"Dark War" is on fire!

Yes, it's really hot.

Probably because, in this era, the feelings of Hong Kong films have not been completely wiped out by those shoddy and bad films. Old Hong Kong films can be said to be entrusted to the youth and childhood of many old movie fans.

In fact, on the Internet, many people sigh with emotion, why the old Hong Kong movies back then are quite good movies when viewed now.

But why are the current Hong Kong Island movies so bad?

At this time, "Dark War" was born.

In fact, as early as the preparatory period of "Dark War" was publicized, many people had their eyes on this film.

Without him, old Hong Kong movies, whether Hong Kong movies can really be revived, many people are actually not optimistic, after all, the times are different.

But at the same time, many people still hope that even if Hong Kong films cannot be revived, at least those good impressions of Hong Kong films will not be wiped out.

As a result, "Dark War" did not disappoint. On the contrary, this movie, it can be said that anyone can see the strong taste of old Hong Kong movies.

But at the same time, this is not a dog-tailed sequel, nor is it a shoddy Hong Kong Island gangster movie, but a typical Hong Kong Island gangster movie with full sincerity!

To paraphrase the slogan, this "Dark War" makes many fans of the old Hong Kong film era feel that it still has the original flavor and the original formula.

Yes, "Dark War" has always been labeled as a Hong Kong movie!

Of course, publicity is also essential!

Perhaps it is because there are indeed very few Hong Kong films that can be sold in this era, especially police and gangster films, which have been criticized even more.

Therefore, this time it is rare to come across such a wonderful Hong Kong-flavored police film as "Dark War".

After the box office of "Dark War" came out on the first day, many people were taken aback.

138 million!

This number, perhaps for those super blockbusters, is not too high.

But you must know that "Dark War" is a gangster movie. Many people may say, haven't gangster movies always been mainstream commercial movies?

Compared with those action blockbusters, this box office is average, right?

But in fact, looking at so many commercial blockbusters, in fact, strictly speaking, they are not gangster movies, but more spy movies.

In fact, the box office ceiling of gangster films has never been too high.

As for Hong Kong Island movies, the 138 million on the first day of "Dark War" is definitely enough for Cao Meng to be proud.

More importantly, the reputation of "Dark War" is almost bursting.

Audio-visual network scores more than 9 points! Many people even scored 10 points directly!

As for the media and film critics, this time is also rare, and almost all of them are well received.

This is unprecedented for Hong Kong Island movies. After all, in the past few years, no, it should be said that after the new century, Hong Kong Island movies, unless they are literary movies or commercial movies, which one has not been sprayed by others? It became a money-making work.

Oh, of course, not all Hong Kong movies are like this, but at least most of them are!

And after many Hong Kong island filmmakers went north, they rarely make Hong Kong-style gangster movies anymore, because they found that if you don’t pay attention to gangster movies, it’s really hard for the audience to buy them.

The box office of "Dark War" on Hong Kong Island exploded even more, with a reported box office of 6.5 million on the first day, which is really flying.

For Hong Kong people, "Dark War" is definitely a long-lost Hong Kong film full of Hong Kong flavor!

The editor-in-chief of Film Biweekly, Li Zhuoyong personally wrote a review for "Dark War".

"Romantic duel of masters, romantic love, romantic Hong Kong Island police film "Dark War"!"

That's the title Lee Cheuk-yong gave his review of the film.

"The once glorious Hong Kong Island movies, gangster movies, and gangster movies are topics that can never be put aside. Among the Hong Kong Island gangster movies, because of the historical reasons of Hong Kong Island and the special process of social development, the Hong Kong Island gangster movies have always been, They are different from mainland gangster movies. Hong Kong island gangster movies usually have a masculine romance, which may make people feel that the plot is not rigorous enough, but this is a unique feature of Hong Kong island gangster movies.

"Dark War" reminds me of the once famous "Peerless Two Heroes" on Hong Kong Island. It is the same soldiers and thieves. Romance is a bloody romance. The two of them, a soldier and a thief, end up fighting hand in hand. Even though they both died in the end, they wrote a bloody romance that belongs to a man!

"Dark War" has a strong taste of old Hong Kong movies, but the same "Dark War" is not that kind of old Hong Kong movie, it is also special.

As far as the subject matter is concerned, you can tell from the name and cover that this is a typical Hong Kong Island police and gangster film. Cao Meng never deliberately creates tension, but the ups and downs of Cao-style gunfight movies have always appeared invisible. The rhythm is fast and slow, as if it is never under your control, and the plot is complicated and confusing, it seems that it is never as you think.

At the beginning of the whole story, there are no subtitles, no music, only crisp footsteps, which makes people curious and flustered. Hua Tsai was told that he had only four weeks of life left, "I think this is the last time we will meet" and "It's just this life" A simple sentence, full of helplessness, but extremely free and easy, only four weeks of life left In life, instead of waiting peacefully for the final silence, it is better to come to the splendor before the sunset thoroughly.

Hua Tsai wanted to avenge his father, so he designed a well-thought-out plan and skillfully got He Shangsheng, a master in the police circle, into the game. The two are equal opponents, and even confidants who are once in a thousand years. Hua Tsai's first move was to make a slap in the face that ordinary people can't see through. He intentionally kidnapped the manager of the finance company in a high-profile manner, attracted the police from the entire Kwun Tong district, attracted the attention of Sir He, and cunningly escaped in front of everyone. Others thought this was a mad robber, only He sir saw through his plan, he was seeking his own help in disguise.

Facing an opponent who came to challenge him, how could He Shangsheng easily admit defeat. "If you can bring me back to the police station, you win." Even though He Shangsheng was calm and alert, his opponent was always superior. He let the bait escape three times, and He Shangsheng couldn't swallow this breath in his heart. That's why he said to Hua Tsai in the cafe, "Give you a minute, come up with a reason that can convince me to cooperate with you". Unmoved by all kinds of temptations offered by Hua Tsai, but irritated by the sentence "You are like a police dog led by my tail". He continued to finish the game of chess.

Some people may think that He Shangsheng is acting out of passion. He is a policeman, how can he do such a thing of "cooperating" with the thief and "negotiating conditions"?

But it is precisely because of his impulsiveness that he has this "Dark War"!
