The Game Is Hard to Break

Article/Book of Poetry in Dreams

Based on the remake of the Korean movie "To the End", although "Breaking the Game" has learned The plot of the original work is compact and suspenseful, but it does not make any real innovations based on the original work. It is like a propositional composition that is like drawing a gourd, and it is difficult to regain the original feeling when I first saw it. Stunning, what the movie can only glimpse is the acting skills of Aaron Kwok and Wang Qianyuan.

It is undoubtedly surprising that "To the End" can be remade in China. This is because the original work's dark satire on the police is extremely effective, but when you actually see the finished film But it is also clear that the movie is not set in China, but in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Although this is a clever circumvention of the censorship system, it also makes the movie inherently missing the original work. The real atmosphere in the film, after all, a group of local stars in another country staged a movie that was supposed to show their own corruption and humanity. No matter how you watch it, it is hard to praise.

In terms of the general direction of the plot, "Breaking the Game" is almost the same as "Going to the End". The police bump into people, hide the corpse, reverse, and even in various details, they are all in the same place. Trying to copy the success of the former, the difference is that in "Break?", the film strives to change the style to be less dark and more to fill in a sense of black humor, but this change is consciously It was not very successful. In the situation where there was already an extreme lack of realism, although these changes added a little smile, they also made the movie even less realistic.

The biggest difference between this movie and the former one is the actors. Aaron Kwok plays Gao Jianxiang, who hits someone with his car. Compared with Gao Jianzhu, played by Lee Sun-kyun in the original version, he is less violent and more violent. Steady, overall, there is not much deviation. After all, Aaron Kwok, who has played many police roles, is already familiar with it. Wang Qianyuan plays the villain policeman in the original version. He also has a new interpretation of this role. Compared with the original version, The image is even better, and this can be regarded as the only surprise offered by the movie.

If the story of "Broken Game" is based on the original work of the film itself, then it is undoubtedly worthy of praise. However, as a remake, "Broken Game" does not really break through the original story. There is a certain pattern, and due to the censorship system, the movie cannot even show the charm of the original work.
