In addition to the few popular films and the few withdrawn films, the Spring Festival file is coming to an end, and there are new films participating in the war. On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, "Breaking the War" starring Wu Zhenyu was released, how do you evaluate it? It's not a comedy, but it makes people laugh. There are many Hong Kong movies named after the word "war", such as "Cold War", "Fierce War", and "Drug War", but the word "broken" in the title of the film is to shake the old bottom for the audience in advance, and the quality of this film is really broken. First of all, it must be emphasized that although most audiences have not seen this movie in cinemas, it is not exactly a network university. At the opening ceremony of the film's 19th year, a banner was also displayed to emphasize that this is a "theatrical movie". 
Is it in theaters? It's really on, but the box office on the first day is only 190 thousand. As one of the few movies released simultaneously on the theater network, "Breaking the War" is unwilling to only be a network university, but it can only meet the audience as a network university, and the quality is indeed only at the level of a third-rate network university. Let's talk about a joke before talking about movies. In the information interface of the film, there is such a sentence in the "Behind the Scenes": "In order to create more accurate characters, Cheng Yuanyuan ** a large number of classic Hong Kong police and gangster films". 
Only those who have seen the movie know how funny this sentence is. Because Cheng Yuanyuan is playing a vegetative person in the film. It's enough for me to laugh for a month. Back to the movie itself. "Breaking the War" should have created a new film genre: paste movies. 
It's not "rivers and lakes", it's not another word, it's just "paste", which means that the film is disorganized, upside down, a mess, and a mess. When I **, the score of the film was not displayed due to the lack of number of evaluations, and as of the time of writing, Douban has opened the score. Douban 34 points. 
Wu Zhenyu has made a lot of bad movies in his acting career, but there are only a handful of them that are so bad. Of course, this has to be "attributed" to the screenwriter and director of this film, Peng Fa. The Peng brothers back then were also well-known figures in Hong Kong films, editing and editing were first-class masters, directors, and they also made horror masterpieces like "Ghosts". But times have changed, Peng Fa is no longer the Peng Fa of the past, he has been diligent in making bad movies in the past two years, so I don't want to call him Director Peng Fa anymore, let's call him a haircut. Because Fazi harmed the audience once last year, he also cooperated with Wu Zhenyu, ** called "Trapped Beast". 
It's not an exaggeration to say that "Trapped Beast" can be selected as my top three worst theaters in 2023. "Trapped Beast" is bad, one is that the story is messy, and the other is that there are many loopholes. In the first ten minutes, I was completely confused. The story line is interspersed with chaos and chaos, the background explanation is vague, and the characters appear in a mess. A clear and simple story, a popcorn movie that should be very straightforward. is crammed into a large number of irrelevant characters, places, and departments, coupled with unbelievably messy editing, which finally makes the film's story immersion extremely poor, making people look at it in a fog. 
The story of "Trapped Beast" takes place in an overhead city called "Tiger City". Criminals frequently commit crimes, and the police do not exist, especially in the airport battle scene at the end of the film, the two groups of people fight for an unknown amount of time, and no policeman comes out to support. It's not that the police don't know, because the message was provided to the male protagonist by the police. This is an airport, not a suburban factory warehouse, how can it be so bullets and bullets that they are fighting around and acting recklessly, but the police are silent? There are also too many kidnappings and murders in the film, and the criminals have never been brought to justice, as if nothing happened. Tiger City is simply a Chinese Gotham. 
But even though "Trapped Beast" is extremely bad, I still have to say that it is even more watchable than "Breaking the War". The premise of "Trapped Beast" is that it can at least be brought out for discussion, and the main body of the film can still see that it is rotten, with edges and corners. 
"Breaking the War" is different, this is already a work, so bad that people don't know where to start, and that's exactly what I mentioned above, this is a paste movie.
Repeating the same old tune, "Trapped Beast" is to build a "Gotham", and this time it is to directly create a "Batman". Judging from the filming time, in fact, "Breaking the War" will be earlier. But it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes after, in short, Fazi was really obsessed with "Batman" during that time. 
It's a pity that I thought it well and finished it very poorly. A "Trapped Beast" and a "Breaking the War", this pair of "Gotham" sister chapters are indeed so bad that they can't be worse. Like "Trapped Beast", "Breaking the War" is also a complex shot of a simple story. The story is so simple that it can be summed up in one sentence: a man avenges a woman and uses lynching to get justice. But when you actually watch the film, you will find that the original 86-minute movie, the director even spent more than half of the time to lay the groundwork.
This directly leads to the fact that when I was in **, I looked at the fragments of a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and I didn't know what to do at all.
In other words, in terms of perception, compared with its police attributes, the film is more suspenseful. From the beginning of a boss being threatened, the company's stock price was turbulent, to the arrest of a madman who abused animals and people at home, and the collapse of the tofu scum engineering building, the case of missing people, the case of robbing ambulances, the case of kidnapping children to bomb schools, and the case of high-level corruption...
These cases of "lynching justice" are true or false, and only some of them were done by "Batman".
To briefly summarize the director's intention, while laying down suspicions and interfering with the police, it also makes the audience feel a sense of suspense. But here's the problem, the director just brought out the cases one by one, but didn't give the audience a reasonable explanation. The boss played by Lin Xue was threatened, what did he do back then? What happened in the end? I don't know. What is the intention of the ** madman who locks others up at home and abuses them? The tofu scum project caused the building to collapse and many innocent people suffered, I don't know what the truth was back then. What is an ambulance robbed for? Why did the person who was killed deserve to die when he planted a bomb at school? ยทยท None of this has any cause or effect.
If "Breaking the War" is made into a TV series, and these plots can be refined little by little and the characters are full, then there may be a head. But a mess like this is simply a waste of the audience's time and a "murder for money". In addition, the character trends of Liao Qizhi and Ren Dahua, two powerful actors in this film, are also surprising. The family doctor played by Liao Qizhi always shows a mysterious smile.
I've been waiting for Uncle Zhi to have some play, what is hidden in his unpredictable smile? But I never thought that in the second half of the story, this character seemed to suddenly disappear and was no longer visible, until I finished reading the staff list, and there was no easter egg to explain. Is his role really a family doctor? So what is he laughing at mysteriously? Ren Dahua's role of Bai Sir makes people's fists tighten even more - he wants to hit someone.
A lot of details were used in the process, and the high-ranking police officer had problems and may have been corrupt. After confronting the subordinates played by Wu Zhenyu, he directly identified his identity as a black policeman. At the end, the classic ICAC ICAC arrived late to arrest Bai Sir, but Bai Sir was not there. Click, that's it. Nope. Where did Bai Sir go? What happened in the end? What did you do? Still don't know. Compared with Bai Sir's outrageous treatment, Tang Wenlong's interpretation of "Batman" is not far behind.
Guess how the evidence of his crime was discovered? Is it ** who finally found evidence to arrest him through clues and ups and downs? No, he was reported by his girlfriend. That's right, reported by his righteous girlfriend. It was reported by his girlfriend, who was originally in a vegetative state and woke up after five years of careful care. All the previous story developments and character plots became jokes in an instant. Because as soon as the time comes, the righteous girlfriend wakes up, finds the evidence of "Batman's" crime in the basement and then reports it, and the whole story is over.
In other words, the police are meaningless, and all previous cases are meaningless. From the perspective of the play, this is the creator who has swept the audience. Such a "Breaking War" is no longer only a bad movie, it is simply a tumor. The audience not only watched a bad movie, but was teased for 90 minutes. Looking at the box office of more than 50,000 yuan in "Breaking the War", I don't feel deserved, I just feel distressed. I feel sorry for the more than 1,000 fans and friends who have paid the money and have to be tricked.
