What you can't take away, what you can't keep, let the heavy rain erode it

I didn't want to write it at first...

But, I just wrote "The Cook and Play the Ruffian" a few days ago. If I don't recommend "Drug War", I feel sorry for it.
The former belongs to movies that you can watch when you have time, and the latter belongs to movies that you will regret if you don't watch them. What? Seattle? Sorry, it's really not an order of magnitude.

As usual, there are still spoilers, try not to reveal too much.
The following "*" represents foul language, you can make up your mind according to your habits.

1.
The shot is refined, never let you feel like saying, "Oh, why is this shot not passed yet?"

Zhong Hanliang passed the toll station, swept the inside of the car, and cut back instantly, taking care of the two people at the back of the video to get off the car and release the water. Who knows the hard work of the anti-narcotics police after following the suspect all day and night;
the big deaf Guo Tao took a bath and was wearing a bulletproof vest, and the camera flashed by. This is nothing more than an ordinary thing. There is no need to zoom in and zoom in like the way China is moved. It is indeed a life-threatening situation. In
Bohai Port, the ships of drug dealers all go out to sea. Without exception, each ship is stained with the blood of martyrs. The red five-star red flag; the
deaf priests and deaf priests, not burning paper money but real money, the policemen who were watching were just collecting the money, and after a long time, they took out a handful of ten yuan.

2. The
characters have distinct personalities, but they are not facialized.

Don't say complicated adjectives, just say things.

Anti-drug captain Sun Honglei appeared on the stage peeling oranges with only the word "sweet", chatting with drug dealers like nothing else. When fishing for big fish, he was full of pomp and arrogance when he pretended to be Brother Chang, and then turned around and pretended to be Brother Haha in a flash.
Huang Yi's bra is black, I won't talk nonsense.
He never let go of his vigilance against Cai Tianming, and did not forget to handcuff himself to Cai Tianming until the last moment. Accompanying this is exuberant energy, always giving the players priority to rest.
From him, you can smell the smell of iron and blood, and you will be curious, what is his "original intention" in anti-drug? Perhaps it is the permanent departure of a family member, or it may be something unforgettable. Of course, this has nothing to do with the movie itself, but it does have room for imagination.

The drug dealer Cai Tianming has a desire to survive that ordinary people cannot understand. This desire to survive runs through the film, making it impossible for the audience to judge when Tim Mingzai is real. He is always wandering between the two camps. He can show his loyalty to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, "sell out" his apprentice brother's godfather, or he can be unbearable when facing his apprentice and cry while drinking alcohol, or he can turn his back and fight with the police at the last moment. Fight to the death. Cai Tianming is very good at acting, and his heart activities are quite interesting.

At the moment of the decisive battle, the Gang of Seven Hong Kong drug dealers will not talk about it, they are all old people of the Galaxy, and everyone can trust them.
The mainland is not bad either, with one look and one action, no ambiguity.

3.
Tell as good a story as possible without caring about political correctness.

What is particularly gratifying is that although the film has two starkly opposed camps (drug dealers, police), it does not emphasize who is right or right. If you do it, do it. What do you want to do if you have to say a lot of nonsense to tell others that you are righteous?
All the main characters in the play survived, including all the police. Of course I'm curious how this passed the scrutiny, wouldn't it smear the image of the police?

Until the end, the film tried not to give a so-called "accounting" of the so-called high and great greatness.
There are not many movies that can concentrate on storytelling, but the drug war is one.

4.
The lens is realistic.

Realism is plain and simple, not simple. All mainland cities under Du Qifeng's lens are alive. This is a city made up of people, you can smell the smell of people in this city, the smell is not far from you and me.

There is no romantic bells and whistles like blood fog, and the gunfight is lifelike! *!

Whether it is the detailed language of Sun Honglei's drug use (drinking water to induce vomiting and ice water), or the final live broadcast of death by injection, in my impression, it is the first time for a mainland movie.

5.
There are many highlights.

The big deaf and the small deaf have to talk about it, it's too bright. Guo Tao doesn't say, cross talk actor Li Jing, she just made me high, **!
The police have already surrounded the factories with large and small deafness. I thought that there would be only three or two shots to briefly explain, but I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. Even after a fierce battle, the two of them played like beads, and they were outnumbered, and the battle was evenly divided! There was a degree of advance and retreat, Li Jing covered, Guo Tao smashed the tunnel prepared on weekdays, and finally left a bomb for the police, and walked away in a dashing manner, even in the meaning of "This killer is not too cold".

The curious eyes and ignorant expressions of the pupils on the bus added to the tension.

In the final battle between the drug dealers and the police, at the end of the game, Cai Tianming made up a shot by himself.

The whole process is high, *!
