Huang Zhengmin and Li Zhengzai staged a showdown. Is it awesome or bad at home?

The epidemic caused the global film industry to slump. It's time to cheer up (frighten) the paralyzed heart with violence and action. Korean films that are good at making ice and ice should shoulder this heavy responsibility, but throughout 2020, Korean films have not produced any excellent films.

The last movie scored 8 points or ministers of Nanshan, and the expected "Alive" starring Liu Aren and Park Shin Hye scored only 5.6 points, totally sorry for Liu Aren's title of best actor. "A trip to Busan 2" failed to continue the reputation of the previous work, and the gap with the first one was like a Himalayan mountain. The more disappointed I am, the more I look forward to it, and the level of Korean movies will not be so high, so "Save Me from Evil" came with the task of rebuilding my prestige.

Starring Li Zhengzai and Huang Zhengmin, cold-blooded killer, transnational pursuit, human trafficking, organ trade ... with an extra stunt, the explosion points are dense. Two tough guys are really handsome under the decoration of bloody violence elements.

Huang Zhengmin, who plays cold-blooded killer Rennan, plans to retire after taking his last job and enjoy life in Panama. But disaster is attached to this last list.

Lei (played by), the younger brother of the assassinated man, avenges his brother and vows to kill Ren Nan and anyone related to Ren Nan. There is a lot of pen and ink describing their indifference in this film. As a killer, Ren Nan didn't ask the reason and the victim's situation, so he didn't even know that he had a cruel butcher brother, because his cruelty also led to the tragedy behind him. As for thunder, it has a leopard-like animal charm. Strong, elegant but cruel, his favorite game is to put on a plastic blouse, hang the "prey" upside down and gut it.

Partly because he fled and partly because his ex-lover was killed, Rennan left his hometown and went to Thailand to find the whereabouts of his daughter. However, I was surprised when I learned that my daughter had fallen into the hands of a Thai criminal gang, which was famous for abducting and selling children and organs. Korean children are the most popular in their cages. Rennan's daughter was just bought before his hind feet landed.

Rennan found Thailand's "tour guide" You Mei, a transsexual who has not undergone surgery. She led herself to the wolf's den to find her daughter. There, they saw innocent children detained, some people's organs removed and deep scars on their stomachs. Ren Nan is sexy and angry for a cruel person for the first time. When he resisted the pursuers, he did not forget to remind You Mei to take the child out. With tenderness, the iron man is not far from death because he cares more and more.

On the one hand, he should be a runner to deal with the revenge of his enemies, and on the other hand, he should be a tracker to track his daughter's clues. The role of Ren Nan tells the balance between the career of retired killers and family ties. How to touch a child's face with a bloody hand? In the film, he asked his companion: What should I say when I see the first side of a child? Killing people like hemp, he doesn't know how to get along with people, especially children. At the same time, the primitive instinct inspired by the family made his armor softer. After escaping from ray, he knew that his daughter was still there, and he was desperate to welcome him back. He lost the calmness and carefulness of the killer, was hit by a knife, and finally died with Ray.

Rennan finally died, but the title of the film has the word "save". For Ren Nan, the murderer, he was born to die, his body perished, and he realized the eternal life of the soul in his family. This redemption is thorough and more meaningful than his listless life in Panama.

This is the excellent point in connotation, and then talk about the shortcomings of this film.

Huang Zhengmin and Li Zhengzai staged a tough guy duel, but the duel was still not exciting enough. Except for the first tit-for-tat, they all ended up in the stereotype of gun battle, lacking a battle scene that better reflects the character and characteristics of the characters. This is a game between butchers to fight violence with violence. There is no weird atmosphere, no exquisite layout, no sharp movements, only uncomfortable visual violence and no aesthetics.

In addition, the motives of the characters are also very weak. Ray and his brother are kindred spirits, but they can resolutely pursue the murder after his brother's death, just for the blade in their hands. Before, there was no such thing as blood being thicker than water. Revenge is more like a killing game of "seeking trouble". Killing for the sake of killing people has no purposeful guidance.

Rennan is not much better. She was separated from her lover for eight years. Her lover called for help, but she ignored it. She looked heartbroken, but after learning that she had a daughter, she was able to become a Buddha, lacking emotional review, transformation and sublimation. Motivated, she is as far-fetched as a robot who has accepted the instruction of "protecting her daughter".

"Help me" currently has a score of 7.2, which is appropriate. It's not as wonderful as the Minister of Nanshan in those days, but it's also better than A Trip to Busan 2, which has become a strange game with more diverse characters and a description of human nature in which darkness and light coexist.

Of course, the appeal of the two leading actors can't help but contribute. However, I think from their ability, their performance in this work can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

What impressed me the most was actually the role of You Mei, a woman disguised as a man, whose costumes and performances were very eye-catching.

The "coquetry" when chatting up, the avoidance when disgusting, the fear when being questioned, the expression is rich enough and the emotion is touching enough, which deduces the role and beauty of a marginal figure to greater value. Killers have love, laity has love. You Mei originally just wanted to have an operation. Naturally, she is a woman, but she participated in the killing chase. But she was very excited, cursing and directing her benevolent man while holding the child nervously.

Why do you want to set such a transgender role? Probably to add some comedy jokes and dilute the smell of blood. It may also be that she wants to use her identity as a transition between men and women to express the state of people in the film. Rennan must seek stability, and Lei must seek revenge. At the same time, the advantage is that You Mei's masculinity, or bravery, and femininity, or motherhood, have been properly combined. It can not only show the softness of this person, but also show her strength. At the last minute, she was ordered to leave with Rennan's daughter in her arms and go forward crying. She used to be just a passer-by, but in the end she took on the heavy responsibility of saving another fragile life.

Generally speaking, there are advantages and disadvantages, and they are not creative and delicate enough in performing drama and portraying the protagonist, but the supporting role makes up for some defects. At the moment when the film is dying because of the epidemic, it is good to have such a work.
