2022 is definitely a big year for Korean action movies.
In July, there were two action sequels of "Witch 2" and "Crime City 2" and the audience met.
As the "last man in Korea", Ma Dong-seok has become an action movie star that cannot be underestimated in South Korea and even In Asia.
As early as "Busan Trip", Ma Dong-seok won the favor of countless audiences for playing a wrestler who was "strict with his wife".
After that, Ma Dongxi successively starred in "The Legend of the Wicked" as a gangster with a sense of justice.
In the film, Ma Dongxi slaps his opponent in the negotiation meeting and spits blood, achieving a 100% critical attack effect.
No one can hold out under Ma Dongxi's slap for 3 seconds,
The slap comes with a serious injury and armor-piercing BUFF, which makes the audience enjoy the scene of Ma Dongxi beating the enemy violently.
Although Ma Dongxi has not carried out professional movement training, with his strong body and extremely fierce appearance, his action scenes are simple and straightforward.
Fighting the fiercest fight with the simplest move made Ma Dongxi win the title of "One Punch Superman".
Fans even affectionately call Ma Dongxi "Shenma Stuff".
In 2017, the violent action film "Crime City" starring Ma Dong-seok and Yoon Ki-sang broke many Records in South Korea.
Due to the violent, bloody brutality of the film, it is defined as forbidden to be viewed under the age of 19.
The story of Crime City is simple, but the plot is still full of fascinating crime elements.
A criminal gang led by Zhang Qianegg came to South Korea from China and stirred up the local gangs in South Korea.
In the dispute of "black eating black" again and again, several lives were lost.
In the face of the fierce Zhang Qian egg gang, the local policeman Ma Xidao struck hard and vowed to eradicate this social remnant.
Unlike other separate confrontations between good and evil, the film begins with a setting of black and white living in peace.
The foreign force Zhang Qianegg broke this balance, among which the cruel means of cutting the throat and breaking the limbs of the hostile gangs made people unbearable to look at it.
The tigers of foreign forces are eyeing each other, and the inland gangs are fighting in the nest, so that the story is separated from the boring setting of the previous police films that are simply "black and white".
In particular, the big battle between Ma Dongxi and "Zhang Qianegg" at the end of the film, Ma Dongxi's sense of oppression like a Tiger tank, has won the reputation of "toilet god of war".
In 2017, "Crime City" grossed 6.87 million people in The Local Market, making it the highest-grossing crime action movie in South Korea that year.
Five years later, the sequel to Crime City met the audience, and the film became Ma Dong-seok's first Korean film to return from Hollywood.
With the good reputation of the previous game, "Crime City 2" has naturally attracted much attention, and since its release on May 18, the number of moviegoers has reached 12.67 million, becoming the 2022 Korean box office champion.
The film continues the characteristics of "adaptation of true events" and "equal emphasis on violence and bloodshed", especially the action scene of the villain Sun Xijiu in the corridor of the room.
Ma Dongxi also continued the martial arts setting of the protagonist of the previous game, "One Punch Superman", and the opponents basically lost their combat effectiveness in one move.
The realistic action scene from fist to flesh basically locks in the best action movie of the year.
Because the film is set in Vietnam, it was even boycotted by Vietnamese officials and banned.
Today's "New Film Spotlight" allows Fork fork to bring you the latest movie starring Ma Dongxi
Crime City 2
The Roundup
In the first part, the villain Jang Qian-yo actually mirrors the criminal case of the underworld detected by the South Korean police in 2004, and the killer Lee Jeong-kwang, who traveled from the northeast to South Korea, caused a huge panic in South Korea.
Due to the fierce shots, there is no bottom line for doing things, which has caused panic among the two Korean gangsters.
In the second part, the film also chooses a real case that sensationalizes South Korea, which is the "Philippine kidnapping serial murder case" that occurred between 2007 and 2012.
The murderer used kidnapping and tearing up tickets to kill more than 20 victims in a row, and the police still have many doubts that have not been revealed to the public.
Having said a lot, let's officially start today's story.
The film begins by showing the audience a kidnapping.
His father, the brother of a gangster, came to Vietnam to buy land in the area, but he was not greeted by a partner but a group of fraud kidnappers.
Several people tricked him into taking him to the outskirts and kidnapped him. The mastermind was The mastermind was The murderer Jiang Haishang, who had fled to Vietnam.
Jiang Haishang is a habitual offender, and there is no bottom line in doing things. Because he committed a murder in South Korea, he fled to Vietnam.
Jiang Haishang is very good at seizing legal loopholes, he specifically targets rich tourists who come to Southeast Asia to travel, kidnapping them for extortion, but every time he kidnaps him, he will not leave a living mouth.
The tens of millions of won in Gongzige's district could not fill the appetite of several murderers, and his escape aroused Jiang Haishang's murderous spirit.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Haishang raised his knife and wiped the neck of Brother Gongzi.
Although Brother Gongzi is dead, but there is still use value, Jiang Haishang looked at Brother Gongzi's broken hand, and took his passport and sent it to his underworld father.
This caused dissatisfaction among the underworld tycoons, who vowed to torture and kill Jiang Haishang through their own forces to avenge their only son.
Dissatisfied with Jiang Haishang's practice of losing his conscience, coupled with the uneven distribution of the loot, Jiang Haishang killed an accomplice on the spot.
His terrifying personality triggers the fear of two accomplices, who see their partners killed by Jiang Haishang one after another, and one of the accomplices voluntarily surrenders himself and prays for extradition back to South Korea to escape Jiang Haishang's pursuit.
With so many plots paving, our "one-punch superman" Ma Xidao appeared.
In order to take care of many audiences who do not understand the series, the director specially arranged a scene to defeat the criminals at the beginning of Ma Xidao, so that the audience can understand the terrible fighting power of Ma Xidao.
Receiving instructions from their superiors, Ma Xidao and the group leader came to Vietnam to extradite a criminal who had surrendered himself.
Originally thought to be an easy task that could be played abroad, the experienced Ma Xidao learned about Jiang Haishang who killed people and overstepped goods from criminals through his large fists in sandbags and various skillful "love impressions".
Jiang Haishang's several lives on his back could not sit idly by, and Ma Xidao launched an investigation into Jiang Haishang.
Unfortunately, this is in Vietnam after all, and ma Xidao and the team leader's investigation has been hindered by layers, and everything is not going well.
Through investigation, Ma Xidao and his brother learned that Gongzi Brother's father, President Cui, had a lot of energy, and he did not choose to call the police but planned to use Jiang Haishang's life to sacrifice to his son.
Although Chairman Cui sent a large number of thugs, it was obvious that in response to the famous saying of "fierce fear of death", more than a dozen people fell under the knife of Jiang Haishang and his companions.
Here also contributed to the film's best fight scene, the director obviously learned from "Old Boy", "Raid" and other films, with a long shot in one go to contribute to the audience a bloody street battle.
In Jiang Haishang's residence, Ma Xidao and Jiang Haishang, who heard the news, had their first confrontation, as the ceiling of the force of this film, the fierce Jiang Haishang was still tender in front of Ma Xidao.
Because the film's progress bar is not yet halfway through, coupled with the assistance of his companions, Jiang Haishang escapes under Ma Xidao's eyes without suspense.
Through interrogating his accomplices, Ma Seok-do learns that Kang Hae-sang is trying to travel to South Korea to kidnap Choi.
Despite the tight arrangements, Chairman Cui was captured by Jiang Haishang at his son's memorial service, and the Chinese mercenaries he hired were even sent by Jiang Haishang to bring a series of killers.
The whole operation was lost.
Jiang Haishang did nothing more than ask for money, and the shrewd and capable President Cui's wife seized his psychology of seeking wealth, agreed to his request for 2 million US dollars, and proposed the trading conditions of handing over money with one hand and handing over money.
Apparently, Jiang Haishang knew that the police would track them down, and he specially let the brother killer confuse the police, while he himself observed the police's every move in the dark.
After experiencing a wonderful car chase scene, Ma Xidao saved the wife of Chairman Cui who was chased by the killer, but Jiang Haishang successfully got 2 million US dollars and embarked on the passenger ship.
At the end of the film, Jiang Haishang is definitely unable to escape, and on the bus in the tunnel, Ma Xidao and Jiang Haishang have a duel.
Jiang Haishang's fragile small body was obviously unable to resist Ma Xidao's huge destructive force.
In the end, the old saying that "evil does not suppress righteousness" was answered.
Fist to flesh, people do not talk much, "Crime City 2" recreates the atmosphere of Hong Kong police films in the last century
As a rising action star in recent years, Ma Dongxi, who is already 51 years old, can be described as a late bloomer.
Considering Ma Dongxi's age and martial arts foundation, the action director did not arrange various fancy moves, but let Ma Dongxi use "one hit must kill" to make up for the shortcomings of body shape and the misunderstanding of traditional action movies.
This kind of action design of "breaking the trick with force" is not rejected by the audience, but it allows the audience to satisfy the audience's destructive desire to abuse the dish with a huge gap in combat effectiveness.
Because the film set the place where the case took place in Vietnam, the film was boycotted by vietnamese locals who believed that the film was deliberately smearing the country.
Of course, it is not that "Crime City 2" has no shortcomings, as the main villain of this film, Jiang Haishang, who kills people and crosses the goods, although the knife is played with tigers, it is obviously not as high as Zhang Qianegg's combat effectiveness in the first part.
At the end of the film, the duel between Jiang Haishang and Ma Xidao presents a one-sided situation, which is obviously not as long as Zhang Qianegg's struggle.
This also confirms from the side that Jiang Haishang can not beat Zhang Qianegg, in the character portrayal, Jiang Haishang, played by Sun Xijiu, only simply highlights the cunning and fierce and cold-blooded side, relatively one-sided.
Far less than Yin Qixiang's Zhang Qian egg "evil charm madness", in the shape and personality charm of the superior judgment, these are the second part is not as good as the first part of the lost sub-item.
But at the moment when the action movies are getting thinner, "Crime City 2" is still a masterpiece worth watching in 2022, cool enough and fierce enough.
