Behind the scenes

In Dark War, Andy Lau plays a psychopath, which is his first time as a villain. In this film, Andy Lau first tried to disguise herself as a man. A (movie) fiasco

In the film, Andy Lau takes a taxi in Liu Qingyun and takes out the M 19 1 pistol from his clothes, but the bullet when he shoots from the window is M92F pistol, and the bullet when Andy Lau returns to the car is M191pistol. In the film, when Andy Lau first met a policeman on a bus, the license plate number of the bus was 7737. After passing the police checkpoint, Andy Lau got off the bus and changed the bus license plate number to 9363. When the woman who met Andy Lau on the bus got off at the next stop, the bus license plate number was changed to 4328. Background of behind-the-scenes production and creation

Dark War has obvious reference traces. The film was inspired by Kevin Spacey and Samuel Jackson's film Negotiator, but the story has been completely localized. The script of "Dark War" continues the simple structure of Du Qifeng's work "Gunfire". Du Qifeng specially invited two Frenchmen, Julien Carbon and Laurent Courtiaud, to join the screenwriter, with Qiu Naihai as the film coordinator.

Actor modeling

Because the perverted killer played by Andy Lau in this film wants to pretend to be an "old man", director Du Qifeng specially invited a makeup artist from the United States to shape Andy Lau into a "perverted old man". The old man made up for more than 20 hours. He first put on a headgear and turned Andy Lau into a "bald head", and then transplanted some hair on Andy Lau's "bald head" with makeup technology.

The film does not have the chase and stunts that are common in police movies, but the two protagonists are fighting wits all the way (Sina. Com comments). There is a type of police film, in which clever policemen set off smarter thieves, because victory is more valuable only if you confront the master. The confrontation between police and bandits in the dark war belongs to this category. In the film, Liu Qingyun and Andy Lau, an elegant man with answers, and a smart man with vivid images, have an extremely interesting confrontation. In the confrontation of intelligence, there are always winners, but in the confrontation of acting, it can be described as a win-win situation (Time Network Review).

Stills movies are fast-paced and have the color of Hollywood gunfight movies. Especially depicting men? The friendship between the police and the robbers is not the first or the last, but the ups and downs of the plot, the jokes completely different from "nonsense" and the faint love story that is not directly announced on the surface make this movie more enjoyable. Although there is love in the dark war, it has been diluted. The struggle between gangsters and police, and the complicated relationship and emotion between men are all the reasons why the film makes the audience nervous during the viewing (Netease Review).

The dark war is the beginning of Du Qifeng's balance from art to commerce. The film is played in an intellectual game that seems to be deliberately designed. In the film, Liu Qingyun and Andy Lau obviously appreciate each other's situation. This movie made Andy Lau finally break through the bottleneck of acting when he was approaching middle age (Tencent Online Review). The robber played by Andy Lau in the film is bent on revenge for his father, even though he only has life around him. The film doesn't show Andy Lau's "coolness" too much, but the wit and a little cynicism in Andy Lau's eyes appropriately reflect the characteristics of this role (Netease Review). In the film, Liu Qingyun plays the negotiator He Shangsheng, and Liu Qingyun's restrained and steady acting makes He Shangsheng a masterpiece of his police role (Tencent Online Review).
