"The Silent Witness" is a crime action film released in August this year. After the film was promoted, it attracted a group of audiences, and most of them were more optimistic about the film.
1. The cast is resistant to playing
First of all, the cast of alone makes people look forward to it . The leading roles are Zhang Jiahui , who has won multiple movie stars, powerful actor Ren Xianqi , and popular actor Yang Zi . Zhang Jiahui and Ren Xianqi have performed many such classic Hong Kong films. This collaboration has indeed demonstrated their due strength. Yang Zi did not show too much difference in the scene when the two played against each other. The interpretation of actors The

, whose strength is the pass. Secondly, director Renee Haring is also one of the reasons for the high expectations of the audience. Renee Haring is a director who specializes in action film production. directed Die Hard 2 is his more successful work. It can be said that he has more experience in action film shooting, and the action design of "The Silent Witness" really meets the audience's expectations.
3. comes with the "Hong Kong film" label
and the "Hong Kong film" label of the film itself. With the addition of Zhang Jiahui and Ren Xianqi, "The Silent Witness" inevitably reminds the audience of Hong Kong action film . For a long time, Hong Kong police and criminal films, criminal investigation films and other types of action films have been loved by audiences on the mainland.
4. The plot advances in a chaotic rhythm, and the characters are slightly stiff.
However, the final effect of "The Silent Witness" has disappointed the audience's desires , and its action design does have the smooth and neat action film should have, But in terms of plot and character setting, there are shortcomings that are inconsistent with the actors and production level. When was first released, the film ushered in the first wave of complaints due to such a gap. The start of the game was not played well, which directly affected the subsequent development.
In the film's shaping of the protagonist, the two forensic doctors have been portrayed as awe-inspiring images of "justice" insistence, which seems a bit single. While the protagonist’s psychological changes during the development of the plot have not been realized, the whole idea is a bit rigid and not full and true.
In addition, 's portrayal of supporting roles is also a failure of the film . The robber played by Ren Xianqi obviously had the upper hand in the opening scene, but it was completely downwind when the plot was halfway through. The turning point in the middle was abrupt and far-fetched. The role played by the other two robbers and the security guards in the plot is not very important, but too many shots were taken away. appears to be protracted and slightly out of balance in the development of the plot.
Error grasping the plot rhythm is the biggest shortcoming of this film . After spending too much time explaining the background and depicting too many non-important characters, leads to chaos in the narrative process . and there are some minor problems in logic , for example, the robber "coincidentally" appears when the protagonist arranges everything, and the robber and policeman who has gone through many struggles was forced to lose his mind in such a short period of time.
5. does not hide the flaws, it is worth seeing
These are some of the problems with this film, but it also has its advantages. In the process of chasing the robbers and the protagonist, the tense atmosphere was successfully performed by the lights and the delicate lens movement, and the shots were very appealing. The scenes chased by can be said to be the climax of the film, and it is also the most successful part of the film. The rhythm of the plot development of and the performance of the actors are naturally integrated in these segments, smooth and joyful. The details of
are also very delicate. When the robber learns that he is being teased, the subtle expression changes on his face, the protagonist's subconscious control call when hiding, etc., these details are very good when rendering the scene. Strong infectious power . We have to say that the actor's strength can be affirmed, and of course it can be better, but the actor does not affect the expression of the film.
Generally speaking, this film has its shortcomings, but it also has its advantages. It should be said that it is a film that cannot be killed by a single stick. Although the online evaluation of "The Silent Witness"It varies, but I think it has some personal emotional impact. Although is not a particularly exciting film, it is indeed worth watching. It is worthy of our appreciation in some wonderful places.
