"It's a bit serious and lively, or it's a serious naughty."
"Veteran" is a Korean crime action movie starring Huang Zhengmin and Liu Yaren. Although the word "humor" does not appear in the film introduction, I prefer it. Yu "Veteran" is a comedy action film.
Actually, I'm a little bit behind on this movie. The first thing I saw was the two leading actors. I had seen Huang Zhengmin's "New World" and "International Market" before, and I was looking forward to "Himalaya", while the young Liu Yaren won the 36th South Korea Qinglong with "Sorrow". Award for Best Actor. The two leading actors are reliable, so I think "Veteran" should not be much worse.
Later, when I saw the release time, I was dumbfounded. In South Korea, "Veteran" was released a month earlier than "Si Mourning", and Liu Yaren's proclaiming emperor was a later event. It really reversed the cause and effect without knowing it.
The Taiwanese translation of "Veteran" is called "Spicy Police Detective", and the Hong Kong translation is more direct, called "Second Brothers in the Dry Die", and "Veteran" refers to a person who has experience in something, whether it is a senior or a Detective, that's no novice.
Combining the translated names of Hong Kong and Taiwan and the movie poster, we can see the outline of the film's story, the battle of wits and courage between the old policeman played by Huang Zhengmin and the rich second-generation Liu Yaren. "Old Hand" is somewhat similar to "Old Pao" released in 2015. In "Old Pao", there are racing cars without crashing, and the momentum of swords and arrows. Or did not dare to shoot, in "Veteran", it became a highlight. As for the exposure of the dark side of the upper class, "Veteran" is not like "The Insider" released last year.
It is also a grievance between two generations, "Old Hand" is not "Old Cannon", in the final analysis, it is because the film system is different.
At first, it was lighthearted and humorous and then moved. It can be said that it is a kind of routine in Korean movies. In addition, the car accident in the script helps the terminally ill, and the actors' skills are in place. It really makes the audience laugh and make the audience laugh.
In the movie "Veteran", this is actually the same routine. The first half is lighthearted and humorous, followed by a more serious fight. After "International Market", Wu Dazhu once again partnered with Huang Zhengmin. Anyone who is familiar with this golden supporting role knows that he is as funny as ever.
The classification of "Veteran" as a comedy is not just because of one Wu Dazhu. In the film, the "dry bottom brothers" are racing against time to pursue the rich second generation, and the other side is the "dry bottom team" with a family comedy atmosphere. A bit serious and lively, or serious naughty.
It just ended a bit abruptly.
