abstract
Iowa (Andy Lau), who has only four weeks to live because of cancer, robs financial companies, takes diamonds and takes hostages. Asheng (), who has just been transferred as a non-governmental part-time negotiator, rushed to the scene to persuade Iowa to surrender. A Hua threatened to run away after playing games with A Sheng for 72 hours, and A Sheng was deeply indignant. In the process of escape, Hwa met a police roadblock, so she wanted to kidnap Ating (Yoyo Mung) as her lover, so that she could hide her eyes and ears and escape from the danger. They met unintentionally and left a deep impression on each other.
The 72-hour game started with a screw that Ahua sent to Ah Sheng. Ah Sheng broke into a financial company at night, only to be taken in by Ahua. It turns out that Hwa has been watching Ah Sheng and using Ah Sheng's business plan to rob Chen, the mastermind behind the transportation company next door to the finance company. Hua used his life to transfer the tiger on the mountain, pretended to be Chen, got the jewelry from Chen's men, and then fled the scene. A Sheng found in the investigation that Chen smuggled jewelry many years ago and betrayed Ahua's father. Ahua came back from England to avenge her father's death. In order to bring Ahua to justice, Asheng can't deal with Chen by promising to cooperate with Ahua. A disguised herself as a man, used the wisdom of A student to get a huge sum of 20 million yuan from Chen, and then absconded with jewels. Chen was arrested by the police because of Hua's trick to steal the column. A Sheng waited in the car, but was cheated away by Hua. The next day, the Children's Cancer Foundation received a donation of 20 million in the name of He Shangsheng.
Three years later, A Sheng met A Ting by chance on the bus and saw A Ting wearing that priceless jewel necklace. It turned out that Ahua gave Ating the necklace as a fake. Asheng didn't want to tell the truth, so she let Ating remember this romantic relationship all her life.
short review
The film stars Andy Lau and Liu Qingyun, and is written by Julien Carbon and Roland Gao Diao. The story arrangement is quite wonderful. Before the finale, the audience didn't know what Andy was playing. It's just that clever trick of stealing treasure, which is not convincing in reason. Du Qifeng, the director, performed well in this film and made many interesting details. The "love affairs" between the two protagonists and Yoyo Mung and Huang Zhuoling are well reflected. Generally speaking, this film is very interesting, and it is a typical * * * and martial arts film. This is also one of the representative works of Hong Kong director Du Qifeng. Later "Dark War 2" obviously failed to catch up with this film.
