Decided to watch this randomly at the theatres..don't know anything abt it and watching blind.First impressions: the effects and cinematography are insane!!! I was genuinely amazed. The setting is sort of a 90s utopia with amazing scenery. The action scenes were also so intense, good choreo too. As for the story, I sort of get it and also not. The entire plot focuses on the death of the head of a drug business and his sons are sort of clashing because one wants to continue the business while one wants to stop it. We also get to see some complications and power struggles in the business. And I'd say the police are trying to stop the drug supply too but ( spoiler from here ) the main character somehow has gotten ahold of a share of the drugs?? so I'm not sure either. It might be a battle of morality too. ( spoiler ends here ) I think it's confusing because of the plot holes too because some stuff just doesn't makes sense or missing some sort of context..Any bit of information sort of flies over my head too because it switches POVS to other characters alot..there were just too many main characters to keep track of imoIn conclusion, in my opinion if you're looking for a well made movie, this isn't it. The focus was all over the place. Though plus points because the noir vibes of the movie were so strong I really loved it.
Saw this movie today. I originally decided to watch this in theaters because Jun is in this movie, but I also…
It is confirmed to have a sequel in an interview, but Tony said they'll film it in about 3 years. As for Jun, I don't think he'll be in the sequel since it might be focused around The Shadow and the third son.
Is there a possibility of a S2? If there is, how many more years? 1st? 3rd? 5th? 10th?? Or will end just like…
Based on the ending, there will be a sequel. But as I've seen from an interview, Tony said they'll film the sequel I think in 3 years ( if I'm not wrong ) so we gotta play the waiting game once again 😂
Namgil as Hwajin would actually be insane. Imo Get Schooled has an interesting plot but it quickly deteriorated as it updated. Its a cool concept, but he really should have himself the backlash.
I'd like to read details about why and what is considered racist, misogynistic blah blah. These are just buzzwords.…
You can search up details about why its problematic. But its mostly known for being racist because if im not wrong the webtoon has clearly used slurs in it.
may i know where can we watch this movie for international viewers . Is the movie released in theatre or in streaming…
It will release in theatres for international countries. It depends where you are, you should search up the release dates. Its all the way throughout August and September.
For streaming platforms, I'm not quite sure but I'd assume it would be on Iqiyi cuz they themselves produced it.
Oh my gosh...my eyes were all over the screen...the action and choreograph is genuinely chef kiss!! Kept me on edge with all the action. The pacing of the movie is perfect for me. Love the overall production and even the casts because those stunts are insane...! Can I talk about Tony Leung? He was SO ATTRACTIVE in this movie I was fighting the urge to SCREAMM like sir?????? If he stole all my crypto money I wouldn't even report it, steal all you want sir. Don't know how to cash it out? I'll teach you step by step. 😍 The story is your typical police vs the bad guys but oh the backstory and dynamic of the villains is so complicated and intriguing. I assume there would be 2nd part to this movie judging by the ending so I hope they'll dive deeper into the backstory of them. I really liked the father and son dynamic of Tony Leung and the other casts.
Really proud and grateful that Jun got a role with these legends, his stunts are amazing and I still can't believe he got a full fight scene with Jackie Chan!! I hope someday he gets a role as a main villain because goshhh he really needs one!
Not sure why but for some reason the movie is dubbed in Cantonese instead of leaving it as Mandarin for Malaysia's release. It probably isn't a big deal for some people but the audio was just too off for me and it drove me crazy 😂 I hope it will stream on Netflix or Iqiyi cuz I really need to watch the movie again
Update 19/8: Regarding the dubbing, I've found out that it will release it both Cantonese dub and Original Mandarin. So if you wanna watch dub or not, be sure to check the stated movie details at your local theatre :-))
Update 31/8 This is a very late update but ive found out the entire story regarding the dubbing now. The movie is originally Mandarin. Before the movie was released in theaters, it was actually pre-released in mainland china ( if you paid for it ). It did extremely well but had popular demand for a Cantonese version = which is how we have Cantonese dubbing and Original Mandarin. Regarding both of these versions, ive noticed that not both will be released regarding your region. For example, in Malaysia's release, they released the Cantonese version only. But in the US, it was only the Mandarin version. I think what version you get released in your country leans heavily demographically, as in which version they suspect will do better in your country. I believe Malaysia got the Cantonese version because majority of Chinese people here are Cantonese speakers and it was to appeal to them ( and it definitely appealed them. positive feedbacks ).
Nonetheless, dubbing or not. Its still an amazing movie. Highly recommend if you love action movies and want something to get you on the edge of your seat the whole time. And for my villain lovers, this one's for you too. The villains were a whole visual feast!
