Hong Kong, 2020.
The Serious Crimes Unit set up a bureau to round up international drug lords, but they did not expect to suddenly kill a group of masked bandits.
This group of bandits was well trained and cruel, and slaughtered everyone at the scene.......
After anti-drug police officer Zhang Chongbang (Zhen Zidan) intervenes in the investigation, he finds that the background of the gang is not simple.
Not only are they as disciplined as the Flying Tigers, well-planned and skillful, but they are also familiar with the operations of the Major Crimes Unit and are very familiar with the police operation process.
After Zhang Chongbang investigates deeply, he discovers that the leader of the robbers is his former comrade-in-arms Qiu Gang'ao (played by Xie Tingfeng).
At that time, the two fought side by side and loved each other as brothers.
In a case of kidnapping of a wealthy businessman, the two were given different tasks and were each responsible for investigating one piece.
Zhang Chongbang's action was very smooth, but there was an accident on Qiu Gang'ao's side, he went down with a stick, and the suspect actually hung up...
In court, if Zhang Chongbang lied a little for his brother, he could make a big deal out of a small matter.
But the upright Zhang Chongbang told the truth, so Qiu Gang'ao was abandoned by his superiors and became a victim, and was imprisoned for four years.
For a policeman who vowed to give everything for Hong Kong's security, Mr. Qiu's faith collapsed.
He was completely blackened and went down the road to destruction....
The first thing Qiu Gang'ao did after he got out of prison was revenge.
The person he wanted to fight head-on was his former brother Zhang Chongbang.
The story of "Fury" is very similar to "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", and the protagonist setting is also similar to Pan Chengfeng played by Andy Lau.
It's just that "Fury" is closer to the creative idea of traditional Hong Kong police films, it portrays the black and white males who face each other and fight with wits, create character contradictions, and create dramatic tension through reversal.
The plot is very burning, like a torch burning, illuminating all the corners.
The names of the two protagonists, "Chongbang" and "Gang Ao", can roughly see the personality characteristics of the protagonists.
Zhang Chongbang is synonymous with justice and justice, gang ao originally meant to be just and righteous, but in the end he became a big villain who was obsessed with destruction.
In the film, Xie Tingfeng's Qiu Gang'ao is impressive, his hair is retro, paying tribute to the clown.
He is crazy and paranoid, sometimes cold, sometimes crazy, and his performance is very outstanding.
Zhen Zidan is the action director of this film, and the design of the action is very sharp, fist to flesh.
Like "Kill the Wolf", Zhang Chongbang's best weapon is to throw a stick.
Nicholas Tse used a butterfly knife, similar to the dagger used by Wu Jing in those days.
The final battle between the two in the church is not only the tragic fate of the characters, but also the sense of fate that good and evil are inseparable.
At the end, Qiu Gang'ao asked Zhang Chongbang a question——
If our tasks had been reversed, would our fates be completely different now...
Thanks to director Chen Musheng, he made a Hong Kong-style film with golden age characteristics.
Although he looks polite and elegant, he is best at genre films such as high-burning police films and action movies.
"All overheated, all crazy", is Chen Musheng's creative philosophy, he is a family in action movies, explosion scenes and chase scenes are the best at good plays.
His works, we can all count, from "Heavenly Love", "New Crane Needle", to "Who I Am", "New Police Story", "Baby Project", and then to "Double Male", "Keep Talking", "Sweeping Drugs".
In Hong Kong police films, he pays attention to the use of action special effects and highlights the charm of the villain, and is good at highlighting the visual shock with a very impactful explosion.
Although Chen Musheng has not won the Academy Award for Best Director once in his lifetime, his style has long been its own, and there is no need to use awards to prove it.
In "Fury", you will see all the elements that Chen Musheng is good at, drag racing, fighting, explosions, shooting, each of which is very exciting.
It is worth mentioning that Chen Musheng's first independently directed "Stormtrooper Fury Street" in 1996 and "Fury" in 2021 have the words "anger" and "fire".
Chen Musheng is full of enthusiasm and a lifelong love, all dedicated to the film industry.
What is rare is that in his heart, there will always be the fire of Hong Kong-made action movies.
As he himself said, "Movies are a marathon, and if you really love the industry, you don't run once or twice, but you run slowly for decades." ”
