Andy Lau versus Liu Qingyun, one is the top idol faction and the other is the top strength faction. This pair should be a winner-take-all partner. As far as the film is concerned, the cooperation between the two people is also very harmonious. Andy Lau's idol temperament is too heavy. Although this film has no important acting skills, it always prevents him from entering the role, while Liu Qingyun's acting skills are good, but the role is not very hard, so the two people reach a balanced state in the film.
The best part of this film lies in the screenwriter. In many other films, such as Gunfire and Dark Flowers, Du Qifeng's directing skills to create a cold atmosphere have not been fully exerted, but the intensive and colorful scriptwriting techniques have become the most eye-catching part of the films. Everyone knows that Andy Lau's revenge will be successful, but the reward is not as brave as the old-fashioned martial arts movies. Extraordinary wisdom, accurate calculation, public speculation and calm execution are the key. At this time, the film presents a bridge design that can only be seen in the heyday of Hong Kong film. Unexpected and reasonable, wonderful and self-evident, is really the key to the success of the film.
