In terms of casting, there are many powerful factions such as Nicholas Tse, Jacky Cheung, Lin Jiaxin, Liu Yase, Wu Zhenyu and so on. Nicholas Tse served as the action director for the first time, insisting on "no post-production" in the play and "no special effects" in the blasting scene. Jacky Cheung also returned to the big screen after 8 years and made his weapon debut, which was full of highlights.

If "Customs Front" is full of blood, then "A Quiet Place: Invasion Day", which was released on the same day, makes people feel chills behind their backs.
