With the strong attack of "Spider-Man: Far From Home", the 2019 summer file has gradually kicked off.
Not only did the film break 100 million in pre-sales, it became the third single-player superhero movie in the mainland with a total pre-sale box office of over 100 million after "Venom: Deadly Guardian" and "Captain Marvel". The film broke the 223 million box office on the first day of the screening, breaking the previous single-day box office record set by "Venom: Deadly Guardian". Now, the film has been released for another 5 days, and the box office data with a total box office of more than 800 million soars, becoming the most powerful box office harvester in June, and also a good start for the summer season of 2019.
Now, at the time when "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is being screened, a Hong Kong crime action movie "Unbeaten Kowloon" is coming, once again making the restless summer archives more attractive to the audience and avoiding many fans from falling into The troubled situation of shadow famine.
The film "Unbeaten Kowloon" is written and directed by director Chen Guo, starring by Zhang Jin, and starring Anderson Silva, Zheng Jiaying and others. It is a criminal action film that mainly tells Hong Kong’s exploration of Kowloon (Zhang Jin Acting) A series of stories that happened during the investigation of a bizarre female police serial murder case. The film
was released in Mainland China on July 2, 2019.
Although the development of Hong Kong films in recent years seems to have entered a bottleneck stage, they are still emerging. There have been "Ip Man Side Story: Zhang Tianzhi", "Anti-Corruption Storm 4", "Chasing the Dragon 2" and many other conscientious masterpieces worthy of second brushing. Although it is not as exciting as the previous Hong Kong movies, it is full of highlights and endless aftertastes, but at least it can evoke the memories of many viewers of Hong Kong movies. So much so that when they learned that Zhang Jin joined hands with another new film "The Nine Dragons" after "Ip Man Side Story: Zhang Tianzhi", many fans expressed their expectations, and the film even achieved the first hit before it was shown.
Unfortunately, after the film premiered on July 2nd, the film's box office was down for a while. As of the deadline for posting, according to the professional real-time box office data of the Maoyan version, the first day of the film’s box office was only 6.89 million, accounting for 8.8% of the box office, more than 50,000 shows, 17.4% of the shows, and 4 people per game. The 4.0% rate ranks third in the Japanese box office chart.
In addition to the sluggish box office, the film also failed to gain audience recognition and praise. I was even complained by netizens at the moment of watching movies, "Every minute is suffering."
It is undeniable that if you ask me if Chen Guo is a good director, I will answer yes without hesitation. However, he is very interested in commercial action movies. I’m afraid it’s still 30 years ago. If you’re a fan of Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s, this soundtrack is hysterical, martial arts and punches to the flesh. It also comes with a clut fan of "Unbeaten Kowloon" with a full ending. Could be your cup of tea. However, if you can't stand, careless plot, jumpy rhythm, chaotic editing, crazy and excited characters, curious and inexplicable narration, then I don't think you need to go to the theater to waste this time.
Because, when I walked out of the theater, I was still stunned. At first I thought the film was an undercover police film. However, after the beginning, I thought it was a suspenseful police film. But after halfway through the movie, I suddenly painted The wind changed and it became a unique fantasy police movie in the world. The price of a movie is to see four types of police and criminal movies...At this moment, after I watched it, my favor with the former director Chen Guo has long since disappeared. At the same time, I also expressed regret for Zhang Jin's efforts and performance in recent years. He is obviously a potential stock, but every time it is a script for the bad street here, it is completely self-destructive.
In short, the whole film feels like a waste of old Hong Kong actors such as Lin Xue, Wu Yaohan, Wu Dairong, Zheng Jiaying and Li Lizhen. Moreover, the reason for the villain's evil in the whole movie is the same as the joke, and the detective's method of solving the case is the same as playing. The ugly and unknowing narration, two half-naked men entangled in an unesthetized fight, exaggerated stunts, embarrassing and sour-faced sections one after another, every minute made me want to hide my face and escape from the theater. The director and screenwriter are you sure that such a movie is serious?
