Movies are survival and life
When it comes to the Korean actor with the best acting skills and the busiest schedule, the billionaire actor Hwang Jung-min must be one of them.
As a representative figure who becomes more popular as he gets older, Hwang Jung-min's outstanding performances in the hit movies "Negotiation" and "Seoul Spring" in the past year are still vivid in our minds. This year's new films "Mission Impossible" and "Veteran 2" are also ready to be released.Just last weekend, the action blockbuster "Mission Impossible" starring him landed on Netflix.When Huang Zhengmin, the versatile actor, isfamilyWhat interesting things will happen when the "cook" has to save the world again?In summary, this is an action-comedy drama starring Hwang Jung-min and Yeom Jung-ah.Crossover"Mission" is the Korean version of "True Lies" + "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".The film was completed in 2023.It was originally planned to be released in Korean theaters as a "New Year's blockbuster" in February this year, but due to the fact that another leading actorJeon Hye-jin's husband Lee Sun-kyun("The End", "Parasite")He passed away suddenly in December last year, so the release date was postponed.
Then, considering the release cost,Cross-border MissionService》finally chose to "switch from theaters to the Internet" and joined Netflix.Lee Sun-kyun died at the age of 48Therefore, compared with other "Korean online movies", "Crossover Mission" not only has Huang Zhengmin,Yeom Jung-ah(Smuggling, Rose, Red Lotus)Jeon Hye-jin("hunting")Jung Man-sik(Miracle in Room 7)With a stellar lineup, the production budget is also top-notch.In terms of action scenes, "Mission Crossover" cost 20 billion won.(Over 100 million RMB)Create a big scene,From gunfights to hand-to-hand combat to car chases in tunnels, every effort is made to provide visual stimulation.In terms of story, the design of the agent couple in "Crossover" is obviously inspired by Cameron'sTrue Lies》with Pitt & JolieMr. and Mrs. Smith》To seek Buddhist scriptures.The protagonist Jiang Wu(Played by Hwang Jung-min)He was once a skilled, intelligent and brave secret agent. After hiding his identity, his main job now is to be a househusband, serving his wife Mi-seon, who is a key criminal police officer.(Played by Yeom Jung-ah)。The seemingly peaceful life was disrupted by an unexpected "encounter".One day, Jiang Wu met his former spy colleague Xiao Xi while buying groceries.(Played by Jeon Hye-jin)After helping her resolve the mysterious man's pursuit, the two sat in the park and reminisced about their old relationship.As luck would have it, this scene was seen by two of my wife Meishan’s colleagues.(So you cheated on me?)......So the police officers couldn't help but imagine the conversation between the two.Two people who like to watch the funThey also recreated the scene in the office, adding some embellishments to the scenes they saw.Meishan did not panic after learning about this. She observed her husband's actions while investigating Xiaoxi's true identity.Gradually, Meishan discovered that Xiaoxi was inextricably linked to the big case she was investigating.It turns out that Xiaoxi's true identity is the mastermind behind the embezzlement of more than 3 trillion won in arms funds, code-named "Marshal Park".sheleadLureJiang Wu joined the game in order to get this huge sum of money faster.Xiao XibenHe thought he had the victory sure, but unexpectedly, Meishan, who was trying to "beat the mistress", showed up and disrupted all his plans.On the other hand, graduallyRecognizeBeing usedJiang Wu, successfully escaped and rescued his wife.So far,Mi-sun finally understands her husbandJiang Wu's true identity,This pairThe "spy couple" will use their respective professional skills and tacit cooperation to break into the thieves' den and uncover the truth behind the crime.As an action comedy, "Mission Impossible" is a relatively neat film.In the action scenes, the first part focuses on the bravery of the female police.When Lian Jingya is investigating a case, there is a long fight scene where she teaches a gangster a lesson, which is a great way to relieve stress;The latter part adds gunfights and car chases. In the tunnel chase, the use of scattered pipes to overturn motorcycles and cars is quite imaginative.
A little bit of funThe comedy scenes are also eye-catching.for exampleAt the end, the couple drove a manure truck to deal with the criminals., so that the audience can feel the strong "flavor" across the screen。But the shortcomings are also obvious.Huang Zhengmin, who has strong acting skills, was limited by the old script this time and could only copy the classic performance sets of the past, such asThe Schwarzenegger resemblance in True Lies is too high;Originally, he could control tragedy(International Market, When a Man Falls in Love),comedy(The Man Who Was Superman), and can also control the villain("Asura", "Seoul Spring")This actor with many faces could only perform a routine performance with his "standard work" this time, which was such a waste."Asura" & "When a Man Falls in Love"
In short, "Mission Impossible" is a Korean popcorn movie wrapped in a Hollywood coat and a collage of classic models. If you like the leading actors or if you are just looking for a moment of entertainment, it is worth watching.
