This killer is cold, but the story is realistic

"Borrowing a Knife to Kill" starring Tom and Power Bank, in the first few minutes of watching, I didn't know what the movie was doing. It only reflected the simple and ordinary urban life, which was completely inconsistent with an action movie fan's passion for action movies. And the bloody anticipation, I almost couldn't watch it anymore. But as a fan of Tom, I am still full of curiosity in the face of a villain movie that Tom seldom acts in after all. If you think about it, let’s continue to watch it. Maybe we will start an “action movie” after a while. The score is also good, there should be a good reason, I haven't found the essence of this movie yet. So, it was finally time to start a shootout, but I didn't see a single shot, and the first person hung up; then the second and third "obscure" hung up one after another. Is this an action movie? It is suspenseful. There is nothing suspenseful about the film. The plan to kill with a knife is naked in front of the audience, and there is nothing to guess and burn. However, with the development of the plot, the essence of the film is gradually reflected. The fighting is still surprisingly bland, with no skills, no pretence, and straightforward description. However, it is becoming more and more obvious that this is a very thoughtful film. The film uses the change of the forced writing and collaborative relationship between the killer and the driver as the main line, and through the dialogue between the two, tells the audience: the killer Very indifferent, without humanity, what is human nature, what is the definition of human nature; because the killer is too cold, so he has no humanity, which inversely deduces that one of the characteristics that we think human nature should have is "care" , But in the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles, how many people have achieved "care", Tom said: "A person who dies on the subway will be found 6 hours later." Is this what we call human nature? Think about yourself sitting on the subway, the person next to you is dead, but you don't know it, or you don't care whether the person next to you is dead or alive, everyone is dealing with their own mess, as for the subway seat Who is sitting next to him, what is he doing, and what does it have to do with him, he can't take care of his own affairs. Is this what we call human nature? If so, what reason do we have to criticize this killer for being too indifferent and inhumane, just laughing at a hundred steps. This is the status quo of the metropolis; this is the status quo of human nature; "care" in our time is a dinner that the rich cannot afford.

    I generally don’t have much interest in the beautiful TOM movies, but he in this movie really suits my appetite, handsome and charming.

    City lights, guns fire. Leng Yi is lonely against the killer. The lines are alert and wise. Even Tom's gray hair is as "Michael Mann" as Robert De Niro coincidentally.

Collateral quotes

  • Fanning: [cops are in alley outside Ramon's apartment] Ramon went through that window... splat. Glass here, then tires rolled over it.

    Richard Weidner: Maybe he jumped.

    Fanning: Sure... he's depressed so he jumps four stories out of a window onto his head. "Wow, that feels better." Picks himself up. "Now I think I'll go on with the rest of my day."

  • Daniel: I mean, everybody and their momma knew you don't just come up and talk to Miles Davis. I mean, he may have looked like he was chilling, but he was absorbed. This one hip couple, one of them tried to shake his hand one day. And the guy says, "Hi, my name is..." Miles said, "Get the fuck outta my face, you jive motherfucker, and take your silly bitch with you."
