The Korean movie "Top Secret Tracking", as a police and bandit film remake of "Stalking" in Hong Kong in 2007, not only absorbs the shortcomings of the previous work in terms of the completion of the plot, but also is more excellent. Korean films are used to delicate portrayals and shots of characters. The feeling is also commendable. In recent years, many Korean movies that have pursued the doctrine of borrowing have indeed done better in some aspects.



The overall structure of the film has not changed much compared to the previous film. It is still guided by the little-known police surveillance team that is hidden in the city. The robbery of the robbers spreads the plot, and the tracking and anti-tracking of the high-IQ duel show the tension. Moved this battlefield to South Korea, lost the Hong Kong flavor and followed Han Fan with the word "top secret". Although it feels a little out of place, the Korean movie presents a more outstanding style, whether it is a racing car chase or a bloodbath. No matter the gunfight, although Hong Kong movies can do it better than today’s movies, even better than South Korea’s, but the control of the camera sense is not as easy as the Korean movies, and it also has the use of artistic atmosphere close-up shots. It has always been the magic weapon of Korean movies, and some scenes of Hong Kong movies, which are limited to one corner of the scene in terms of scene scheduling, are also difficult to be perfect. This is also one of the crux of the golden age of Hong Kong movies today. this deficiency.



In the early years, I was deeply disapproving of Korean films, but today compared to the handful of outstanding Chinese films every year, Korean films are a hundred flowers blooming, and excellent films are frequently published. The fundamental reason is that Korean films really understand how to stand on the giants On the shoulders, direct copying also requires skills. The first one that gave me this impression was the 10-year-old Korean movie "Uncle", which is similar to the French classic movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" in terms of style and plot. "Coincidentally, although I spit out this kind of "bringing" approach, but I have to admit that it is a classic, and it is reasonable to integrate Han Fan style elements into the film to make a makeover and fill in the content. To make it truly my own work, from this point of view, "Top Secret Tracking" is about 20 minutes longer than "Tracking", but it is not sloppy at all. On the contrary, the consolidation of the plot gives people a more With an excellent sense of suspense, it can only be said that the use of Korean films has also formed a unique art like its plastic surgery.



At the end of the movie, Ren Dahua appeared in friendship, paying homage to the original work and at the same time burying the possibility of a sequel. The Korean version of "Top Secret Tracking" looks almost perfect at first glance, but it is still a remake. Although the plot is tight, it is difficult to see new ideas. , less of the authentic taste of the Hong Kong market in the original work, no matter how delicate the picture is, it can't imitate the charm in the bones.
