You have to be cruel to survive

This should be the most violent Korean movie I have ever seen.

Dark, bloody, and full of danger, from beginning to end, every rhythm is a ubiquitous sense of oppression.

Every character seems to be in the arena, acting carefully and stabbing the knife viciously.

On the one hand, he restrained his breath and guarded against the beasts lurking in the dark, watching on him; on the other hand, he polished his sharp claws and teeth to bite the prey's throat fiercely.

In this interlocking food chain, everyone is a predator and food.

This is a dark jungle society.
In such an environment, it is too difficult for everyone to make breakthroughs on their own strength alone, so they cooperate with each other with interest or coercion or trust to achieve both offensive and defensive capabilities and take the initiative in the overall situation.

Everyone's strength could have contained each other, and Kinmen was in a dangerous balance. When they started cooperating, they swallowed each opponent.

The police cooperated with the spies and the second in command and killed the first, third and fourth in Jinmen respectively.
If the contract goes on normally, it should be the police actually operating the Jinmen forces.
Unfortunately, the strangulation of this food chain will not stop.
Just like raising Gu, after devouring each other, there is only one winner in the end.

Plum was a little policeman who lived in peace. He was not a part of the food chain at that time. When he was assigned to lurch in the gang, and when he had control of a party's power, he became an important piece on the chessboard and could control the chess game.

He is capable, determined, and actionable. Although he has lived as a triad for so many years and his behavior has been blackened, he still has the integrity of the police in his bones.
His dark side and sunny side are pulling each other, splitting, and almost on the verge of collapse.
His heart is not dark enough, so he cares too much, cares too much.

Ding Qing is undoubtedly a person who knows him very well.
Under this guy's giggling appearance, there is a viciousness that Li Zicheng does not.

Ding Qing appeared like a big brother with no brains, but he was a real gangster with a cynical expression on his face. In fact, he was more calm than anyone else and was able to do it. Li Zhongjiu has more brains than the fourth-in-command. No wonder Li Zhongjiu can be squeezed down.

Li Zhongjiu seems to be spreading his teeth and dancing claws, but in fact he is weak in his heart. Whenever the overall situation changes, he has to be controlled by others. Section Chief Jiang made a bet with him: Which of the two will die first. It's a pity that no one can decide who won for them, because they both died in about time.

Ding Qing has a deep affection for Li Zicheng, in fact, Li Zicheng does the same with Ding Qing.
In the parking lot, when Li Zhongjiu threatened Ding Qing, Li Zicheng stood in front of Ding Qing. While in the ward, Ding Qing asked him: What can you do if I am alive? Li Zicheng's eyes were full of tears of guilt, and he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at his elder brother.
Ding Qing got Li Zicheng's undercover information, but let him go without hesitation. Li Zicheng has a guilty conscience. He doesn't know if he will let Ding Qing go in a different situation. Because of uncertainty, he felt guilty. Feeling guilty indicates that there is genuine affection. The iron-blooded man would be full of tears like a child, with a wounded face, and he would not dare to look directly at his elder brother.

After knowing the identity of Li Zicheng, Ding Qing immediately hid the information, and then dealt with the other two spies in front of Li Zicheng. Put the blood-stained female spy into a bucket, then let Li Zicheng open it, and then suddenly shoot another spy to death with a shovel. The poison was completely contrasted with the image of the straw bag deliberately shown before.

Before, Li Zicheng, who seemed to be cold and cold, trembled and frightened all over the scene of hoeing and rape. In the end, she couldn't bear to let the female spy be insulted before she died, so she shot her directly, because of fear, the gun could not be held securely, so she shot several shots in succession.
And Ding Qing, who turned his back to him, had a clear expression on his face. He knew that Li Zicheng still lacked a bit of acrimony.

Whether Li Zicheng is undercover or not, he regards him as his brother.
So in the ward, it was the elder brother's advice to his brothers: You must be cruel in order to survive.
Li Zicheng and Ding Qing have a profound relationship.
Support and trust each other.
When other alliances have cracks or anti-purposes, two people can still fight together on the same front. After Ding Qing's death, Ding Qing's men directly followed Li Zicheng loyally. Ding Qing left confidential information to Li Zicheng before he died.
And Li Zicheng also inherited Ding Qing's will in this struggle that would lead to death if he missed a little bit, and killed all his opponents and mastered the overall situation.

It is quite controversial whether Li Zicheng and Ding Qing are the eldest brothers. However, after watching the last paragraph, I don't think who is the eldest brother is fixed. At the beginning, Li Zicheng was brave enough, but Ding Qing was a little bit embarrassed. Later Ding Qing had the upper hand because Ding Qing was more poisonous.

Brother Li Zicheng acknowledged Ding Qing. After Li Zicheng inherited Ding Qing's poison, he opened up another dark new world. After all, you have to be cruel to survive in this cannibalistic jungle society.

    md, it's so good, I'm afraid that she will finish the performance a little bit. Although I guessed the ending from the beginning, the filming was really touchy, especially the garage breakout scene in which it was a tragic scene. The stick touched me again, good movie
