Although the May 1st movie really has no sense of existence, the reputation of "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" is still out of the circle in a small area.
Nearly 100,000 people scored 7.4 points and were not classified as "Hong Kong bad movies".
The lineup is still that group of old acquaintances, Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, Ren Xianqi, Lin Feng......
They play the stories of father's debts and sons, gang grievances, and brotherhood, which can be said to be very familiar, and it is worth mentioning that because the film is adapted from comics, the action scenes are "martial arts style", which is eye-catching.
Judging from the comment area, the overall look and feel of the film is good.
High EQ Speech: Hong Kong Classic Genre Films Return to the Soul;
Low EQ Speech: Expected, a little old-fashioned.
Yes, compared with director Zheng Baorui's "return" to Hong Kong from the mainland, the "Wisdom Teeth" and "Murder" filmed are not fierce enough and peaceful.
Compared with his own early works, it is even less sophisticated.
You know, he can make the best movie with the most humble conditions-
《Unexpected》
Was it an accident? Or was it not an accident?
In this sentence, the protagonist asked from beginning to end, and the audience cleared the layers of fog and finally got the answer.
A netizen summed it up well-
The killer doesn't believe in accidents, just as the female branch doesn't believe in true love.
As soon as the story opens, there is a bloody scene.
On the crowded streets of Hong Kong, a man in a suit and tie got out of the car and told the long-haired woman in black not to stop casually and block the way.
The woman explained that the car had a flat tire and that she would immediately move the place.
The man then got back into the car and prepared to drive away.
As a result, as soon as the car started, it happened that the sprinkler truck came head-on, and the water spilled on the man's face, causing the car to deviate from the direction.
At this time, the advertising banner on the upper floor of the street fell halfway down and happened to float to the car.
The man got out of the car and tried to tear the banner open.
As soon as he exerted his strength, the connection at the other end of the banner shattered the glass of the upstairs window, and just smashed straight into the man's head.
In an instant, the man's head broke and bled to the ground.
Before he could wait for the ambulance, the man was dying.
The police characterized the man's death as an accident, however, the audience has already seen through everything from God's perspective.
This was not an accident, but an elaborate murder.
The criminal gang specializes in creating "accidents" that result in the death of the target.
The boss brain of the team (played by Louis Koo) is responsible for taking orders and getting target person information from customers without contact.
In the next step, he took the fat man (played by Lin Xue), the woman (played by Ye Xuan), and the old man (played by Feng Qufan) to investigate the environment in which the target person lives and find the most inconspicuous unexpected factors.
Find a way to kill and rehearse it over and over again.
Returning to the death of the man in the suit, it can be seen that the woman lied about a flat tire in order to put the target in place and announce the start of the operation.
Then the old man drove up in a sprinkler truck and changed the route of the car.
At the same time, the fat man is on the high ground of the residential building next to him, cutting the rope of the advertising banner and triggering the mechanism.
After the man fell to the ground, the brain observed at the first scene, confirmed his death, announced the success of the operation, and closed the team.
The whole operation, in one go, is silent.
The point is that with such a large amount of information, some directors can't shoot for an hour or two to explain it clearly, and the progress bar of this film only jumps by 5 minutes!!
The narrative rhythm without dragging the mud is extremely friendly to the "boiled water" aversion.
The most amazing thing is that through the old man's small action of smoking during the action, the audience quickly gets the character of each member.
The woman has a kind background and occasionally tells a small lie.
She noticed that the old man was smoking while he was moving, and threw the cigarette butt at the scene.
The saliva on the cigarette butt allows the police to track the old man's DNA, and if the action is discovered, it is easy for the team to be exposed.
The old man has an easy-going personality and hides the fact that he is suffering from Alzheimer's disease from the team.
At first, he denied smoking, and only then did he admit that he couldn't get rid of it.
The fat man is shrewd and careful.
Through the atmosphere of the scene, he understood that the woman and the old man had something to hide from him.
The brain is rational and cold-blooded, and interests are paramount.
He exposed the woman's lie to her face, saying that he had also picked up a cigarette butt.
As soon as he spoke, everyone collectively shut up.
I can feel that this team is not strong and indestructible, interests are the bond between them, everyone is for money, there is no affection.
You're useless to me, I can throw you away at any time.
In addition to the characters taking an unusual route, the plot direction is even more unexpected.
The next business went wrong.
This time the story is about a middle-aged man, either out of insurance fraud, or he wants to inherit the shop immediately, and he wants to kill his half-dead father.
Aside from external factors, after a series of analysis and experiments, the gang decided to find a rainy day and create an accident in which his father was electrocuted.
Everything went smoothly -
The pouring rain hints of arrival.
The kite hung smoothly on the power lines on the side of the road.
Although the old man forgot to release the balloon to block the surveillance on the side of the road, the rain was dense enough for the surveillance to not see the fat man's appearance.
In this way, the fat man rode his bicycle and pretended to pass by, and kicked his employer from behind, causing his father to fall to the ground and slide to the side of the road.
As planned, Daddy was electrocuted.
However......
The plan ended, and disaster struck.
As he left the scene, the brain was suddenly chased by a bus behind him.
He nimbly dodged, but the bus crashed straight into it, killing two people, one of whom was fat.
The fat man asked the brain before he died, was it an accident?
This scene reminded him of the scene when his wife was hit by a car and died, and he was so grief-stricken that he felt that someone had killed her.
Similarly, the fat man's death was not an accident to him.
First, when the brain returned home, he found that the home had been stolen, and the huge amount of cash in the safe was missing, and it was clear that someone was targeting him.
Second, after the brain's tracking visit, he found that there were suspicious people around him.
After the team bulk the goods, the woman actually went to the employer and collected the final payment.
In the past, this work was the responsibility of the fat man, and the other team members did not know the information of the employer and the location of the transaction.
Could it be that a woman has stalked a fat man? Want to take the reward for yourself after killing people?
For this, the brain did not listen to the woman's explanation, and directly used the new "accident" to punish her.
Then, the brain observed that the employer of the second operation, frequently holding a document, found the elite man, and the two seemed to be plotting something.
The brain moved to the opposite side of the elite man's house, and through the monitoring, he heard the elite man pass several key sex-
The old man accidentally fell from the balcony with the window falling off, and it was solved as soon as possible.
Soon, the old man actually fell from the building.
There are also employers who commit suicide by jumping off a building after meeting with an elite man.
When the brain came home, he bumped into the elite man and the landlord of the brain renting the house.
Could it be that the brain is being monitored by elite men?
Regarding the truth, the factory director is here to leave a suspense for you.
In short, the follow-up is wonderful and amazing.
It's amazing, and I can't get enough of it, I just feel that the length of 87 minutes is too short.
In the end, it really confirmed that sentence -
If you lie too much, it will be less likely to believe the truth of others. There are too many fake accidents, and all accidents are fanciful.
People, after all, they are defeated by the demons of their hearts.
