Film evaluation

The story of the film is very simple, and the popular point is to oppose killing and revenge. Movies with this philosophy as the theme are not uncommon, but it is a pity that it is difficult to attract widespread attention at the box office. The stylistic treatment of "Even the wisest man is foolish" is a brand-new attempt by Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui to synthesize on the original basis.

Everyone has a galaxy image style, such as the detective shooting process with moderate action, such as the action pursuit scene with strange variations, such as the irresistible fatalism all the time. And Du Qifeng's past "hero trio" urban martial arts. For example, a martial arts expert who has the magical power of shrinking bone loach can compete with big shots in modern stations and buildings (comments by Wei Junzi of Netease Entertainment).
