Drug War (2012)
way too long and way too messy
22 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
the screenplay is way too long and way too messy, with too many abrupt twists but at the same time way too predictable. too many characters way too pretentiously acted like drug dealer haha, this kind character is nothing but a clown who's not convincingly owning 70 fishing boats, guy like him is like Eric Tsang, a short fat actor often playing underworld boss or don that was absolutely impossible for a guy in the realistic world to get on top and to become a terrifying gangster boss. so a guy like haha, a clown and A+ jerk, nor could be possible to be such fearsome rich and powerful drug dealer. it's a joke to have such character in this vicious world of drugs. the film is way too long that dragged out and dragged along in cars, trains and warehouse. the final gun battle among the good, the bad and the ugly, only showed how stupid and lame the narcotic police force is and no wonder all the main characters of the narcotic team are killed. also, never saw any narcotic cop would drive a RED sedan following a drug transporting truck from south to north so close and those two guys, even overdosed so much, would not have spotted the following vehicle behind them. the scene after the truck crashed into a pile, so many cars stopped there and the scene became so confusingly messy and clueless. there are so many scenes way too pretentious to convince a viewer like me.

this is a very pretentious and flashy film, quite serious and action packed but at the same time, never allowed the viewers getting the chance to get connected deep enough.
