The movie "Customs Front" has been highly anticipated by the audience since the official announcement of the lineup. Since the release of the first movie in 1998, Nicholas Tse has been on the big screen every year. Only this "Customs Front" is his hard-earned work of returning to the big screen with a new identity "action director" after he settled for three years and established his own action team. It is worth mentioning that this is also Jacky Cheung’s return to the big screen after an eight-year gap. Regarding this cooperation, Nicholas Tse sincerely said: "In fact, this is the first real cooperation with Brother Xueyou. I have always liked Brother Xueyou’s movies. This time, there can be musical exchanges. It is a dream come true for me."

In the film, there is a life-threatening jump from a helicopter hoisting a high-altitude fight, a thrilling gun battle of extremely fast racing, a high-ignition fight under water, and a one-to-many 64-trick long-shot fight… Many wonderful and thrilling high-ignition action scenes make people directly call "wonderful and enjoyable" and "hard core enough". It is worth mentioning that this is Nicholas Tse’s first time as an action director, insisting on "no later stage" in the fight, "no special effects" in the explosion scene, and everything must be "real" to bring the audience a hearty experience of adrenaline soaring. Nicholas Tse is even more blunt, "This is the essence of Chinese action movies going global".
All the staff "fight hard to the end", Tse Tse designed dangerous action scenes for himself without mercy, one-on-one punches to the meat, wearing short sleeves arms were hit to change color. Jacky Cheung performed emotional scenes several times with tears in his eyes, and every time he was close to collapse, the performance made him exhausted. Lin Jiaxin kept her real white hair in order to be close to the characters, and fully devoted herself to shaping the role. Liu Yasser challenged the play for the first time, bluntly saying that "it is the first time to shoot such an action movie, and it is dangerous and enjoyable." Liu Yasser, who worked very hard on the set, was praised by Tse Tse Tse as "so fierce", and said that she seemed to see herself in the past. Nicholas Tse shared on the spot that there was a scene of crossing the breaking point, and the bomb fragments accidentally exploded into Liu Yasse’s eyes. Liu Yasse did not stop after processing, and the first sentence was "Brother Feng, I can have another one".

In the film, Zhang Yunnan, played by Jacky Cheung, suffers from high-functioning depression. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a strong and worthy person, but his heart is full of pain and struggle, constantly using high emotional intelligence to cover up his inner depression. In order to create a good character, Zhang Xueyou locked himself in the room for many hours, repeatedly repeating, and refused to shoot the next scene until the "edge of collapse" explosive state was perfectly presented. Nicholas Tse revealed at the premiere, "Brother Xueyou has a real reference to his past experience. He really experienced suffocation and difficulty breathing." In the film, the clips of Zhang Yunnan’s illness are very immersive. Lin Jiaxin said that it is "very distressing". The high-energy "crazy" performance also infected the audience. "Brother Xueyou’s acting skills are seriously underestimated. He completely played the manic and dark complex side of the character."
