Starting from "Sanchakou" and "Father and Son", Aaron Kwok's acting skills seem to have found a focus and become natural and smooth.
Since "Rescue Mr. My", the "bad guy" played by Wang Qianyuan has also become a school of its own and is very exciting.
Therefore, is still very interesting when these two movie kings gather together for a crime action movie and perform on the same stage.
"Broken Game", a remake of the Korean movie "To the End". As a dark-themed movie about police corruption, it is actually quite difficult to think of more brilliant. Without him, just talking about the standard, Korean movies can be more open.
Therefore, the background of the film was changed to Kuala Lumpur.
twists and turns of the plot
Aaron Kwok played the bad policeman Gao Jianxiang, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he seemed to be possessed by gods, and troubles continued. The mother of
passed away. On the way to the mourning hall, there was a traffic accident and the accident escaped.
managed to dispose of the corpse, but discovered that this person turned out to be an important clue to a major international drug trafficking case.
thought that he could erase the traces of a traffic accident without knowing it, but was called back to his original form by a mysterious phone call from a self-proclaimed witness.
Whenever he has just solved a problem and feels relieved, a new problem will be thrown out immediately, which makes him scorched and makes the audience sweat. The story of the film advances layer by layer, one after another, not tortuous and difficult to understand, but it is better than the tight rhythm.
The masked villain
If Wang Qianyuan plays the kidnapper Huazi in "Rescue Mr. My", he is fierce and vicious, and it is daunting. So, Chen Changmin, who played in "Broken Game", is more disgusting.
, a policeman wearing a white suit and holding a white silk paw in hand, colluded with the underworld, sold drugs and killed people. Compared with Gao Jianxiang's petty fights, it can be said to be a big evil. On the contrary, likes to posture, arrogant and arrogant, always with a kind of "cat play mouse" like evil taste.
likes to touch Gao Jianxiang's buttocks, with an insulting sexual suggestion. Humming the song "I'm waiting for you to come back..." which is commonly used in horror films, gives a strong sense of oppression. And when he beat Gao Jianxiang, the exaggerated "meow" made people scared and trembling. The addition of
with kissing the back of the hand, deliberately prolonging the tone when speaking, always making wild and harsh laughter, etc., all make this character plump and three-dimensional, but also make him more detached from reality. His existence is more like a symbol, an extreme villain. This person
did not explain the ins and outs and social background. His several appearances were all for the sake of Gao Jianxiang, which gave people a sense of lingering spirit. From this point of view, Wang Qianyuan's performance was very successful, and he did not repeat the previous drama, which is surprising.
The complexity and choice of the small person
Gao Jianxiang is an ordinary Kuala Lumpur policeman, a small person in the corrupt system, with a human nature, cowardly, selfish, timid, and cautious in collecting black money, for fear of catching fire.
Almost every step of his choice is driven by the plot, unable to be autonomous, but reasonable. You think he is timid, but he can hide the corpse in the coffin in order to avoid guilt; you think he will be at the mercy of others, but he can set up a plan to kill, without any mercy. This person
is very smart, and he can be bold and cautious when pushed into the corner. In Chen Changmin's words, he is a talent. However, what he encountered was a Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed, and he could only escape from life in danger. The value of
is his ordinary character.
He is not a policeman with a sense of justice. On the contrary, he will collect black money, drunk driving, hit and run, and kill people. When things develop out of control, his first reaction is to protect himself and cover up the truth. But on the other hand, he has good intentions and he has a bottom line in his actions.
He bullies the soft and fears the hard, bluffs. In front of the traffic police, he showed his might, even when he first saw Chen Changmin, he was still dragging him. It wasn't until Chen Changmin was beaten wildly that he began to show his embarrassment. There is a scene in the film
. After Chen Changmin escaped from the dead, he came to Gao Jianxiang's house, where the two fought to the death. During the whole process, Gao Jianxiang was suppressed, but it was not that he had no chance to fight back. It was just that his first reaction when he saw Chen ChangminIt's fear, just like a mouse caught by a cat. It can't move and can only shiver. Only when it is about to be crushed by one of its paws will it explode its survival instinct.
Compared with Gao Jianxiang, the police colleague Liu Hao played by Yu Ailei is much simpler. If Chen Changmin is synonymous with evil, then Liu Hao, who has sacrificed himself for others, can almost be called great good.
This, once played the kidnapper in "Rescue Mr. Wu", and Andy Lau several times back and forth, now working with Aaron Kwok, acting skills are equally good, is another surprise of the film. The most recent impression was that in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", Yuan Zai, a villain who is used to meeting the wind, played the role and face of the villain, which is hateful and disgusting, which shows the wide range of play.
black humor
Compared with the Korean version, the biggest difference in "Broken Game" is the addition of absurd elements and black humor. This is definitely due to Guo Tianwang's performance without idol baggage. In the
film, there are three places where Aaron Kwok's performance is sad and cute, which can be called the highlight of the film.
Gao saw Xiang hiding the corpse. In just a few minutes, he thought of a sure-fire plan, and then cleverly and hurriedly carried out a series of harassment operations, which is simply an indicator of IQ.
set up a bureau to kill Chen Changmin, thinking that when the strategy succeeds, the villain will be able to make a meme directly.
dealt with Chen Changmin at home and did not dare to confront directly, so he had to climb the window in twists and turns. In the end, he was stunned when he was caught upright, which made people angry and funny.
Naturally, as well as the director's painstaking attention to name. For example, Gao Jianxiang, who seems to have seen "Xiang" every day, and Chen Changmin, who is so rampant that he wants to get a punch, and the very meaningful film title "Po·ju", only those who have seen the movie can Understood.
By the way, after admiring the stars when Aaron Kwok embraced the huge money, there are still colored eggs behind, don't miss it.
