The highest-rated crime film in 2024 is freshly released! After nearly half a year,

was finally released in mainland theaters. Douban directly gave it a high score of 8.7, and the comment section was full of praise.

"Don't let Chen Sicheng see this movie!"

"I haven't seen such a great movie in a long time. "

That's right, he has done a lot of crime blockbusters with excellent reputations, such as "The Three Evils in Every Week", "The Three Brigades" and even "Manslaughter".

It is "Karma".

When I walked out of the theater, I felt very complicated.

I watched the entire movie while holding my breath. I can only say that it was really enjoyable. By the end, I felt enlightened from the inside out. Even if it was a late-night show with not many movies scheduled, I didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Unfortunately, no one really shares this excitement!

It is a global high-scoring suspense blockbuster that has been judged by the public. The theater only echoed with my own exclamation.

This "Karma" really shouldn't be ignored.

This time, let’s take a good look at this large-scale “Bollywood movie” that is enough to shock the audience’s jaws without giving any spoilers.

The large-scale is so exciting that it is so violent that it is “unbearable to look at”

Sure enough, Indian films never disappoint audiences in terms of scale.

Needless to say, we all know that "Karma" mainly tells the story of a father's revenge for his daughter. Coupled with the film's promotion of "evil has consequences", large-scale scenes naturally cannot escape.

To be honest, after watching the R-rated blockbuster " Gladiator 2", I thought that at least I would not be surprised by the so-called "large scale" for a long time.

However, in the middle of watching "Karma", I still covered my face with my hands in frustration, and at the same time I couldn't help but look between my fingers out of curiosity.

is one word -

kills .

That is the fierceness unique to Indians.

There is a sense of déjà vu that once you "see each other", you have to risk your life to subdue the other person with brute force.

has no skills at all, it's not even an "action scene", it's just a pure fight, the kind of thing you do to death.

The "cut in half" section is so bloody that you can't imagine it. The blurry mosaic makes the whole scene extremely realistic and twice as exciting.

For the sake of his daughter, it is not unusual for the male protagonist to do anything.

At the same time, gangsters are not just for free.

In fact, if you know a little bit about it, you can find that the male protagonist of "Karma" has almost no acting experience.

Therefore, the actor has a simplicity that cannot be performed, and he has the feeling of an honest person being cornered when he takes action. All of this makes all the large-scale scenes seem to be natural.

A "coward" who can be slapped by everyone can actually insert a knife directly into a person's head and give the bad guy a thousand cuts.

These scenes will be broadcast directly without coding.

To be honest, I didn’t even cover my eyes while watching "Gladiator 2" (the stills are all released after review and approval by the film studio, and the original uncensored version of this article has been thickly coded) .

As boring as it is at the beginning, the reversal at the end will be as exciting as it is

To be honest, the overall story of "Karma" is very simple.

Moreover, the first part is a bit boring, and I don’t know if some of the laughs are due to cultural differences. I personally feel that they are a bit unappealing to mainland audiences.

Moreover, the introduction of the gangsters and the male protagonist is a bit trivial. At first, I couldn’t tell who was who.

However, when the foreground summary ends, the main scene is thrown into the audience's face unexpectedly, just like riding a high-speed train.

The most exciting part of this drama is its two parts.

First, it is the large-scale scene we mentioned above. I even think it is something that many Hollywood cannot shoot at the moment.

The second is the narrative technique.

Non-linear narrative sounds relatively simple, but in fact, only by sitting firmly on a chair in the theater and seeing it with the naked eye can you truly understand the value of the three words "non-linear".

To put it simply, it is the story of an ordinary father seeking revenge for his raped daughter.

Yes, just one sentence can directly summarize the content of the entire film. If it were presented in a normal way, perhaps the reputation would be hovering on the edge of the passing line at best.

In addition to the audience’s aesthetic fatigue, the mediocre editing will also expose many shortcomings of the film, such as rough logic, relatively flat characters of supporting characters, etc.

But they just chose to put the truth that was about to come out to the end.

Even if you clearly understand that you already know the hidden truth, you will still be emotionally aroused by the constant reversals.

For example, the Indian policeman in the movie, who is full of money and violent and unreasonable, didn't even really want to find a trash can. Instead, he found a new way to make a new one and found a thief.

However, was it really because they "accidentally" selected this top-notch thief?

In order to find a trash can, he "grew" on a chair in the lobby of the police station without even returning home.

not only had to buy food for the police, but was even humiliated by any one of them, and was blatantly slapped one after another, which made me stunned.

In fact, I already feel that this is very unreasonable, but the most awesome reversal is that it can overturn all the previous dissatisfaction of the audience.

What I can tell you is that there are three people in the criminal gang.

From the cruel killing of a thousand cuts to the heart-wrenching fatal blow, it is novel and surprising, completely preventing the audience from being spoiled by leaving in advance.

The previous ones are also small reversals, from the seemingly endless random narrative with hammers and sticks here and there, to slowly several lines coming together. When the timeline coincides with the timeline, the real drama is about to come. .

Every overlapping point will make the audience exclaim, it turns out this person is doing this, it turns out that person is him!

The last big twist instantly made the entire film a god.

In fact, it was after seeing the last reversal that I truly understood why " Karma " can stand out among many revenge movies, and it can burst out huge energy at such a small cost.

With feminism’s forward-thinking and open mind on “rejection of shame”, it is really surprising to see such an extraordinary rise of female ideas in Indian films.

At the same time, there was a mental blow that was a hundred times more torturous than the physical harm. It was an unexpected echo from beginning to end. I really couldn’t help but want to stand up and applaud.

is really awesome.

Even if the overall cast is mediocre and the story is not big, it can still break out overseas. Moreover, such films can also be made in the mainland, opening up the landscape.

Conclusion

In fact, some small plots in the film can be slightly spoiled, but I still hope that everyone can sit in the theater with anticipation and experience this revenge movie for themselves. If any point is spoiled, the excitement will be lost. Color.

Many viewers are making fun of Chen Sicheng's remake.

In fact, the most essential part of "Karma" is precisely the scale that we cannot remake. Whether it is in the plot or in the camera, it is destined to be only suitable for the Bollywood environment.

Moreover, I estimate that this movie will be released in theaters in half a year, and it must have been determined that it will not be selected by a Chinese director in a short period of time.

This movie is not perfect, and the configuration can even be described as "crude", but it is supported by repeated reversals.

Sometimes my palms are sweaty, I frown and my heart is worried, and sometimes I am so cruel that I dare not be intuitive. Such a level is already worth every penny at such a cheap ticket price.

You have to believe that there will always be karma in this world.

If God is too busy, then I will take action.

"Karma", good people may not necessarily have good rewards, but evil people must have bad consequences.
