Can you imagine a killer never really killing anyone? If you give a positive answer, you must not have seen Lucky Key. This movie, like Andy Lau's "Surging Crowds" in this year's Spring Festival file, is a remake of the Japanese movie "The Way to Steal the Key".
"Lucky Key" starring Liu Haizhen is a unique comedy, the film scored 7.4 on Douban, of which the audience who gave three-star to four-star reviews accounted for up to 80%, and the audience who gave one-star and two-star bad reviews was less than 4%, it is conceivable that although the film does not have a high upper limit, it has a good lower limit.
Although the film itself is positioned as a comedy, Liu Haizhen is not a comedian in the traditional sense. He is well known to the audience for "Black Jack", won the Green Dragon Award for Best Supporting Actor with the thriller "Moss", and won the audience with the costume action film "Pirate", not to mention "Old Thousand 2" and "The King's Man" and other works.
He is the ceiling of the Korean "ugly handsome" industry, an actor who does not rely on his appearance at all, and his acting skills are indeed speechless.
From the perspective of an actor, I think Liu Haizhen's performance in "Lucky Key" is enough to get at least 9 points, he neither subverts his consistent personality because of comedy, nor does he constrain his performance in comedy because of past honors, he is more like Leon of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", using the plot to dissect the tenderness of a cold man.
Because Liu Haizhen played an undefeated killer in "Lucky Key", the film was named "This Killer Plays a Big" when it was released in Taiwan Province, and the difference between Liu Haizhen and Lyon is that although the former has brilliant killer achievements, his hands have never been contaminated with human life, which I think is where many viewers are confused and curious.
"Lucky Key" as a comedy, the core of the comedy on the "identity exchange", Liu Haizhen in the bathhouse by a soap trip, wake up and forget their identity. On the other side, Li Huai, who witnessed Liu Haizhen's fall, took the opportunity to exchange hands between the two, and a series of wonderful stories began.
Here Liuhai Town relies on the killer's "handicraft work" to turn a restaurant into an Internet celebrity shop, on the other hand, Li Huai suddenly gets wealth and continues to be a waste firewood, and with the exposure of mission goals and Liuhai Town's recovery of memory, things begin to develop in the direction of chaos. Faced with Li Huai's hostility, Liu Haizhen revealed his biggest secret.
It turned out that the reason why Liu Haizhen's missions could be completed perfectly was because he never really killed a target, but leaked secrets to the target in advance and let him cooperate in forging the illusion of mission completion.
After a series of serious and funny plots, we will inevitably lament that "gold shines everywhere", and in addition to the labels of comedies and action movies, I prefer to add the title of "inspirational film" to this film. This can be seen when you compare the performance of the two protagonists after exchanging lives.
Although "Lucky Key" is a remake, from the perspective of localization of the subject matter, this film surpasses many domestic imitators. When you finish watching the first half of the film, you will find that the story of Liu Haizhen and Li Huai has a strong routine atmosphere.
What is a Korean film, many people may give the answer will focus on "social", "irony", "small people", "the dark side of society" and other words, "Lucky Key" is no exception, it can be said that this film is based on reality to create a sense of comedy, perhaps this is the real comedy.
