Benny Chan is one of the best cops in Hong Kong, and perhaps the most important in his business. He managed to put a lot of bad guys behind bars, and just as many are waiting for their “turn”. Benny has one unfinished business that cannot be completed in any way. The head of the mafia syndicate Viktor Wong is constantly slipping away. And no matter how hard Chan tries, he still does not manage to catch the villain.
But one day, Victor himself goes to Benny. After some events, he needs one person, and only Benny Chan can track down and deliver him. But so that Chan agreed and didn’t doubt for a long time, he stole the cop’s niece in exchange for the fugitive. Our hero did not have to persuade for a long time, and he instantly went in search of a certain Connor Watts. It soon turns out that Watts needs Victor only to cover his tracks and destroy all the witnesses of his crime. Then Chang, being unable to contradict his principles, decides to save both his niece and poor fellow Watts, who once found himself in the wrong place and at the wrong time.
Actors and roles
The actors for the film "Otpetnye teammates" (2017) were chosen in the best way. Jackie Chan is an unsurpassed actor, and it seems that we have known him for ages. There is practically no single film where Chan does not shine with his versatile talent. In his track record of more than a hundred film works, where he mainly plays good heroes. It's no secret that almost all the stunts from the films Chan performs personally. And proof of this - a lot of abrasions and wounds that "decorate" the body of the actor. Maybe someone did not know, but Jackie is an excellent singer, and he created and performed many lyrics for films. In general, Jackie always evokes positive emotions and a smile at the sight of a hero. Rather, he is also a very positive person in life, because it is not for nothing that he sometimes performs various parody numbers and acts as a comedian.
The second protagonist of the film “Inveterate Companions” (2017) is the eccentric Johnny Knoxville, in the literal sense of the word, because the actor got his popularity when he participated in the multi-part project “Eccentrics”. In this project, Knoxville himself and several other characters experienced almost always stupid and insecure experiments. So the participation in the film “Inveterate Companions” (2017) with actors of large magnitude was for him only a “baby powder”.
Conclusion
The film "Inveterate Companions" (2017), whose actors are simply unique in their skill, was shot in the style of a comedy action. The director of the film, Rennie Harlin, tried very hard to make the project vivid and memorable. The heroes of the film constantly fall into various troubles and funny situations, traveling to various colorful places. Sometimes it even seems that the role of Benny was written specifically for Jackie, and the role of Watts was perfect for the eccentric Johnny Knoxville. One thing is clear for sure - the film is required to watch.
