On February 16, the movie "Breaking the War" was released in some theaters. So far, the box office of this film has only exceeded 10,000 yuan. Yes, it's 10,000 yuan, not 100 million yuan. This "Breaking the War" is written and directed by Peng Fa, starring many well-known Hong Kong actors such as Wu Zhenyu and Ren Dahua, and it tells the story of police and bandits that are more familiar in Hong Kong films.
At the same time, the film was also launched on major genuine video platforms. In addition to seeing the film in theaters, fans can also watch this film on genuine video platforms. Therefore, the theatrical box office of "Breaking the War" is as low as just breaking 10,000 yuan, which is also very understandable. After all, there are free ones on the Internet, so everyone doesn't go to see those that charge dozens of yuan.
After the release of "Breaking the War", it formed a variety of negative reviews from fans. In Douban and other places, this movie can be described with a good review. The one-star and two-star negative reviews given by fans basically illustrate the true quality of this Hong Kong film. In an era of decline in Hong Kong films, "Breaking the War" undoubtedly poured oil on the Hong Kong films that were being burned again. There are movies like "Breaking the War", and Hong Kong films are even more despised by fans.
Peng Fa's "Breaking the War" is really a movie that people look down on. If the previous Hong Kong police films were still willing to tell stories and present scenes such as action shootouts, this Hong Kong film "Breaking the War" simply doesn't even want stories and scenes, it's really like a bowl of boiled water, or the kind of boiled water that can't be drunk overnight.
As soon as the film came up, it was a fixed idea in Hong Kong police films, and the actor began to show off his ability. Then, some cases began to appear. The most uncomfortable thing about "Breaking the War" is that it has a narrative like boiled water, and there is no sense of rhythm at all. If early Hong Kong movies still talk about three-act performances, then Peng Fa's "Breaking the War" doesn't even know what three-act performances are.
After the film is messy and piled up with a bunch of cases, a seemingly effective main line finally appears, that is, the villain male protagonist has a serial revenge. Some fans even joked that as soon as the villain of "Breaking the War" appeared, everyone had already guessed all the content of the story behind. Being guessed by fans about the follow-up content means that this movie is more like no story content.
The next part of revenge is also a variety of boiled water mixed with cold water. The villain's male protagonist doesn't see how capable he is, so he can do evil at school, in the office of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, etc. What's even more ridiculous is that the direct leader of the decent male protagonist, that is, the character played by Ren Dahua, was directly killed by the villain male protagonist, and he has no ability to resist at all. Is this the Monkey King fighting the little monster in the summer?
After all kinds of serial crimes, the decent male protagonist caught the villain male protagonist, and the whole movie ended. What's even more ridiculous is that the vegetative female protagonist who the villain male protagonist has been serving, after sobering up, turned back and directly reported the villain male protagonist. The most ridiculous thing is that no matter whether the female protagonist reports it or not, the male protagonist has already locked up this villain. This heroine's anti-water report has no effect in the movie.
In "Breaking the War", you can really see too many once-well-known Hong Kong stars. However, this movie, which has all bad reviews, also indicates the basic attitude of fans towards this Hong Kong film. Its hitting the street is caused by its own poor quality. Hong Kong films have gone from their glory to their current decline, and they have really made themselves like this. If you want a story without a story, if you want a scene without a scene, if you want a rhythm without a rhythm, if you want nothing, fans are no longer easy to fool, the defeat of "Breaking the War" can really be described by Mr. Lu Xun in the last two words of "On the Fall of Leifeng Tower".
