"League of Thieves" is not about the story of a group of thieves united to overcome difficulties and get money back. This is not an exception. Compared with Hong Kong movies back then, the story of the thief often develops different stories from several directions. "League of Thieves" is more like a revenge story under its branch, with puns. Its protagonist Park Macau’s father was killed by Wei Hong that year. Wei Hong’s wealth is strong and powerful, so he can only get revenge through a tear of the sun. Leading him out of his real body, another small branch is to report to his recovered partner Bobby in order to grab the woman and money of Park Macau’s woman and cut the rope to cause Park Macau to break his leg. The whole movie is a scene, and the scene in the scene is just a scene. It is the gathering of different people and their own ghosts, and the emotional entanglement between them.
To admire such a huge context, directors, screenwriters and actors must come to a consensus. In addition to the Korean stick's ridicule of himself in the play, as well as the slightly flawed Chinese kung fu and gunfights, it can be seen that this Korean film is well-made and has international ambitions. It’s worth noting that, after deliberately observing the table of actors behind the scenes, except for the martial arts coaching who is not sure, all the behind-the-scenes team is Korean.
The same plot content and the ups and downs of wits movies have appeared in Hong Kong movies more than two decades ago. The revenge film of betrayal and counter-betrayal, Chow Yun-fat Andy Lau and other famous Hong Kong actors have also participated in it. Nowadays, we have to look at the crooked Korean uncle and the middle-aged woman with a messy facelift. It is also a sad thing.
In the relationship line, Jun Ji-hyun and the Korean boy are my favorite. Jun Ji-hyun, the flying rope woman, is the most complete portrayal in the whole movie. The mother-daughter relationship with chewing gum seems insane and heartless but has her own cleverness. Even the strange behavior of meeting the curator again at the end is so cute. Before, there was a "My Savage Girlfriend" that brought the trend of Korean romance movies, but now this "League of Thieves" can bring action? Business? The trend of movies, but it seems that Korean movies are currently going to be played internationally. One Jun Ji-hyun is not enough, wait and see.
