The race between justice and pleasure

This kind of cool film of happiness and revenge makes people addicted to watching it! The underworld boss played by Ma Dongxi can be said to have a firm grip on his temperament, and it feels a bit like a true performance. It is the contrast of this kind of iron man's tenderness that makes people unable to help but say it again. And such a triad, despite being involved in gambling and violence, still makes people hate it. So much so that later, in order to echo procedural justice and to make a better ending, the director asked the police to hit the boss with the car and snatched the murderer, but this always made me, who didn't know the truth at the time, feel angry and felt better than the boss Not to be reconciled, or even to spit the police for not obeying the rules, obviously the boss has already caught the prisoner, how can they be robbed like this.

A targetless random perverted murderer, a manic policeman, and a boss who was accidentally stabbed by a murderer. The boss first wanted to find the murderer in order to save face. The policeman was on the one hand for promotion, and on the other hand, to prove that he was also trying his best to track the murderer. As for the murderer, it seems that he kills for the sake of venting and seeking pleasure. Although the film also mentions that he was abused by his father when he was a child, which led to the current perversion, but the film wisely does not focus on this point. Entanglement, because it is just to arrest the criminals and bring them to justice, or let the boss fight violence with violence, the conflict between the two is already very interesting.

To say that Koreans dare to think and make up, actually let the police and the underworld cooperate to arrest criminals. The police use the manpower of the underworld, and the underworld uses the technology of the police. These are all normal, and the most interesting thing is the relationship between the police and the underworld that is both cooperative and competitive. Whoever catches it first gets it. In fact, this point is that the police are completely at a disadvantage. Only three police officers are involved, while the underworld gangsters are dispatched by hundreds of people, and they are the main force in the search for murderers. Under such circumstances, the police have no chance at all. But for the sake of the plot, all of this can be ignored. As the audience, of course, we watch the fun and don’t think it’s a big deal. I hope the boss can catch the murderer and punish him. Besides, the boss is not bound by the law by default, and what is the dignity of the law and what is the procedural justice? Any human rights order can be ignored. Anyway, this is just a movie. When the boss punched the killer in the face, and then directly broke his leg with a steel pipe, the killer cooperated and let out a paranoid and perverted laugh, which made people feel that all these punishments were so acceptable. At this time, if the murderer behaves pitifully, the effect may not be so good. It should be said that this is a complete victory of sensibility over reason, that pleasure completely overwhelms justice, and that it is a carnival regardless of social consequences.

And in the end, it's the most interesting part of the movie. If the movie ends like this, it seems to be complete, but at this moment, the police unexpectedly crossed in, hit the boss directly with the car, and snatched the murderer. What's even more ironic is that when the police triumphantly captured the murderer, they did not expect to face interrogation and prosecution. Except for a knife, the police could not produce any decent evidence to identify the murderer. In the face of the rampant ridicule of the murderous man, in the face of his provocative description of the feeling of stabbing the knife into the flesh, and correcting the order of the murder of the victims by the police, the police were really at a loss. However, what is even more interesting is that the police again came to ask the boss to testify. The boss is now wanted on charges of gambling machines. At first glance, it is a contradiction that he will be arrested when he appears in court. In fact, it seems to me that his external career has come to an end. Anyway, it is a chance to shuffle the cards and start over. The request was "I'm going to be in the same prison as him". So, when justice was powerless, Kuaiyi appeared again and saved the society. At this time, I didn't feel that the boss was so righteous and awe-inspiring, because at this time he could only live in hiding outside the prison. Instead, it was his domineering and convincing that something happened. When he got off the prison van and the prisoners in the whole prison bowed to him and called him the boss, it was a bit of a bloody feeling.

Great movie, worth watching!
