This movie is about a pig-pong star named Randy Daytona who is recruited by an FBI agent to get rid of Daytona's father's killer once and for all...through the art of ping-pong.
A scene that stood out to me was towards the end when Randy and Feng are playing head-to-head on the bridge. This was the only time the director included some sort of variety in his camera angles. Because the two were on the bridge, to make it more intense and dramatic, the scene was shot heavily from an angle below the bridge, making the scene appear much more extreme than it really is. It showed how narrow the bridge was and how high up it was, this shot truly focused on the two characters and emphasized on the fact that whoever loses will probably fall off the bridge somehow and obviously get electrocuted because of the electric vest which will lead directly to death #foreshadowing. The rest of the movie however was shot in mainly subjectively angles with the typical variations in tight and medium shots throughout this feature film. Overall this film was your typical comedy and would not recommend it. It was a fun movie just for laughs, my brothers are obsessed with this movie simply because of the fact ping-pong is in it which is why I watched it. I watched Lion again which YOU SHOULD TOTALLY SEE. But this film was not impressive at all, besides the rad ping-pong skills shown.
