Less serious but love the concept.
Su Ren Te Gong aka The Rookies is another film of Chinese and European combination that I've watched. It's kind of good to see Eastern and Western people are together in the same film. They show the unity no matter what their nationalities and races are. That's why I think there should be more films like this.The plot is as usual, bad guys do bad things and good guys try to stop them. We've all seen such a thing in a lot of films, but I must admit that this film is quite different. I like the idea of virus that can turn people into plants. But on the other hand, I feel like it's kind of so cruel. Still, I like that idea.
The plot is quite simple. So, I'd say it's just a fine film. When I watched this film, I didn't know that Xiao Zhan and Milla would be in this film. I was so surprised when I saw Xiao Zhan. I immediately recognised him when I saw him. It's great to see him in this film. So sad that Xiao Zhan's parts are too little. I wanted to see him more in the film. As for Milla, as usual, she's amazing. I really like both of them.
Although the plot is quite simple, the car chasing and driving parts are so cool. I really love those scenes. That being said, the film is in action genre, but the actions are quite simple. If only those actions are complex. Moreover, the film seems to be less serious. It should be serious. I mean I love the jokes. But because of some unnecessary jokes, the film becomes less serious. Thus, I really wished that they could've done better than this.
There is one thing I don't understand. It's the eye. I want to know who that eye is belonged to. And also the reason why he does bad things to innocent people. But they didn't explain anything. If they have, I think it'd be better.
What I don't like is they let Zhao Feng fell together with helicopter. Before helicopter exploded, it came near Miao Miao. At that time, Zhao Feng could have jumped. But they made it look like he didn't survive. And also I don't like Zhao Feng character. He's like less serious. He's completely a jerk and acting like a kid. As the one who loves to see the main character bright, clever and like a gentleman, his character is really annoying. If they have developed a good character, it'd be better.
So, as for conclusion, although there are some mistakes in the film and the plot is quite simple, because of that fact that this film has amazing car chasing scenes, I'd say it's good. I don't know about the others, as for me, I kind of laughed and enjoyed it.
