Recently, with the hot screenings of "Galaxy Tutorial", "Nezha's Devil Child", and "Heroes of Fire", the 2019 summer program officially kicked off. Among them, among the many hot films, the most popular is the Hong Kong police action that was just released on August 7 except for the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Child", which has a cumulative gross of 2.7 billion. Film-"Apostle Walker 2: Operation Bourne".
The film is mainly directed by Wen Weihong, with the three major actors Zhang Jiahui, Louis Koo, and Wu Zhenyu starring. The plot mainly continues the theme of the first "finding undercover", interspersed with the emotional lines of brothers and feet, telling the audience A pair of brothers who have been separated for many years, met because of a crime, and the two are in different camps. With the deepening of the crime investigation, the story of a terrorist organization that has been hidden behind the scenes for many years has gradually emerged. The film is currently in theaters in mainland China.
As of 14:11 Beijing time, according to the real-time box office data of Maoyan Professional Edition, the total box office on the first day of the film’s release was 72.142 million, and the combined box office (10,000) was 7,193.55, which accounted for 29% of the box office. The number of filmings was 129,720, and the filming accounted for 34%, 16 people per game, and 12.1% attendance data in the daily box office overwhelming multiple movies in the same stage, ranking second in the daily box office list. At the same time, according to the prediction of Maoyan professionals, the film's final box office is expected to break through the 10 mark.
But unfortunately, while the film has made a lot of money at the box office, the film’s reputation has been polarized, and even some netizens once questioned "What the hell does this movie express?" It was even worse for some netizens. Commented that the film is "not worth mentioning."
In recent years, Hong Kong films from "Chasing the Dragon 2" to "Sweet Drugs 2" to the currently hit "Apostle 2" are all rubbing against the IP of the first film, and each one says nothing to do. , Relying on several movie stars, luxurious cast, supported the box office. The plot of the story is nothing new, and the plot is getting more and more outrageous. Shootouts on the street are just as normal as eating. There are obviously gun fights, explosions, and all kinds of things. The drivers still rush forward without fear, and they don’t brake. Yes, the slots are really endless...
Not only that, but the elements of gunfights, explosions, and drag racing in the film can indeed attract the audience, but the audience will also be aesthetically tired. I don't think it is too much to describe a good hand that is so poor. To be honest, for this one and a half hour movie, I felt like sitting in the cinema for three hours. At the end of the day, the only thing I thought about was "I am a scum ash, my brothers come to chew on me". In fact, there have always been expectations for Hong Kong movies, but such expectations may gradually become less and less. Finally, this cow is the protagonist, right?
Compared with the previous Hong Kong movies, today's Hong Kong movies are always gambling, drug trafficking, and catching ghosts. The imagination of the past has long gone. But even catching the inner ghost is not good enough. At least there are multiple reversals in "Apostle Walker 1". When it comes to "Apostle Walker 2," it becomes naive and ridiculous, without the slightest surprise or suspense. You can guess the ending when you see the beginning. The identities of Cheng Tao and Jing Jinxian were revealed too early, and it was too easy to guess. Moreover, the inner ghost always has difficulties, and it is always the bad guy who threatens him with his family. He must obey. This kind of plot is still old and has no bright spots.
In addition, what I want to say is that the literary director said that his transformation of undercover Hong Kong movies was based on the Mission Impossible approach. This is actually quite right, but the fate is that Hong Kong movies will never abandon themselves. Obsession with "brotherhood". This thing is not bad, but its sensational tone is hard to beat, which itself is contrary to the Mission Impossible. Various slow motion close-ups and constant lyrical shots make people fidget. The most deadly thing is that this kind of sentiment seriously squeezes the efficiency and density of normal narratives, leading to supporting actors and underground groups outside of brotherhood. The Hong Kong Special Counter-Terrorism Department and even the counter-terrorism story itself have become a foil for vague and vague words. It is a pity that the creation of the wrong key points.
In short, to the author, it seems to me that I just watched a flamboyant Indian action movie, and I just missed it. Obviously it is a "iron triangle" that cannot be established in a duo drama. Wu Zhenyu's role is meaningless. He even lost it when he wrote it, and then wrote it back in a special way. The first half of the film is still a spy film with clichéd stories but normal thinking. The second half of the film completely releases itself.The reversal of volume and the repeated bombing of incredible action scenes, the ending climax is chaotic to the extreme, and the design surrounding the running of the bulls can be described as a lot of jokes.
ps: I went to thunder, I suggest you don't watch it...
