Worthy of Zhen Zidan, "The Case of Anger" did not disappoint the audience
Although only 4 new films were released in the mainland film market last weekend, "Furious Case" and "Midsummer Future" are blockbusters that have attracted much attention in this year's summer file, and the two new films were released on the same day, which finally gave the summer file a hint of fiery taste
However, in addition to the first day of release of "Midsummer Future" with the advantage of scheduling and the box office of "Fury Case", the next two days of "Anger Case" won the single-day box office championship with an overwhelming advantage
As of August 1, the box office of "Fury Case" was 242 million in the first three days of the first weekend, and the box office of the three days of release was on the rise. Although "Midsummer Future" is not inferior in word of mouth, the daily box office diving is serious, and as of August 1, "Midsummer Future" had a box office of 134 million in the first 3 days of the weekend. And "Fury Serious Case" opened a big gap
Of course, the scale of production of the two films is not the same, "Summer Future" as a medium-cost film, with the current trend of the final box office can definitely exceed 300 million, has been a quite outstanding performance
"Furious Case" is a fierce play, and the plot is simple but smooth
Compared with "Midsummer Future" putting suspense elements into youth films, the plot of "Fury Serious Case" is very simple.
The movie is a typical double male drama of Hong Kong-style action films, Ah Ao played by Nicholas Tse and his little brothers were originally policemen, but under the pressure of their superiors, they accidentally killed the suspects, and Zhang Chongbang, played by Zhen Zidan, is Ah Ao's master and good brother.
Zhang Chongbang saw this scene with his own eyes and chose justice very tangledly. Testifying against Ah Ao in court led to the imprisonment of Ah Ao and his younger brothers.
After Ah Ao was released from prison, he began his own plan of revenge.
The villains of the previous Hong Kong-style action movies are full of charm, and this time Nicholas Tse played well, the cheerfulness when he was a policeman, and the madness after his release from prison were all played by Tse Ting-feng very well. But the role of Ah Ao is actually not so-called tragic
We can see that the suspect has already confessed under Ao's beating, but it is Ao's younger brother who also provokes and insults the suspect, which leads to the suspect's crazy counterattack, Ao also chose the most fatal blow to the head, and thinks that he is not wrong.
Ao's depravity itself is the result of his extreme personality.
The film also revealed Ah Ao's reversed identity prematurely, which also made the transformation of Ah Ao's role less impactful.
Of course, as long as the literary drama of "Furious Case" is smooth and logical, because this time the audience has seen the most fierce fight scenes in Hong Kong films in recent years.
The idea at the beginning of the film was to shoot the story of the police vs gangsters, set in Mexico. The title of the film is "Firefight". But the producers felt that the investment was too large. Zhen Zidan persuaded director Chen Musheng to put the story back in Hong Kong.
Although the cost has dropped a lot, the action scenes are not ambiguous
Whether it is Zhen Zidan alone breaking into the thief's den, very creatively tying the body armor to his hands as a shield, the small space fights dozens of people! Or a hot drag racing shootout on the street, saving children in a chaotic car.
Don't talk about the final showdown with Nicholas Tse, hand-to-hand combat, all kinds of cold weapons duel. This refreshing sensation and the punch-to-flesh impact. To be honest, in today's Chinese film industry, only Zhen Zidan can really do it, which is why Zhen Zidan can carry the banner of Hong Kong action movies
"Furious Case" has appeared in many supporting roles in hong Kong classic action films, and Lu Huiguang's appearance in less than 10 minutes is a highlight and a pity
"Fury Case" is well produced, but there are still many regrets. For example, the heroine played by Qin Lan is basically a tool person. Whether or not you actually appear on camera for five minutes is a problem. This makes Zhen Zidan's character a little less pyrotechnic.
If you like Hong Kong movies, you will definitely find Lin Guobin and Lo Wai Kwong, two classic supporting roles in Hong Kong action movies
This time, Lin Guobin played a small villain in the early stage in the movie, and Zhen Zidan broke into the thief's den alone, that is, to force Lin Guobin. As a result, the two fought in the sewers, Lin Guobin was unable to escape, and was killed by the little brother sent by Ah Ao
Lin Guobin's most well-known role is the villain of Chow Sing Chi's movie "The King of Destruction", the master brother of the broken water flow, the master brother of the broken water flow played by Lin Guobin is full of oppression, and he arrogantly says the most widely circulated line on the Internet: I am not aiming at you, I mean that everyone here is happy
Compared with Lin Guobin and Zhen Zidan fighting, Lu Huiguang is the real regret
Lu Huiguang was once a member of Jackie Chan's family class, and his leg skills were Lu Huiguang's best skills. When Jackie Chan filmed "Drunken Fist 2", director Liu Jialiang was dissatisfied with Jackie Chan's finger-pointing and directly picked people away. Jackie Chan can only continue the most important decisive battle scene by himself
Among them, the 7-minute fight with Lo Wai-kwang is one of the most classic scenes in Hong Kong action movies
Lo wai-kwong is 62 years old this year and has rarely appeared in action movies in recent years. This time, many fans of "Furious Case" hope that Lu Huiguang can have a classic duel like "Drunken Fist 2" with Zhen Zidan, and Lu Huiguang's appearance in "Fury Case" is the highlight
Unfortunately, Lu Huiguang does not play much in the movie, and Ah Ao eats black with each other. Less than 10 minutes after appearing on camera, he received a box lunch, and the action scenes were not brilliant. There was no resistance to the fight with Ah Ao
It is true that Lu Huiguang has reached the age of Hua Jia, in fact, Zhen Zidan is also 58 years old this year. Hong Kong action movies also need these old actors to carry, which is really a big problem. Maybe it's not that Lu Huiguang doesn't want to fight, but that he really can't fight
Although "Furious Case" is very well filmed, no one knows whether there is a future for Hong Kong action films
