    The gun battle scene was bloody, with John Woo's usual style of flowing water. After reading it, I realized that Fa Ge is not the first male lead, but Dillon. But the image of Brother Xiao Ma is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart. The part of going to take revenge for Brother Hao by himself was really stylish, but unfortunately he was lame later. The plot can only be said to be naive. Compared with HK's current underworld movies with high IQs, it's simply pediatric, and can't stand scrutiny at all.
