The suspense of "hook"

The 2013 South Korean film "The Watchers" was adapted from the 2007 Hong Kong film "Stalking Eye in the Sky".
The Hong Kong version of the original tends to truly show the tracking work, while the Korean version maximizes the drama of the story.
After watching the two versions, I personally like the Korean version, which is more interesting in appearance.

The two films were produced 5 years apart. Of course, hard skills such as photography and special effects have been improved a lot, and the drama of the script has also been qualitatively improved:
1. The novice character of the heroine "Huazhu" has changed from being silly to being aggressive. Taking the initiative, using the mobile phone as a weapon to fight against the bad guys is so handsome!
2. Joining the "Squirrel" corner of Sunshine Boy is not just to please the audience. When the squirrel is killed, it will definitely stab the audience's heart!
3. The domineering appearance of the female head of the room, the ambiguous actions of the male squad leader, and the slightly hinted Loveline add to the fun of the drama.
4. A lot of the original novel's boring branches have been subtracted, making the plot smooth, and the drama and rhythm have been significantly improved!

What's more unfortunate is the blackening of the shadow master, which makes the shadow's character less human and three-dimensional.

And what I have to say is the ending... I owe the essence!

If you allow me to adapt it, the "hook" element of the original book must be retained at the end...

"After the rain, the flower pig will follow the shadow!
The flower pig followed the shadow into the subway, and the head of the female room immediately asked for support, and the squad leader, who was seriously injured by the shadow, gave instructions on the phone.
On the underpass of the railway, the shadow found the pig, took out the pen as a weapon, and chased the pig! The
head of the female room reported a critical situation, and the support team entered the tunnel to chase

after him. "Hang Hook"... Huazhu
slapped the hook off while running away, and the moment of clapping with the squirrel flashed in his mind. When the
shadow approached, "Hang Hook" Reverberating, just hit, and cut his carotid artery, just like when he stabbed a squirrel!
Shadow fell to the ground, the pen in his hand fell off the rails, and was run over by a passing train.
Huazhu stopped at the entrance of the tunnel to look back, and the support team rushed to arrest the shadow lying in a pool of blood.

The last was the funeral for the squirrel by the police. The squad leader told a joke in front of the squirrel's tomb..."

The "hook" is a response to the proposition of "Heaven has eyes", the essence of which needs to be preserved.
The reason is "people are doing, God is watching", saying that God is on the side of justice, and is more "dazzling" than individual heroism!

    Except for the ending, Korean movies like crime are pretty good-looking.

    Thinking back to the past, I finished watching "Tracking" at UME in Hangzhou Xicheng in 2007. After walking on the road for a long time, I vaguely remember where the sun was big that day and where I was going, but I changed the place temporarily. It’s been almost seven years, and it’s really amazing if the movie also tracks it. Almost consistent character settings and task arrangement, but still feel very good-looking.
