Some people say that this film is Wu Yusen’s first masterpiece like Hollywood’s announcement, so it seems that many of the plots, bridges, etc. in "Hot Detective" can be compared with his previous series of movies. The
most impressive thing is that I am personally impressed . A Lang's intense depression in the process of killing Uncle Hai, the tight face, the tears in his eyes, the anger and emotional excitement revealed in it, can all be the same as that in where Boy B was forced to shoot and kill the American soldier and A Rongshi’s emotions corresponded.
Second, Chow Yun-fat was in danger but still talking and laughing. Naturally, he was not in the period of "Little Ma", but the kind of humor and unruly in the world. However, in When faced with a friend being killed and his boss distrusting him, the angry man is more like a mixture of Xiao Ma and Xiao Zhuang with a little bloody Teculia.
There are also scenes that are full of Wu-style metaphors. For example, A Lang's. Home is on the boat, and his loneliness against the sea when he often goes out to sea. The paper cranes are like telling his endless loneliness.
There are many more. In general, this is a very Wu Yusen movie. Movie, it is worth remembering it.
