Gloomy, oppressive, bloody, and fateful, these non-mainstream elements are generally highlighted in B-level films. Those who are familiar with Zheng Baorui's films will know that these are the killers of the director since his debut, especially in "Dog Eats Dog", The director has combined his own distinctive style with a commercial film. This time, his personal style has been restrained, and his narrative ambition has become greater. Of course, this time the film's commercial features are also more prominent. Among the homogenized commercial films, "Slaying the Wolf 2" easily stood out and opened a large distance.
I like the performances of the central characters. In an extremely depressing stage environment, the actors' performance skills are fully exposed. The stars such as Wu Jing and Thai actors seem to be brave and unintentional, while the powerful actors Ren Dahua and Gu Tianle bring the vitality of the characters to life, especially It is a direct rivalry between the two, which makes people have to applaud. I must mention Zhang Jin, the warden's actor. I am extremely unfamiliar with this actor, but his performance naturally forms a tension. Many details are handled very well. The dignified and calm surface and the brutal and brutal heart are the tension. The source of the movie, I learned later that this one was also born as a Wuda star, but in the rival scene, Wu Jing was left behind a few streets, perhaps his wife Cai Shaofen played a role.
This time I also have to stand up and say, Gu Zai is far from the little white face when he debuted. This time his performance is definitely at the level of a movie star, which I enjoyed watching it very much. There is an unwritten rule for winning the Hong Kong Film Awards. Handsome guys and beauties must be ugly in order to win awards, and the audience can go out of their looks to appreciate their acting skills. Therefore, Gu Zai must be disfigured. The mask is used here. This prop is also used by Gu Zai. When to wear it and take it out. The character in the play is a big villain, but also a poor sick person. He survived the illness and built his own sinful business empire. He struggled and mutated between survival and morality, survival and family affection, so he had With rich heart and eyes, it is recommended that everyone can bring Gu Zai's scenes to see, especially the rival scene with another actor, Ren Dahua.
At the beginning of the film, you can feel the director's super-powerful ability to control the crime, and the editing is very comfortable, making the entire crime process as efficient and skilled as a product assembly line. In the two star-playing dramas, the final fight is more streamlined, not particularly brilliant or boring, but the stair fight scene where the knife killer kills the police officers is somewhat creative. Emotional scenes are still the director's weakness, and they are relatively unfamiliar and immature to handle. In fact, the biggest thing to watch is the performances of several actors in this game. One of the biggest flaws is the choice of Gu Tianle's younger brother actor. Regardless of the face shape and body shape, it makes people feel too detached.
Crime is a heart-wrenching process, and the wolves in police and gangster films are worth watching.
