Starting from "Drug War", Hong Kong's co-production of police and gangster films began to break some unspeakable shackles and face the process of drug use, anal drug delivery, and euthanasia. In "Mekong River", the hostages were killed, their stumps and flesh and blood, the family members of the anti-narcotics police were poisoned, the child soldiers, and the constant connection between the government of a certain country and the drugs was shown in front of the audience.
The script of this film is directly approved by the Public Security Bureau, and the Radio, Film and Television Bureau has no authority to review it.
For that alone I think anyone deserves a visit to the cinema.
For Lin Chaoxian, "Mekong River" is really an ice-breaking work of the ontology, just as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is for Tsui Hark. Or, in a slightly inappropriate example, the same "Gone Girl" was for David Fincher.
You think that this director has such characteristics, such ability, and such shape, and after that, most of them are going back to the old ways. However, he has developed another talent and another vision through his ice-breaking work, which is shocking. Really happy.
I hope that Lin Chaoxian can really understand what kind of action movies fans need through the word of mouth of "Mekong River". Fire it up.
