The film Negotiator is a typical Hong Kong-style gangster film, directed by Qiu Litao and starring Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu. The film unfolds in the mode of confrontation between the two heroes, telling the struggle and cooperation between the two protagonists inside and outside the system. The following is an analysis of the film from different angles:

1. Cast and performance: One of the highlights of the film is its strong cast, including familiar faces such as Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu, whose performances add a lot of color to the film. In particular, Wu Zhenyu's performance, his role is complex and rich in levels, which fully shows his disappointment and anger at the system. Liu Qingyun's performance in key scenes is also impressive, showing the character's anger and helplessness.

2. Plot and rhythm: The plot of the film is attractive, and although there are some shortcomings in rhythm processing, it has maintained a high appreciation as a whole. For example, the blackening process of Liu Qingyun's role is not sufficiently prepared, which affects the credibility of the role. However, in the process of showing the two protagonists against the evil within the system, they still maintain a high sense of tension and dramatic tension.

3. Social reality and system criticism: The film is not only an exciting police film, but also a profound reflection of social reality and criticism of the system. Through the establishment of the confrontation system between the two heroes, the film conveys the profound thinking and criticism of social reality, shows the complaints against all kinds of injustice in the real society, and continues the spirit of traditional Hong Kong films.

4. Action drama and visual effects: Compared with the excellent performance of the plot and characters, the action drama of the film is unremarkable. Although the director has made efforts in action design, the overall effect is not outstanding, which weakens the appreciation of the film to some extent.

5. Detail handling and nostalgia: The film is very careful in detail handling, for example, the handling of the background sound after the death of Ka Kui Wong Li Hanxiang and the flash of the MV "Kissing Goodbye" all add a lot of nostalgia to the film. This treatment not only increases the cultural thickness of the film, but also gives the audience an emotional song in the process of watching the movie.

To sum up, Negotiator is a film that combines action, plot and social reflection. Although there is still room for improvement in some aspects, on the whole, it provides a good viewing experience for the audience with wonderful actor performances and thought-provoking plots.
