Perhaps because I was too disappointed with the long-awaited "The Cry", I couldn't help but go back and revisit Luo Hongzhen's previous work for solace - "The Yellow Sea" was just reviewed last year and I still remember it. Speaking of which, it has been three and a half years since the last time I watched "The Chaser". The film was very well done, but I couldn't bear to watch it again. Some viewers who only give the film one star are not because of abuse, but because of abuse. Just like those Taobao buyers who give bad reviews to packages that are too strong and hard to open, they prove their quality level from another perspective.
The crippled and incompetent perverts are ruthless and murderous, the faint-hearted and incompetent police officers only care about pleasing their superiors. The whole process was heart-wrenching, as if holding a sigh of relief. After reading it for a long time, I still could not spit it out freely, and I was almost suffocated by the depression.
Luo Hongzhen's unique style has basically been established. Chasing revenge in the dark night in the dimly lit alleys, taking advantage of the iconic terrain of South Korea's rolling slopes to shoot intense chase scenes, has also influenced many subsequent films.
The young man who looks dazed and harmless is actually a cruel and terrifying serial killer. Telling the crime process is an understatement. The two leading actors are very hardworking, regardless of their image, no one will care whether they look good on the camera or not. And some young stars in a certain country are still self-proclaimed as little fresh meat, without the self-cultivation of actors, and they will only pretend to be cool and handsome to attract naive fans to scream when they make movies. They are already destined to be short-lived pop idols, even if their names appear In the cast list, it will never be worthy of the title of actor, "It just tarnishes the word acting!" - Wu Mengdayu.
Meizhen was expected to escape and turn the corner, but the director did not intend to let the audience breathe a sigh of relief. The tragedy that could have been avoided has been staged again. There is nothing more angry and desperate than this. It is bone-chilling and everyone is plunged into boundless darkness.
The combination of the irritable uncle and the stubborn little loli relieved some of the gloomy atmosphere at first, but later deepened the pain.
The scene of staring at the bloody human head is quite shocking, but unfortunately the ending scene is relatively ordinary, not as long-lasting as "Memories of Murder", and it is not worthy of the thrilling 118 minutes before, but this is only Luo Hongzhen's debut, and it is already very remarkable.
In the next episode of "The Yellow Sea", Ha Jung-woo and Kim Yoon-seok exchanged roles and continued to love and kill each other. I hope the trio will work together again~
