IT FINALLY RELEASED!!! I've been anticipating this movie for a very long time. This movie is a need-to-watch. All the actors were spectacular in their performance and I enjoyed the plot. The movie reviews humanity's laws and educates about self defense. The movie's main character, Mr. Han has a very high EQ, his wife is a very reasonable protector, and their son is a mix of the two of them--literally perfect. I wish there were more scenes of the protagonist's family though, I was very invested in the story there. The movie was amazingly directed. The director, Zhang Yi Mo is very famous in China, and all his products are always a big hit, including this movie.

The topic here is quite an interesting one. A CCTV camera captures a man being attacked and stabbed multiple times. The police apprehend the perpetrator, but as the hastily partnered prosecutors - "Han Ming" (Jiayin Lei) and "Liu Lingling" (Ye Gao) start to investigate, they discover that the victim was actually quite an odious creature who probably deserved his fate - despite the vocal protestations of his family. Meantime, the former is also having some family drama after is son "Yuchen" (Liu Yaowen) intervenes in a school bullying incident and finds himself faced with making an humiliating apology or a court-ordered detention. Poor old "Han" is now under mounting pressure from his bosses, his partner and from his rather strong-willed wife "Li Maojuan" (Li Ma). Juggling plates isn't really his forte, and for most of the drama we vacillate between the increasingly hysterical and bickering marital relationship that starts off quite funny but ends up quite grating, and a police investigation that ultimately has a political point to make about the voracity of Chinese justice to the audience. It does have it's moments, and at times I did feel a bit sorry for "Han" as his problems accumulate with no obvious solution for a man who just wants to get to his retirement in one piece. Otherwise, though, it's all a bit messy. The narrative doesn't really flow and it becomes just a but too much of a soap for me as it begins to run out of steam. It is watchable, and at times does raise a smile - but the stories are all just a bit too thin.

Different countries have different cultural traditions, This film bravely chooses a difficult subject but tells the story very well.

There's much we can do to change the world, it's a great attempt.

When you watch this film, maybe can not understand very well, as difference system of country clutrue of Europe and North America or other countries. But the pursuit of fairness and justice is the common pursuit for all human being.

The last part was very wonderful, "The pursuit of fairness and justice requires a price. Do ordinary people need to bear their own destiny, the whole family's the destiny, and even the several generations destiny to bear? "

Express my the creators of this film.

Can't imagine this movie is Direct by the one person that show the whole world how spectacular China is during Olympic. ZYM old movie was beautiful shot and hidden meanings. Now being control by capitalism,his movie is sloppy and non creative.

Camera keep to the person when the parents will argue make me feel giddy. Parent keep arguing all the way from start to end make me feel sickling.

Actually is a good education movie if not for ZYM try to make funny movie for CNY. All cast will great except the parent ruin the whole movie. ZYM should stop making funny movie and stick to his last time movie making.

The procurator's determination that Wang Yongqiang was acting in self-defense only meant that he did not have to go to prison, not that he could got benefits or receive compensation from government treasury.

Wang Yongqiang owed a lot of high interest loans. At the same time ,his wife Hao Xiumei committed suicide . Hao Xiumei being rescued by doctors at the hospital, and then she is not in severe condition ,but she still stayed in a single special ward. The movie in this scene is not realistic in poor family.

Han Ming's son storyline is strange. Just look like in order to add one character for someone. School bully storyline is not harmoniously in movie.
