Uh, mark it first. John Woo "The Hot Detective"

From the beginning of the shootout scene, I have seen it before, and the whole film is the most exciting. From this film, I can see that John Woo's film story cannot be demanding logic, and the details cannot stand scrutiny. Full of old man's feelings. The highlight is that John Woo is good at setting individual "heroes", and there is the last shootout scene to save the baby. In addition, the film's undercover scene seems to have inspired "Infernal Affairs", but the undercover scene is relatively bad, and it doesn't stand out.

To be specific - the scene in which Tony Leung appeared, the murder scene; the shootout at the beginning; the role of the killer on the side of the biggest villain; three interesting ones. Yep, the soundtrack is pretty good.

    John Woo's romantic and heroic feelings are basically reflected in his films in the 1990s. In fact, Chen Yongren beautifully traveled from Infernal Affairs to Hot Hand Detective. When the boss on the rooftop gave Ah Lang a lighter, I burst into laughter. Wei Tsai said at the end that I am also a policeman, which immediately made me feel that Infernal Affairs was weak.

    When I was young, I felt all kinds of coolness. Going with your mother’s snakeskin, I don’t think King Kong is bad and ignores all kinds of close-up explosions. The pistols all fire cheaters. The infinite bullets hit your head and the guns are dead. of. After more than ten years of rewatching, I realized that Wu Yusen in this film was bloodthirsty and terrible, and the frenzied indiscriminate killing was staggering. Except for the protagonist and the baby, the meaning of the other actors' existence is a pile of dead souls under the gun. Passersby, gangsters, and police officers add up to the death of a mountain. Too much coveting the exaggerated stimulation of visual performance, trampling on humanitarianism with vain and weak personal heroism, and having no sense of reverence for life seriously affected the core expression of the film. Even though the classic icon of Chow Yun-fat (Tequila/Clarinet/Grumpy) and Tony Leung (paper crane/sailing/Iceland), those involuntary and involuntary multiplicity are only on the surface. No matter how hard the finishing touch is, Wei Guangzheng's rescue will only increase the emotional alienation. This will make the audience's blood spurt and kill crazy. This film is more suitable to be defined as a B-level film or a cult film produced by A-level: simple, straightforward, pure and excessive
