I'm sorry, I'm the kid who said the emperor didn't wear new clothes

Strictly speaking, the popularity of "Operation Mekong" is an accident and a necessity.


In terms of content, it continues the bloodline of China's new era military-themed films, and the recent "Wolf Warrior" and "My War" are similar to it.

However, the final box office of "Wolf Warrior" was more than 500 million, and "Operation Mekong" was more than 700 million. That's because the schedule of "Operation Mekong" happened to fall in a flock of sheep, while "Wolf Warrior" did not have such a good schedule, right?

Compared with "Mine War", "Operation Mekong" is because the subject matter is indisputable-anti-drug and revenge for the Chinese people are much cleaner than the currently controversial War of Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. There was a problem with the propaganda, so, the same war film, the results were completely different.

As far as the quality of the film is concerned, Operation Mekong can only be described as mediocre.

The fight should be fought, the killing should be killed, and the blow should be blown.

The performance of weapons and tactical action is passable, slightly overblown, but not beyond the scope of commercial films. Other comments have been analyzed and will not be repeated.

The emotional scenes of the characters are just right, there is no sensationalism or promiscuity. Between Gao and Fang, Gao and Yu Ju, even Nezha and Xiaotian, the emotional scenes are rich in layers, but they are as precious as gold. It's a lot smarter to write a war movie as a promiscuous drama.

If you leave the current status of the Chinese film market, you really can't understand why "Operation Mekong" will become popular?

On the other hand, the popularity of "Operation Mekong" actually shows how easy it is to meet the viewing requirements of Chinese audiences.

"Operation Mekong" is actually a qualified commercial police and gangster film, which disappoints the children's shoes who thought that the main theme film can also be prosperous.

    The director tried very hard to make the adrenaline surge, the action scenes were good, and the music in a few places was really exciting, but the literary scenes were a little weak, the rhythm was a little out of control, and the crazy gunfights made people dizzy. This film is adapted from a true story, and has inherent advantages in storytelling and sense of substitution. Unfortunately, the details are slightly scribbled and the characters are lacking in charm. But it's pretty good compared to the movies released at the same time.

    The main theme is combined with the crime genre. The Beijing part is a little weird, but it is still very good to return to the golden triangle. The action scenes are simple and lively, especially the first few action scenes are very good. The director tried his best to show the excessively hot action scenes, planes, speedboats, and heavy weapons were used. It was a very straight man's movie, but it was a little delayed at the back, which is a little regrettable.
