6/10
Simple but it has the greatest objective.
19 September 2019
Sao Du 2: Tian Di Dui Jue aka The White Storm 2: Drug Lords is a Hong Kong film produced in this year 2019. As much as I've watched Hong Kong films, I find that Hong Kong films are basically for entertainment only. It doesn't have special purpose. But this one is quite different.

What I love of this film is the objective. Drugs are very dangerous and bad. Drugs destroy people and even kill people. So, everyone should stay away from drugs and also authorities should take care of drug lords. I feel like they are the biggest enemies to us like this film shows.

The film is basically fine. As the one who expected to see some action, well, I was a little bit disappointed. All they did was shoot the gun. No fighting. Moreover, it is clearly said the film is in "Action" genre right here on IMDB, but in the film, there wasn't that much action. Thus, if they made it more action, yeah, it'd be better.

I kind of don't like how it ended. It's so sad. I kind of wanted to see some happy ending. And also I feel like they are deliberately stretching the plot to make the film longer and longer. Some of the scenes are so boring and unnecessary. So, yeah, I'd say it wasn't my taste that much.

The only one thing I can't think of is the English title. Why did they give such a title? Because the English title and the contents are not the same. In the other words, it's not the right title. As for Chinese title, I feel like it's quite OK.

Overall is that this film is kind of simple but it really has great objectives. So, I'd say authorities should watch it, so that they could eliminate drug lords (and drugs) to save more people. Hence, it's a fine film.
