It's not nervous enough, and the characters in the play are thin on the white immature conflict, which is very different from "Cold War" and even the Japanese drama "BOSS".
The gangster's cooking and the police's response are too different from the atmosphere of the whole film, which is absurd.
Therefore, even if Director Du uses various means (especially camera and music) to innovate, he cannot hide the paleness of the play (the core).
In terms of time, after all, the information media was developing rapidly in 2004 and had a certain vision, but today it is a little naive, so it also proves that the theme of this film is not permanent. The film has many perspectives and groups of characters, none of which can be moved or shaped successfully - in short, the net is too big and the fish you want to catch are missed.
In the final analysis, it is still lack of strength. If the police are all powerful, like the tiger and leopard bullies in American Westerns, these "big incidents" will naturally not happen again. That's what I understand the creators want to express.
