A good director must have his own style. How is the style interpreted? If it is interpreted as a rule, if there is consistency in the narrative structure and rhythm of the appearance, and even the traces of the actors' performances, then this director is not a good director, and the exported movie will not be remembered even if it looks good . This film and Director Du are unfortunately such a director and such a film. A good movie is not necessarily an excellent movie, because there are very few audiences with professional appreciation ability, and the public's taste is ordinary. As long as the artists give them what they want, they will be satisfied, such as violence, Abuse, pornography, etc. If you give a little different taste to the niche on this basis, then the master will appear. That's it, exploiting the loopholes, exploiting the loopholes of art and the public, on the one hand, the money is used on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also makes some fame. In my opinion, most of the directors in Hong Kong for the past 20 years are friends in this way.

    1. Johnnie To is licensed; 2. It is relatively natural for actors from the mainland and Hong Kong to blend in, and reliable directors do not allow actors to perform badly; 3. Lin Xue Qiren Gang, He Liansheng ("Lian" in the subtitle), etc., have consistent galactic fun ; 4. The Hong Kong Gang to the North Drift can be used as a follow-up to the "underworld"; 5. Hong Kong is beautiful, the mainland is more realistic than freehand; 6. In view of the fact that Lao Du has always been mainstream in the mainstream reputation/scoring in the past, he will get one more star

    No benevolence, no morality. The film itself has a lot of room for interpretation, including many conscious hints. But just from this ending, it is already worth the score. Not only is it a reversal, but it also deepens the theme and characters, so you can't help but recall some of the previous plots. The fatalistic sense of Johnnie To's movies has been planted into the context of mainland police and criminal movies. It is rare to see such a tragic battle between police and robbers.
