Although the new crime film "Wading Through the Angry Sea", which director Cao Baoping and the three-gold actress Zhou Xun joined forces after 12 years, is a little lengthy, it is joined by actor Huang Bo, as well as powerful actors such as Yan Ni, Zhang Youhao, Zu Feng, Zhou Yiyi, etc., involving large-scale crime elements such as rape and homicide, which can be called the hottest new film of the week!
Jin Meteorite (Lao Jin) fishes all day long to earn money for his daughter Jin Lina to study in Japan, but one day she was reported to have died of her daughter, and she was gang raped before her death. So, Lao Jin chased Nana's boyfriend Li Miaomiao, from Japan to China, the story is like a snowball, and the cruel truth after the anger is revealed!
The ambition of the whole film is huge, although Lao Jin is just an ordinary ship boss, at the beginning, when the pirates hijacked the ship, he swore to resist and overturn the enemy and escaped, and all kinds of long shots and hand-to-hand combat seemed very violent.
Later, she chased after the rich second-generation Li Miaomiao, and did not hesitate to fight to the death with the other party's mother and the police, Huang Bo wrote wildness, stubbornness, anger, and brainlessness on her face, and shaped the character as accurately as a beast.
The young and beautiful girl died mysteriously with 17 knives, and was gang-raped before her death, Li Miaomiao, who was her boyfriend, did not explain half a sentence after seeing her father, and secretly escaped by concealing her identity, this kind of scumbag must not be able to get out of the relationship. Zhang Youhao also played the role very obediently, which is annoying!
Li Miaomiao's mother, Jing Lan, is a rich and powerful lady, but she arranged for her son to flee from Japan to China, and she was also preparing to let him flee to Germany. This desperate and decisive mother, Zhou Xun acted wisely and explosively, in stark contrast to the crazy and brutal Huang Bo.
Lao Jin fishing barely provided for his daughter to study abroad, Nana also had to work hard to study, but Li Miaomiao was just thrown to Japan by her parents to gild, so she could live a life of fine clothes and food, not only fooling around with women, but also doing animation cosplay, and his home in the mainland is a few floors of mansions, reflecting the difference between the rich and the poor!
The angry father Lao Jin held the recklessness and courage of the wrath of a horseman, and chased Li Miaomiao to death, not only dodging the train in the subway chase scene, but the two climbed the roof of the building and fell on the huge balloon, which is even more like the Jackie Chan movie "Who Am I"!
In the middle, the most shocking scene was the "rain of fish"! Lao Jin, Li Miaomiao, Jing Lan, the police, and other cars chased and raced, and everyone braved the tornado storm to cross the cross-sea bridge together, and the sea fish swept up by the wind fell like rain, and several cars were crashed, just like the style of a Hollywood blockbuster!
However, Lao Jin dragged Li Miaomiao's body past the other party's mother, and he could not be identified and leave the police station, and the later part of the film was out of control and bizarre, and it gradually became redundant!
In order to find her missing son, Jing Lan confronted Lao Jin alone, and was held down by someone holding her face with her mobile phone, even if she was scolded bloody, she had to bombard the other party if she was not a person, and scolded him for showing his daughter's video to himself!
And Zhou Xun's attempted pursuit of Huang Bo by car, and a fire caused by Lao Jin in the basement of a rich man, seems to be fierce and violent enough, with an immersive and intuitive audio-visual language that cannot be ignored, but it is obviously making a thrilling scene, making the whole film seem very lengthy.
Nana's Momo dynamic diary has become a flashback shot, and her life has a warm spring, sunny romance, love psychedelia, drunken gold fandom, and gloomy rainy nights, dark and cold death. These flashbacks take up space, long-winded and slow!
In addition to Li Miaomiao, Nana has also interacted with other men, such as the store manager who fell as soon as he showed favor. She put her hands in the refrigerator and froze them and went to wake up the store manager and let him make out with her, and the girl also got into the bed.... It's a bit of a fake level 3!
Jing Lan was beaten and scolded by Lao Jin when she was a child, she also has a perverted side in her heart, and there was already sexual abuse with Li Miaomiao, and she finally killed herself with a knife in order to prove her love, which was even more cruel and cold.
Zu Feng's cameo Li Miaomiao's father, when fighting with Lao Jin on a lonely boat, he was accidentally stoned to death when he hit the anchor, and before he died, he was revealed to just want to get rid of his son by Lao Jin's hands, after all, he was born a bad boy, abusing animals, pulling out the breathing tubes of critically ill elders, and making his sister a high paraplegic...
The front is a revenge chase that rubs on the edge of the law, and the back peels off the tattered coat of anger, sadness and lack of love layer by layer! At the end, Lao Jin released the imprisoned Li Miaomiao, and the criminals in the subtitles were all sentenced + Lao Jin finally got a children's charity fund after being released from prison?
The slogan "Watch cautiously under the age of eighteen" was shouted during the promotion of this film, which contained large-scale shots such as rape, murder, and violence, as well as the failure of rich and poor families to educate their children, which was considered a very vigorous masterpiece in domestic films, but the editing was still not clean enough, and it was very lengthy after 144 minutes!
Director Cao Baoping made this crime film, which is quite similar to the extremely sensational "Jiang-Ge Case" in 2016, with big scenes of actors, actresses, disasters and fights, which is more sincere than Zhang Yimou's "Solid as a Rock" and "Man Jianghong"! If you lower your expectations, it will be worth the ticket money in the cinema!
