‘The Bad Guys’: When Bad Guys Become Good Guys Que Chi

Big Brother Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell) has a “knock-knife”. Mr. Snake (Marc Maron) is a master of opening cabinets. Shark (Craig Robinson) – master of disguise. Tiger (Anthony Ramos) – a slow-exploding bomb. And Miss Spider (Awkwafina) is a technology witch.

During the robbery of the “honest citizen” trophy, the group was caught by the police. The whole year must be a good person if you want to be acquitted. The deadline is set before the charity Gala of the exemplary guinea pig – Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade). The funny situations in the journey to change nature start here.

The film deals with human personality through animal images. The five animals are known as master criminals. They entered the restaurant without paying, robbed a bank in broad daylight, were chased by the police but all escaped.

Animals do bad things because they were preconceived about their appearance. People see them as predators (Sharks), uncontrollable emotions (Tiger Fish), dangerous with long tongues (Snake)…

They also never tried to be good people, so when faced with the request to be good people to clear the sentence, the group acted strangely. Instead of gently helping the cat stuck in the tree, they scared it. Shark and Snake learn to share with each other, but their anger breaks out and a fight breaks out. When saving the guinea pigs from the laboratory, they accidentally let everyone see the guinea pigs stuffed into the Snake’s belly…

In the process of changing for the better, there are also moments when the animals score points. Typically, the scene where the wolf picks the old woman’s pocket, but accidentally she slips, and the wolf pulls the old woman back to avoid falling. When the old woman praised “you are a good boy”, Wolf realized that this feeling was too strange, making him freeze. It is this detail that is the beginning of a psychological transformation, making Wolf want to become a good person. Because there is no one to advise, the five characters act rashly.

Five subjects can only be friends with each other, coordinating to commit crimes. In the process of becoming good people, this group of friends cannot avoid conflicts. But when the misunderstanding is cleared, they unite against the evil forces that are threatening the city.

Besides the message of humanity, the film is creative in shooting angles, images and music. The street chase segment between the police and the group of animals is based on classic action movies, while maintaining the humor and cheerfulness of the cartoon genre, suitable for young audiences. The mixture of animation (animation) and comics (comic) is not new but is used just enough to make a visual impression. sheet music Good Tonight composed by Danniel Pemberton, performed by Anthony Ramos – also added a highlight to the work.

However, the work has many limitations. The film is aimed at young audiences, so there are not many climaxes. The villain’s social conflicts are not pushed to the extreme.
