Film reviews should be written in time

This is the first time I saw which director made a wartime spy film so dreamy. Gong Yoo's suit was straight and he went to that station. You can take screenshots of each scene to enjoy it for a long time. But what's wonderful is that the director did not shoot the story of a successful hero. Although the final explosion happened, the frontal characters died and were caught. It turns out that history is not entirely supported by big events and big figures. The slow rhythm of the film is in contrast to Song Kanghao's tense and repeated psychological descriptions. Song's performance can't be described vividly. It is almost impossible to guess what choices he will make every time, but he looks so bad after each choice. Reasonable and justifiable; another character Hashimoto is also very dazzling, with aura, voice and appearance, standing next to Kong Yoo is not inferior. People like to compare this movie to The Assassination, but this is a war movie with a completely different feel to The Assassination. I checked the director Jin Zhiyun, and it turned out that he also directed "Seeing the Devil" and "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys", no wonder he was able to move Lee Byung-hun and Song Kang-ho. (Speaking of this, I think of "Incheon Landing Operation" again, and there are so many big names playing soy sauce.) After all, good movies come from good actors, and they have to pick good directors. I didn't have much expectations for "Asura" at the beginning (that's weird), Huang Zhengmin has been playing similar roles recently, and Zheng Yucheng's level of film selection has fluctuated up and down, but Zheng Yucheng has also acted in several good films under director Jin Chengxiu. , ah, anyway, thanks for days like this, there are still movies to watch every week.
