"Lin Zhen'an, you can't escape this time!"
"Really? I want everyone to die, no one will be left alive."
I was attracted by this sentence in the trailer and walked into the cinema.
What kind of character dares to speak so wildly to the police? What story combines elements such as police and robbers, anti-narcotics, action, and crime?
movie "Stealth", it's coming!
If you think about it carefully, the last time I saw Andy Lau playing a villain was in the movie "The Disciple" 16 years ago.
Audiences who are familiar with him know that Andy Lau does not easily try such roles, so the film that allows him to break through himself again must be well prepared.
No, now "Stealth" is officially launched, the box office of exceeded 70 million on the first day, and the popularity continues to soar. It seems that we must serve a hard dish for this New Year’s Eve!
Some viewers said after watching it:
"It is a police film with a strong Hong Kong flavor. The fighting scenes are of a consistently high level, and the writing and drama are beyond expectations. It opens up a new world of Hong Kong films in the continuation of classics."
" The times are developing rapidly, and the inheritance of Hong Kong films has also found a new direction."
It can be seen that the audience is quite satisfied, so how did "Stealth" open a new door for Hong Kong films?
01 Breaking the conventions of traditional anti-narcotics films, with hearty action scenes
"Stealth" tells the story of the hidden dark web becoming a new hotbed for drug trafficking, and a batch of drugs weighing several tons secretly arrived in Hong Kong.
The well-known lawyer Lin Zhenan (played by Andy Lau) is a successful person externally, but internally he is a behind-the-scenes drug lord code-named "Boss". How will the police face the most powerful opponent in history?
I have watched a lot of Hong Kong-style anti-drug films, but this new work can capture the hearts of the audience. In my opinion, the main reason is one word: cannot be established without breaking.
First, a breakthrough in subject matter
The movie breaks away from the shackles of traditional anti-drug films and focuses on the innovative live broadcast of drug trafficking.
Andy Lau said in the production special: "A few years ago, a dark web drug trade was broken, and we used that case."
How to show online drug trafficking? An app, tons of drug links, and adding them to the shopping cart with just a click of a finger seem to be no different from today’s online shopping.
And this is where it gets really scary when you think about it.
What impressed me most was the online confrontation between the police and drug dealers and hackers.
attack and defense.
Timing and technology.
Unexpectedly, the Internet war is no easier than reality. It also makes young viewers more aware of the dangerous traps hidden online.
Second, a breakthrough in action scenes
"In terms of action, I want to be more realistic and give people a more desperate feeling."
Action director Qian Jiale's idea was actually filmed.
Peng Yuyan, who is in uniform and seductive, plays with punches and fists, and moves smoothly.
Especially in the scene in the wine cellar, there were broken red wine everywhere, and it was hard to tell whether it was the color of wine or blood.
The sound of glass exploding and the sound of hitting flesh complement each other. The screen is filled with violent aesthetics, which is so heart-wrenching to watch that your heart is about to jump out of your throat.
It can be said that "Stealth" is a rare movie that uses a new angle to shoot an anti-drug story. It not only satisfies the viewing experience, but also has the meaning of warning the audience to stay away from drugs and cherish life. It is too watchable.
02 Andy Lau brings a sense of contrast, and the villain drug lord is full of tension.
The plot is certainly important to the success or failure of a movie, but acting is also the key to reputation.
As soon as the name "Andy Lau" came out, most of the success was actually achieved.
What's more, his acting skills in the movie this time exceeded , which is obvious to all.
Andy Lau once again challenges the villain. The character Lin Zhenan is so handsome that it almost makes people lose sight of him based on his facial features.
Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he is gentle and elegant. He treats his wife very gently, and the love in his eyes cannot be hidden at all.
But who would have thought that such a person is a crazy drug lord?
"Either take your place or die."
When Lin Zhenan knew that his brother had discovered his secret, the ferocity in his eyes made people shudder. Are there any other alternatives to
? No.
criticizes people like him, and anyone who stands in the way will die.
The only weakness in his heart is his wife and daughter. However, Lin Zhenan's wedding was disrupted by a vengeful drug dealer. His wife died unexpectedly, and his premature daughter's life or death was uncertain in the intensive care unit.
"Please pray to God and she will be fine."
Even the police can threaten her. The arrogance and arrogance in her bones make my scalp numb.
It's a pity that good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and Lin Zhen'an's daughter still failed to persevere.
Having lost everything, he attacked the family members of the police indiscriminately, and even kidnapped the wives and children of his good brothers. When he saw the other party begging for mercy, his eyes showed the madness of sharing the same fate.
"Then who will let me go?"
went crazy, really went crazy.
But villains like him inevitably have a complicated side to human nature.
Xiu Hao, played by Lam Jiadong, is his only friend and an undercover policeman who has been by his side for many years.
"What can you do to me, friend!"
Arrogance, collapse, resentment, sarcasm, and some grievances after being deceived by brothers, a series of complex emotions were vividly performed by Andy Lau.
"I can give everything to the people I care about. I want them to give everything to the people who betray me."
This is Andy Lau's unique understanding of the character.
Now I finally understand why Liu doesn’t play villains easily, because it’s not common to see flesh-and-blood, real, scary, and distinctly layered villains like Lin Zhenan.
As soon as the actor makes a move, he will know if there is any.
And what is the ending of the character Lin Zhenan? I won’t spoil it for the audience here, just to keep the suspense.
But please believe that Andy Lau will make you cry again with his acting skills this time.
Conclusion:
A must-have movie-watching experience during the New Year’s Eve period.
The reason why "Stealth" can attract the attention of the audience is that it is both well received and well-received.
On the one hand, it comes from the excellent quality of the content itself. Whether it is literary drama or fighting drama, it reflects the sincerity of the creative team.
, on the other hand, allows the audience to truly see the progress of Hong Kong films, which is not to rest on its laurels, but to dare to try new angles and directions and break traditional routines.
In fact, the feelings of Hong Kong movies in the hearts of the audience have never faded, they are just waiting for a good movie to come.
Now Andy Lau joins hands with powerful celebrities such as Peng Yuyan, Lin Jiadong, and Liu Yase to stage a dangerous police and robber battle. After watching it, I just feel happy in my heart.
Movies are currently in theaters. It’s a masterpiece you can’t miss on New Year’s Day. Book a second copy!
