
But what about modern times? All corners of the world have become mentally disturbed serial killers, heroes have become prisoners, and masters with deep-rooted skills have been hiding in the streets.
What a cult story! Plus Hong Kong-style martial arts! From photography to soundtrack, throw a few streets of domestic films in the same period! But it was filmed blandly, I can only say that it is the director's problem. In fact, it is not difficult to see the director's serious attitude and feelings in this film, but sometimes telling a story really requires talent... At the
beginning of the film, there are five stages of Qin Opera and our Mongolian Khumai, which is amazing. But then came the beginning of the most unbearable Hong Kong movie, and gave me one at once: Three years later, the police officers who came to the scene of the crime were introducing each other.
I go,,, more than 10,000 Hong Kong films have started like this? So uncreative. It’s been a long time since I watched a Hong Kong-style martial arts movie. If you want to be cool, you have to get straight to the point. It’s better to play the hero’s chivalry in prison; it’s still a suspenseful flashback to the murder scene.

I just don't want to see Donnie Yen at the beginning of the introduction of Sir to each other. I won't go into details.

What amazes me the most is Wang Baoqiang. This actor has such an obvious style, yet he acts like what he does. From Sanduo, Shigen, Baobao to Feng Yuxiu, they have something in common, but they can't see Wang Baoqiang at all, remember All characters. I don't think he's fired up for nothing. You see the calluses on his hands, the sullenness in his eyes, and he limps out. I think this person is a natural actor, and he has drama in his bones.

It's a pity that the arrangement of the play is not enjoyable, and the feeling of gradual progress is not strong and incoherent. Although the final duel stopped and stopped on the road with turbulent traffic, the helplessness shown was quite good. There is nothing wrong with interspersed emotional scenes.
But she is always interrupted by the wooden-faced policewoman with a dull expression and a clumsy IQ. I know this is because of the foreshadowing, so Caini Yang has more scenes, but if she is just a little policewoman with a low sense of presence, the end of the climax will not be More conflict and drama?

So, director, you are wasting resources. You want to play with feelings, you want to pay tribute, then you let go of your hands and feet and play boldly. Fighting as much as you like, laughing at the helplessness of modern martial arts, and showing the struggle between human and animal nature, wouldn't it be fun?

Alas... It would be great if this script fell into Tsui Hark's hands and Quentin's hands.

I really want to see a cool Hong Kong-style martial arts movie.
