Film Evaluation

"King of Killers" has not escaped the category of traditional commercial films. The film failed to achieve a balance between action scenes and character development, which affected the dramatic effect. However, in terms of the original concept and concept, compared with Hong Kong films of the same period, it is actually the most creative and has a far-reaching vision. It should have had the opportunity to break out of the slump in Hong Kong films.

In addition to creating a large-scale and three-dimensional killer world, the film expands the level of traditional killer stories, and also uses technology and history to run through time and space. What's more valuable is that each character has an independent development line. In addition to describing the conflicts and exchanges between people in the main line, the individual growth of each character is also written in the branch line.

Director Dong Wei required the actors to focus on humanistic performances, including the use of live sound recording and unmodified photography, which also allowed Jet Li to regain his grassroots image and present a rare sense of reality on the screen.
