Thực Nhân Mộng Giới, The Four (2020)

The Four (2020) is a relatively new web movie in Chinese cinema, inspired by the famous Four Great Constables and the chaotic story of dream demons. However, it lacks substance and quality, mainly focusing on entertainment. With a runtime of just over an hour and a cast of non-professional actors, it is understandable that this low-budget production cannot offer a diverse range of elements. Those who truly seek a high-quality film cannot appreciate this mediocre work. The Vietnamese title of the movie is "Thực Nhân Mộng Giới" and it falls under the genre of martial arts period drama, directed by Hang Thu Luong. It features some noteworthy faces such as Tran Tu Do, Kang Ninh, Hanh Ha Sinh, and On Thuy An. These names may not be familiar to Chinese film enthusiasts as they are not part of the mainstream Chinese actors. Set in the Ming Dynasty, the film revolves around the journey of solving a mysterious case by the Divine Constable. Upon receiving reports of the villagers being trapped in a strange dream, the Divine Constable immediately starts investigating. He discovers that a demon is causing havoc, turning the villagers into puppets, and the only way to defeat it is by entering the dream world. With the help of his master, Dien Cat, he and Bach Hieu Nhu venture into the dream town to capture the monster. How their journey into the dream world unfolds remains to be seen...
