After "The Disciple", I saw Gu Tianle playing a drug dealer. As shown in the poster, the movie is completely about the showdown between him and Sun Honglei, the two movie emperors. My favorite Du Qifeng~

Looking at Du Sir's film career, "Drug War" is definitely not excellent, except for the continuation of the precise and unusual character walks and the gunfight layout, in terms of style, it is not as good as "Gun Fire", in terms of emotion, not as good as "release" ﹒ Chasing", in terms of plot, it is not as good as "Wenque" and "PTU", maybe because it talks about the police and the mainland, in a mainland city that is very tasteless and uncharacteristic, the film level instantly makes a big difference, and because there are too many movie characters , distracting the audience. However, the film has a different good start. He brings the cold and rigorous style of Galaxy movies to the mainland audience. Although the subject matter seems familiar, he uses the compact director to make the mainland out of the blue. After all, the police and bandits in Hong Kong The highest level of film!

I don’t have much to comment on. This film is just a decent Du Sir work. The climax of the shootout at the end should be the essence of the show, but it is full of flaws in the chaotic movements and chaotic and hypocritical performances, set in the 1990s. , I believe it is very exciting, but unfortunately it is now in the 21st century... It is far from the meticulous and interlaced foreshadowing of the first half, which is very regrettable.

To add a sentence at the end, this film is only one word different from "Cold War", which swept the Hong Kong Film Awards at the end of last year, but it is really a few levels higher than the latter. Such a compliment for a crappy film.

Feeling general, do not recommend, do not collect.

    Jinhai (Tianjin), Ezhou (Wuhan), Yuejiang (Zhuhai), Du is good at photographing spaces with water, even if the red flag of Dagang flutters. The inland selection of the previous work at high altitude is indeed unaccustomed to the soil and water. A high-speed rail runs through the core of the story, the image style of the black image is skillful and consistent, and the personality of the propositional composition does not disappoint. The police and criminals are intertwined in multiple lines, they fight their wits and courage and their acting skills, and the Hong Kong and mainland compete secretly, reflecting the current delicate political psychology.

    "Drug War" is not a very galactic film. It is reminiscent of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" by McDonnell and the McDonnell Brothers, as well as the beast director Huang Zhiqiang's style, arranging the climax of the crash and shootout in the back, and the audience does not You must be patient, Guo Tao and the "big deaf and small deaf" are amazing. I was thinking that after a large number of police died, the General Administration will issue a rule that domestic police and bandit films cannot contain guns and ammunition. I love Huang Yi, four-star recommendation, ha ha!
