Savage (2019)

Violence in a Snowy Mountain

Still watching movies, now a Chang Chen movie with Ni Ni, they were a couple in "Love and Destiny" and a couple here too. The Indecisive male lead, Kang Hao is a fierce but shy cop who tries to recover from a sudden lost and tries not to lose what he still has. Still trying to find the golden thieves who almost killed him a year ago, a sudden gossip in the city about golden brings him to the snowed mountain who waits only some hours till a heavy storm comes, but he is not alone with the thieves, his girlfriend Sun Yan, the citys doctor is not planning gave up on him and gets catch in the next gunfire.

The movie has a good pace, but the editing between what happened a year ago and now feels off sometimes. The gunfire and action scenes were good done, the couple shown chemistry.
