"Stalker" and "Watcher"

The online rating of the Korean film "Monitor" is higher than that of the Hong Kong film "Stalking". Personally, the public's eyes are just a bunch of onlookers who don't know the truth. My assessment is quite the opposite.
1. The scenes and technology of "Monitor" are better than "Tracking", I admit it, but considering the remake of the former, and "Tracking" is already a very old film.
2. Although the scene in "Tracking" is not large, it has a strong sense of control and space, and the tracking is very clear and interesting. This is beyond the reach of The Watcher.
3. The portrayal of characters in "Tracking" is better than that of "Monitor", especially the pig girl (the nickname is really a bright spot), she is not beautiful and dull, which is in line with the requirements of the characters in the play. The heroine of "The Watcher" is too beautiful, which is a failure in this movie. Although I also love to see beautiful women. And the villain in the play is too cool and handsome, and the human touch is too light.
4. Several short passages in "Tracking" are very classic, but unfortunately "Monitor" only copied the outline and removed the highlights. Such as: the captain tells jokes, with obvious Hong Kong style, especially the last one; the culprit in the kidnapping case is ** (to prevent spoilers), this setting is very dark and very good; I also learned the film, but I didn't have that style.

One-sentence comment: "Tracking" has a unique flavor of Hong Kong films (it feels like the style of Galaxy Mapping), I watched it half a year ago. You can take a look when you are free. "Monitor" is completely a commercial film, you can watch it if you are idle.
