There is such a Hong Kong police film with low ratings. It was originally assigned to Johnnie To to shoot, but he didn't have a schedule, so he handed the script back to the film's young screenwriter Liu Haoliang, and it became his directorial debut.
Everyone says that Hong Kong movies have been on the decline since the turn of the millennium. No matter how the times change, directors of Hong Kong movies can never let go of the "cop plot".
Because of this, almost all Hong Kong police and gangster films in recent years have not received high scores, unless they are particularly innovative or highly popular works.
Naturally, the "cops and gangsters" I found like "Assault Trucks" did not have high scores. It only scored 6.7 on the review platform.
But after watching this work, I suddenly realized: 6.7 points are too low. This work can at least get a score of 7.6.
This setting is just a police movie released in 2015, which caused the rating of this work to be infinitely lowered.
The story of "Assault Truck" is not amazing. It mainly tells the story of a "big brother of the underworld" who was released from prison after spending 16 years in prison. After he was released from prison, he was still the "big brother of the underworld" Ah Fa. Years of isolation prevented him from keeping up with the times. Instead, he was determined to do something big: convert a minibus into a police assault vehicle and pretend to be a police officer to carry out robberies.
In order to achieve this goal, Ah Fa rediscovered his "good brothers" Ah Bao, Ah Du and Ah Dong!
Ah Fa is played by Ng Chun-yu, Ah Po is played by Simon Yam, Tam Yiu Man plays A Du, and Cheng Haonan plays A Dong!
The four brothers have different personalities. Afa's interests come first and he is greedy. A Bao is a perfectionist and pursues perfection even when committing crimes. A Du has the mentality of a "rich boy" and is severely mysophobic. A Dong has a "classic thug" personality: he understands nothing and knows nothing. , what the brothers say, what he does.
Four people with different personalities came together and became a group of "stupid thieves". They began to pretend to be policemen and rob, but they met a group of real and vicious robbers "pretending to be policemen".
The two sides started a contest, and in the end the group of extremely vicious criminals were defeated by the "Four Guys".
Judging from the plot, this "Assault Truck" really doesn't seem to have much highlights: four criminals with kind hearts met a "policeman who only pursues justice", and then met A group of extremely vicious gangsters.
Under the influence of the righteous police and the conscience of the four stupid thieves, they defeated the real gangsters together.
However, the "brotherhood" reflected in "Assault Vehicle" is enough to make up for the lack of plot in "Assault Vehicle".
If you are a friend who has watched Johnnie To's "Gunfire Trilogy", you will be particularly touched by watching "Assault Truck"!
It is obvious that the director of "Assault Truck", Liu Haoliang, is paying unlimited tribute to Johnnie To's "Gunfire Trilogy" and using his own way to make up for the "Gunfire Trilogy".
In addition to "Gunfire Trilogy", the subsequent "Gunfire Trilogy", "Exile" and "Revenge" all have tragic endings!
And "Assault Vehicle" uses its own "comedy way" to give the "four-person group" of the "Gunfire Trilogy" a good ending!
"Assault Vehicle" may be to make up for the difficulty of settling the "Gunfire Trilogy", so to a certain extent, it pursues a good ending for "The Four Stupid Thieves", which leads to falling into a cliche.
If the final outcome is that the four people die together with the vicious gangster, then maybe this "Assault Truck" will really carry Johnnie To's banner and be enough to become the "follow-up" to the "Gunfire Trilogy".
However, the comedy ending of "Assault Truck" can be regarded as making up for the "tragic ending of gunfire", giving the audience a new "expectation and psychological comfort".
"Assault Vehicle", a typical good work suitable for men!
