There was few burst out laughing moments wish it could have been more. Cat and mouse game between hero and heroine hate at beginning love at end it's usual cliche story still its good to watch. Everything will be usual in the movie still nicely presented. I wish know that language without watching in subtitles so understand comedy fully.
If a film has a mediocre first half and a fantastic second half, then with high probability, it is going to get mixed or generally favorable reviews. To the contrary, if a film has an acceptable first half and a boring second half, it is doomed to receive unfavorable reviews. Unfortunately, "Never Say Die" belongs to the latter scenario.
First of all, the male lead, Allen, is a miscast. The role Edison is a professional boxer, and the actor for the role should be a muscle guy. Yet Allen has essentially no muscle, and barely looks like a professional boxer.
Secondly and more importantly, the story is not cohesive. The first half of the movie tells a body swap comedy, but in the second half, a clichéd revenge story is told instead and does not seem to be much related to body swap.
To make things worse, the plot is totally predictable. When you watch the first 1/3 of the movie, you can tell what is going to happen next. This is disastrous for filmmaking.
Moreover, most of the jokes in the movie are not funny at all. The only impressive scene is the cameo appearance of Yin Zheng and Wang Zhi, who starred in the 2015 film "Goodbye Mr Loser".
All in all, the rating for this movie is 3/10 at the very best.

When people's destinies have been intertwined, after sharing weal and woe, we could have a better understanding that why some people pretend to be dissipated and indifferent, but actually even they went through unfair and sorrow, they still keep a pure heart and trust in sincere feelings. In this movie " Never Say Die", the heroin Maxiao used to think Edison is a self-bragging and pompous man. But when they have gone through storm together, in her view, these shortages are just Edison's optimism and generosity to all his sufferings from unfair and people's bias. When we learn not to be shallow and follow the stereotype, the shining things or person used to be in our eyes will gradually dim. We could understand that although someone shines like a sun, they are just passengers in our life. Some people seem ordinary currently but they are the one who can accompany us go through thick and thin, experience wind and rain and help us gradually glow the light of our souls and become better. Maybe it is the reason why some people can hold their love for a lifetime, the reason why some people said, "If only life was still as when we first met"
This is film is a waste of my time, I tend to watch the entire film start to end no matter how bad the film gets, but this is just too much even for me. I find myself cursing at the screen multiples times for the nonsense and stupidity the plot is. The actor and actress performance are over the top, I expected that, but this is just awkward and very uncomfortable to watch, it's very very disappointing. Good thing I didn't pay to watch it, in fact they should pay me for my time to sit through this utter trash. I try to find something nice to say about it but I really can't. I rather go clean up my dog poo for hours and hours non-stop than to sit through this again.
Tbh, I'm still wondering how it is topping the box office, does Chinese audience watch anything put infront of them. Another body swapping movies with lead cast way past their prime and comedy will give you brain stroke, clichéd romance, I don't wanna spoil much, but literally this is one of the most trashiest film out there.
