The adrenaline of running away, the morality of running away

Korean movies are getting more and more exciting. Not long ago, there have been several 8 or even 9 word-of-mouth movies. The creative talent of Smectas has refreshed the eyes of my celestial audience time and time again.
I have always been fond of Korean action crime movies. The editing is fierce, the plot catches people, and the fight is hard, coupled with some irony of reality, I can't stop at all. When this movie comes to an end, it also has the above elements.
At the beginning of the film, people are put into a tense role. The car hits a person, hides the corpse, and transports the corpse in one go. Various uncontrollable external conditions exaggerated the sense of urgency and kept the audience's hearts hanging. Immediately afterwards, the protagonist, as a policeman, discovered that the wanted man to be arrested was the person who killed him. The vague surveillance video was turned over. An anonymous phone call claimed to be a witness to the car accident. Then the bad police appeared to threaten the protagonist. , Then the male protagonist discovers that the wanted man died in a shooting, which was done by the bad police, and then the powerful criminal plan of the bad police is discovered, and the male protagonist decides to fight back.
In the second half, the male protagonist and the bad cops are mixed up with all kinds of action film routines. The bomb detonated the car sunk at the bottom of the lake, he fought close and climbed the window at high altitude, gnawing his hands not violently enough, and gnawing his scalp. Looking at it, I can’t help feeling that the action movies of other people have been renovated in a tricky way. When I think of some of the movies I made, it feels like a stage play.
Suspense and horror combined with violence and blood, the key to the end is the kidney. As long as you don't worry about some small flaws, the completion of the film is still very high. Along the way, it is difficult not to watch it.
But if the audience is distracted, the film seems a little bit powerless.
My first reaction after watching this film is that good people are almost extinct in this film. The protagonist is a car hitting a person and destroying his body. A group of colleagues are corrupt and bribery. The traffic police who inspected is only flattering, not to mention the villain who has done bad things. This is also a policeman, from the Republic of Korea. The police are all of this virtue? In the end, such a big event can be suppressed on the grounds of "bad influence on the leadership". If this script is inspired and inspired from reality, I can't help but shudder in the celestial dynasty.
At the end, the male protagonist opened the villain's vault. Among the piles of banknotes, the whole film came to an abrupt end and played "to the end". This seems to have formed a very suggestive metaphor-confined space, huge amount of money, only a way out, no way forward. Recalling this film, in the absence of the usual decent characters, the subject's plot translocation has become a minor evil, sanctions and a major evil, and after all, the villains are still in power. In order to conceal his criminal traces, the protagonist showed excessive concern in the mother's funeral arrangements. Unexplained outsiders say a "filial son", which has also become a moral torture and condemnation.
What a painful realization this is! With my brain wide open, I thought sadly, if the good people in this world are basically extinct, they can only be worse than anyone else. After justice and conscience have fallen under the prestige of money and power, individuals can no longer be alone.
Of course, this interpretation of the film is not immune to conjecture, and there is also a feeling of inadequate handling in some places. Having said that, the entertainment of this film is still remarkable, suitable for kidney, not suitable for heart.

    There is no urine point in the whole process, all kinds of black humor, and the plot is reversed, and it can't be stopped at all. Of course, there are too many coincidences and unreasonable parts in the story. As an entertainment film, it is extremely watchable. Furthermore, the Korean film system is to dare to black the police, and the police can also eat black.

    There is a serious bug in the plot: since the villain can monitor all the activities of Gao Jianzhu, how can he not find the body.
