With the hot screenings of "Spirited Away", "Spider-Man: Heroes' Expedition", "Nine Dragons" and other films, the 2019 summer archives officially kicked off. Among them, apart from Marvel's fourth-stage finale masterpiece "Spider-Man: Heroes' Expedition", which won the audience's attention and expectations, it is the Hong Kong crime action movie that was just released on July 5-"Sweeping Drugs 2 Heaven and Earth Showdown" .
The film "Sweeping Drugs 2 Heaven and Earth Showdown" is mainly produced by Andy Lau, directed by Qiu Litao, starring Andy Lau, Louis Koo, Miao Qiaowei, Lin Jiaxin, and co-starring Zhang Guoqiang, Chen Jiale, Wei Shiya and others. The film uses "drugs" as a clue to tell the story This is the story of a battle between the philanthropist and financial giant Yu Shuntian and Hong Kong’s largest drug dealer Jizo caused by the "drug control". The film
was released in Mainland China on July 5, 2019. It is expected to be released in Hong Kong on July 25.
As a sequel, the film "Sweeping Drugs 2 World Showdown" based on the first accumulated audience, not only broke the box office of 131 million on the first day, and beat many movies in the same file. At the deadline, according to the real-time box office of Maoyan Pro The data shows that the current movie has been released for 3 days, the cumulative total box office has exceeded 309 million, more than 140,000 shows, 4 people per game, and the attendance rate of 2.0% is second only to "Spider-Man: Heroes Expedition". Ranked second in the Japanese box office charts.
However, while the box office continued to grow, the reputation of the film gradually declined. Not only did it drop from Douban Kaihua 7.4 to the current 6.3, it also became polarized, and even encountered netizens complaining about the "bad movie with money."
The idea of the film is not bad, such as the discussion of lynching and the legal system, the discrimination of human nature, but unfortunately it was ruined by messy editing, chaotic stories, and facial characters. Even if the action scenes are really eye-catching, the essence of Hong Kong movies is not only that. Andy Lau and Louis Koo's performances are still quite satisfactory, without the slightest surprise, and this role setting and performance method has made people aesthetically tired. .
may have watched "Operation Ice Breaking" some time ago, and left me with a calm and calm plan of the city’s anti-narcotics police officer who was too impressed. In contrast, this time, Lin Sir, starring Miao Qiaowei, can only be listed as "busy." In the series, apart from sometimes catching a few small people by luck, the investigation and evidence collection of big cases seem to be inadequate.
And in terms of ability, the whole plot is that Yu Zetian and Dizang are secretly operating, and undercurrents, but it was not until the incident surfaced and the two people confronted each other before he ran out to balance left and right. Using the authority of the police to control the two major forces, the main role was not played well. Looking at the family relationship line again, Jiang Meiyi was killed first, and he used many shots to describe the process of raising his young daughter and growing up, but in the end, suddenly this line suddenly broke, and it seemed a little headless.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the subway racing in the film is indeed novel and creative, but it feels that the plot still lacks logic and details, and the gunfights are also messy. Sometimes there is a lack of recognition between the characters, and a character has been misunderstood. Becoming another role, or even other stars who didn't act in, watching the whole movie feels mainly supported by the actor's name.
All in all, the story of the film is simple and not solid, lacking the intense flavor of a police and robber contest; the characterization is too facial, and the portrayal of each character is a little bit superficial and unsustainable; too many literary dramas are very formal and cannot make people. Moved, on the contrary, it was a bit deliberately embarrassing; and the original action scene was supposed to be the highlight of the whole film, but it was not too brilliant, which made the whole movie slip into mediocrity.
believe that many people will choose to watch it because of the lineup of Andy Lau, Miao Qiaowei, Louis Koo, or because of the wonderful look and feel established by the previous "Anti-drug", but in fact, the film is not as good as expected. I personally do not recommend it. Watch it in the theater.
