Earthlings have been unable to stop the forward momentum of Korean crime action films, from "Old Boys" to "Memories of Killing" to "New World", along the way, Korean movies have become the mainstay of Asian movies, when we are still immersed in the box office miracle of "Wolf Warrior 2" 5.6 billion, the Korean movie "Sweatless Party" let me see that to tell a good story plot, we really have a long way to go.
"No Sweat Party: The World of Bad Guys" is written and directed by Bian Sung-hyun, starring Xue Jingqiu, Ren Shiquan, Kim Hee-won, Jeon Hye-jin, Lee Jung-young and so on. The title of "The Sweatless Party" refers to the leper, the rogue man.
Sweatless: The World of Bad Guys received attention for its participation in the midnight screening section of the Cannes International Film Festival, which stood out because it broke through the simple good and evil structure of gangster movies, so it should not be classified as a simple gangster struggle movie. Through the plot, the film deeply explores the problem of "trust" between people and reflects on human nature. (Ohmynews Review)
In order to eliminate The Gao Bingzhe drug trafficking syndicate in one fell swoop, the anti-narcotics team led by Captain Qian, a strong woman, drew up a plan: Zhao Xianxiu, a newcomer, was assigned to go undercover in prison, gained the trust of Han Zaihu, the second-in-command who was still in prison, and successively infiltrated the drug trafficking syndicate and then annihilated the drug trafficking syndicate in one fell swoop.
Zhao Xianxiu refused at the beginning, although he was a new member of the police force, but the danger of this task was still known. Captain Qian gave him conditions: to help Zhao Xianxiu's mother, who suffered from uremia, find a new kidney, and the cost was also paid by the police force. Zhao Xianxiu agreed.
After entering the prison, in a prison infighting, Zhao Xianxiu won Han Zaihu's trust because he saved Han Zaihu's life, and just when Han Zaihu was preparing to receive this little brother, the three-in-command Gao Changwu who came to visit the prison told Han Zaihu that this guy was an undercover, Han Zaihu did not immediately expose Zhao Xianxiu, he sent Gao Changwu to kill Zhao Xianxiu's mother.
After learning the news of his mother's murder, Zhao Xianxiu was distraught, but the police ruthlessly demanded that he not be allowed to run to the funeral and continue to carry out his mission in prison. However, Han Zaihu helped Zhao Xianxiu get a day off, so he got out of prison to see his mother for the last time.
On the one hand, the ruthless teammates, on the other hand, the enemies who are indeed warm as spring, Zhao Xianxiu finally spits out the truth to Han Zaihu and completely escapes his purpose. Han Jae-ho asks Cho Hyun-soo to continue to liaise with the police and go undercover on both sides.
After the two are released from prison, Han and Zhao team up to kill the boss Gao Bingzhe, and the police return home every time based on the false information provided by Zhao Xianxiu. Just when Zhao Xianxiu and Han Zaihu were happy with the spring breeze, the police finally found out that the murderers of Zhao Xianxiu's mother were Gao Changwu and Han Zaihu, and after Zhao Xianxiu learned about it, he decided to kill Han Zaihu and Gao Changwu.
He called Han Zaihu and said that he was being investigated internally by the police, suspected of being betrayed, and the only people who knew Zhao Xianxiu's undercover identity were Gao Changwu except Han Zaihu, so Han Zaihu killed Gao Changwu. After that, Han Zaihu and Zhao Xianxiu agreed to meet secretly, and the police had laid an ambush, after a gun battle, Captain Qian drove han Zaihu and found drugs in the trunk of Han Zaihu's car, and at this time Zhao Xianxiu came out, shot and killed Captain Qian, and blamed the dying Han Zaihu, Zhao Xianxiu retreated.
The film breaks through the conventional plot categories of good and evil, extends the tentacles of the film's meaning to the depths of human nature, and in the process of Zhao Xianxiu's repeated betrayal, the film twice tells how unreliable the "trust" between people is sometimes through The two sentences below Han Zaihu. This theme coincides with the Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs".
"No Sweat Party" is a men's movie, the only female role Captain Qian is played by Quan Huizhen, a capable and ruthless image, the acting is still in place, but it is not brilliant. However, she was fighting back against a line from Gao Bingzhe, but it was full of firepower.
And the appearance of this film is not "the end of the time", he has completed the mission of the role well. In the psychological portrayal of the two betrayals, although slightly rough, the audience can basically get the essence of the character. Ren Shiquan's debut film was "The Defender" starring Song Kanghao, for which Ren Shiquan was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the 8th Asian Film Awards. He joined the army on July 11, 2017, and "The Khanless Party: The World of Bad Guys" was his last work before joining the army.
