The bloody duo starts in the church and ends in the church.

The killer Xiaozhuang is a mature brother Xiao Ma, another extreme. On the one hand, he is ruthless with guns and guns, and on the other hand, he accompanies Jenny with tenderness. At the first moment, he raises the gun sharply to kill, then calmly sails away, and the next moment to save The little girl did not hesitate to commit danger with her body; faced with the betrayal of her friend, he chose to forgive with heartache, because he was a nostalgic person; and sympathized with the police who represented justice with the mission of catching thieves. In the Phantom of Light, it seemed to see a killer who had misplaced the age, with the idiot of A Fei in Gu Long's writing, and the righteousness of Li Xunhuan.

The life and death of others are in his "finger", and his own life and death are all in his "heart". The iron-blooded and tender little Zhuang, the righteous and dry little Zhuang, the calm heart is bound by feelings, it is impossible to retreat all over the body. The killing was successfully completed but his identity was also exposed. He did not leave and insisted on taking it back. 1.5 million reward, because he is going to the United States to heal Jenny’s eyes. Jenny is a singer who accidentally injured his eyes when he killed someone last time.

In Jenny’s house, the sympathetic police and gangsters didn’t want to startle Jenny, and they worked together to keep Jenny in the dark; at the airport, Jenny fumbled and shouted for Xiao Zhuang to leave; the friend who had betrayed him in order to let him take Jenny away smoothly, pretended to be crazy ; Uncle Zeng desperately traced their hiding place and told Officer Li by name. We were moved by the true love.

In the church, a friend who had betrayed him came as scheduled and did not live up to his expectations and trust. He was happier than Li Xunhuan, and he was only betrayed by a friend once. Then the employer followed. The killer Xiaozhuang and Police Officer Li, who represented justice, joined forces with the employer to start a fierce gun battle with the employer. The gunpowder was filled with smoke, the white pigeons were everywhere, the statue of the Virgin shed tears and collapsed in the flying gunfire, and Xiaozhuang was also destined in the end. He hurt his eyes and left with hatred. A killer like him is destined to end in a sad end. The cold-blooded and human warmth of killing for money cannot coexist peacefully with one person for a long time.

Fa Ge's language, actions, expressions, eyes, and smiles in this film are in the realm of transformation. In the restaurant, he killed people, crashed into him, turned around, shot in one go, and moved beautifully and exquisitely. Faced with Jenny playing the piano, staring, turning his eyes, and lowering his eyes. The three actions clearly explained his complicated mentality. Leaning against the wall outside and watching Jenny leave, smoking, sighing, and losing face would make him apologetic. The feeling of cherishment is undoubtedly revealed. No words are needed. Fa Ge's eyes and mouth movements are words. When killing Wang, Xiao Zhuang sat on the boat, slowly wrapped the silk scarf around his left hand, drew the gun up, raised the gun, aimed, lowered, listened, turned his face, and slammed, condensed in the superimposed sound of drums. Become an absolute classic. It can be said that Fa Ge, only Fa Ge, only Fa Ge's temperament, actions and expressions can vividly interpret Wu Yusen’s violent aesthetics. Only Fa Ge’s sentimentality can be convincing, and only he can cast chivalrous warmth on Jianghu movies. color.

    An urban gangster vendetta movie with a strong oriental martial arts color, John Woo's violence and aesthetics have been improved to a certain extent, and the handling of the action scenes in the shootout is as elegant as a martial arts movie, no wonder he can form his own set of aesthetic styles , If you know that there is no complete script when the film starts, and the director wrote it while filming, then your admiration for John Woo must arise spontaneously. Although John Woo's action movies in that era were basically the same commercial routine, it can be seen that he has been deliberately seeking innovation and changes. The shot scheduling in this film has a feeling of moving closer to Hollywood movies, whether it is composition, The color is still the soundtrack, which is at least five years ahead of other Hong Kong filmmakers, especially in the final church scuffle. The message of "anti-war and peace" conveyed in the violence is really ingenious. The acting skills of Chow Yun-fat and Li Xiuxian were forced out of the time. limit.
