Not only the power of action

Killing the Wolf is a very masculine movie. It is indeed superior to the Raptors that was released at the same time as Li Rengang. Ye Weixin’s works have his own style. Even at the climax of the duel, it shines with the brilliance of human nature. I see It’s an 88-minute version. I don’t know if it’s been processed. But in these 88 minutes, the story is also very exciting. Justice and evil, brothers’ affection, may seem a bit clichéd, but it’s very tense to deal with. Apart from the wonderful kung fu, the theme of true love is revealed everywhere, of course, brotherhood, father-son (female) love, and the protagonist is not portrayed with the good and evil of the protagonist. This is also one of the few movies that makes me impressed while watching the wonderful kung fu. , I only remembered "You are my hero" by Aaron Kwok and Li Ruotong.
Movies are commercial first, and box office needs to be considered. Li Rengang collaborated with Wu Jianhao when he was filming the young Ahu. The Raptors are also the main player Wu Jianhao. Maybe Wu looks handsome, but it is really mediocre. There are too many protagonists in order to take care of the movie market. Many celebrities from the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong feel that it is counterproductive, and it is obvious that Wu Jianhao's appeal is not enough. Although the overall view is acceptable, it does seem that the storyline is not focused enough compared with "Slaying the Wolf". The shooting of the "Raptors" shootout is more characteristic and the tension is quite good, but although the shooting is too many casualties, The plot is also flawed, and some details are far-fetched.
Sammo Hung and Yam Dahua appeared in both movies, of course, the role of killing the wolf is much heavier than that of the Raptors.
In particular, Ren Dahua, in his recent movies, although most of them are accompanying actors, they are all police officers (except "Underworld"), and most of them have more positive roles. Even the underworld is a bigwig. In the 1990s, he played many roles such as perverted sex monsters and murderous monsters. And almost all the first-line female celebrities in Hong Kong are cooperating with, and they are the protagonists doing their part. It can be seen that an actor's plasticity is quite strong, and it is impossible to judge a person's identity from the outside.
Speaking of this, the director's use of Cheng Kui'an (Dasha) is generally a silly underworld role. However, there is a movie that does not remember the director and name but uses him to play Liming's father, and he is a good father. I feel that The effect is particularly good. It seems that actors should not do positioning, and try to always surprise them.

    The story is still a Hong Kong drama routine. One more star is given to Wu Jing. The look, momentum and action are super handsome. Maybe the villain can better reflect the acting skills, better than Yen Zidan.
