Movie Time | "Extreme Profession" thought it was suspense, but it was actually a comedy

Taking advantage of the holiday, I finally watched a few movies that I had stockpiled before.

This "Extreme Profession" won the box office champion of the Spring Festival when it was released in South Korea in 2019, and is said to have broken the record.

The story is probably:

Five anti-drug police officers were tracking a big criminal D. For the convenience of tracking, they ordered the fried chicken shop opposite the criminal D's den.

As a result, the fried chicken shop that was originally transferred because there were no customers turned into an "Internet celebrity shop", which was not only overcrowded, but also in short supply.

It was not easy for D to make an appearance, and I missed it because the store was too busy.

After a few people's reflections, this can't be done. We are here to handle the case, not really to open a store.

Therefore, the price of fried chicken is increased and purchase is restricted.

However, it backfired. Fried chicken, which is a consumer product for the poor in South Korea, was rated as "Emperor Fried Chicken", and it became a check-in point for high-end Japanese tour groups.

At the same time, the business of the store is too hot, and the D prisoner on the opposite side is worried that there will be too many people, so he actually moved out?

The five people who heard the news were dumbfounded. Before they had time to think about the next step, they were told by their superiors: You have been suspended.

A man with eyes came to the fried chicken shop with a box of cash and said he wanted to join.

At this time, a sentence should be said: no pie will fall from the sky.

This man with eyes is none other than the "sales" of the opposite party D. Seeing that the fried chicken shop is booming and can also deliver take-out, he uses "take-out" to build his own sales network.

Of course, this is not known from the beginning, this is the "criminal investigation" part of the movie.

It is really suitable for watching on vacation. As a comedy, the connection of burdens is very natural.

The point of laughter is in the lines. Watching them quarrel, talk, and handle cases, they always come up with such a sentence inadvertently. You don't know whether they are being silly or clever.

And another highlight of the movie is that the editing of the transitional plot is very streamlined, and the explanation is completed in a few shots.

for example:

5 people squatted for a week, and I took 3 pictures of the boss serving fried chicken to a table of people. 3 times, all 5 people were sitting still, and the boss came over. The only difference is the "time", which can be seen from the light. . But after editing, we directly see "the boss goes from day to night".

There are also several shots of explaining that drug dealers use "branch stores" for distribution: waterproof packaging, putting in sauce bottles, packaging, and transportation... You don't even need lines, but it makes people feel "clearly explained".

Of course, the core is still comedy, so the criminal investigation and suspense parts will be a little weaker, and some plots don't need to be too real.

Finally, hesitant that fried chicken has a high appearance rate, you can order one first and watch it while you eat~

    4.5/5 South Korea’s best cop comedy in recent years! It’s not an exaggeration to laugh from the beginning to the end. Although the editing of the play is still a bit messy, the laugh point of the whole film can be said to be quite clever. One is here and the third is playing with the existing formula of the action film, no wonder South Korea has watched tens of millions in a short period of time, and the annual stress relief comedy is correct. In the end, it steals the episode of the heroic character, thinking I can’t hear it?

    Originally, I was thinking about who invested more in Shaxian, Lanzhou Ramen, Braised Chicken Rice, Meituan, Baidu, and I’m hungry who paid the entire remake. Later, I discovered that "one chicken, two food" had already been filmed. No wonder the lobster detective rushed to the street because barbecue is king.
