Personally, it is the director who inspires my trust first of all!
Even his flop films were more than worthy of discussion.
The plot smacks of the 70s... It doesn’t inspire confidence, at least for me.
If only father and son were not former special forces soldiers. ;)
Wang Baoqiang appeared in the film Choy Li Fut, where he fought with Jie Miu. Very thin, but moves well.
