8/10
A tour around the world film. But it's quite good because of the last twists.

Shi Tu Xing Zhe 2: Die Ying Xing Dong aka Line Walker 2: Invisible Spy is a Hong Kong film produced in this year 2019. So, it can be said that it's just out not long time ago. To be honest, I'm not that much into Shi Tu Xing Zhe film series. In fact, I'm not a fan of Hong Kong films. But still, I watch Hong Kong films just to see their improvements in film industry.

In the first place, I wasn't interesting to watch Shi Tu Xing Zhe films, but as I've mentioned in previous film Shi Tu Xing Zhe's review, that it's sequel, and also this film, some scenes of this film were filmed in my country, Myanmar. Thus, this is the reason that made me watch this film.

Before I watched this film, I thought this film was just a sequel to the previous film. I mean this story will continue to however previous one ended. But I was wrong. It's totally different story. A new story that made me confused for some time. Maybe because two main casts are the same with the previous one's, so, I thought it was sequel and continued story of the previous film. Throughout the film, for certain period of time, I kept thinking that this was the continued story of the previous one until it's so clear that it wasn't. So, I'd say it's quite confusing.

About Chinese subtitle for Myanmar language spoken parts based on the version which I've watched, 75% is correct. So, some of them are wrong. But still, it's doing good.

The other thing I want to mention is that when I watched the previous one, I was so disappointed. The previous one is really bad. I didn't like it. So, when I decided to watch this film, I wasn't expecting that much. I was just thinking that I'd just watch some of the scenes they filmed in my country, nothing more. And I was right for some parts. This film seemed to be just a normal film. It's not like action film. It's more like a tour around the globe. You know, a field trip? LOL.

That being said, when it comes to nearly end scene, I was totally surprised. This film has some twists and I love it. I gave this film 8 stars rating for it. Yet, there is one thing I don't like. Shi Tu Xing Zhe films don't have happy ending. As the one who loves to see happy ending, well, I feel like this film wasn't a good one for me. And also about action. Although it's in action category, all I saw was shooting the guns. I didn't see the other actions that much. If there were more actions, it'd be great.

To conclude this review, Shi Tu Xing Zhe 2: Die Ying Xing Dong is much better than the previous film. Because it shows the character's cleverness and also it has some twists, I totally love this film. If they are planning to do the third film, I hope they could add more complicated (and of course, it's easy to understand) twists in the next one.
