"The Suspect" is one of the best popcorn movies of the year. ()
As a former stuntman, director Shin-yeon Won is good at showing the limits of the human body , whether it is in the ordeal for survival, the thrilling escape or the control of the scene of a leap in the sky . ()
"The Suspect" paid tribute to "The Bourne" on a large scale. First look at the protagonist's identity. Just like Byrne, Ji Dongzhe, played by Gong Yoo, as a fugitive from the north, voluntarily withdrew from the special forces and pursued private purposes incognito. This is similar to that of Byrne leaving the killer organization; both of them are located in different parts of the world. Performed cold-blooded killing missions and flashbacks in the film, but still enough to emphasize that the two sides are the elites of the elite; both the film and "The Bournemouth" narratively portray the protagonist as more than 30 years old. The appearance is not outstanding, the taciturn big cool brother has been subjected to cruel "water torture", and his identity background, the cause and effect of the case, basically rely on the mouth of the third party in the investigation.
In terms of the plot structure, Chi Dongzhe lives a low-key life. Because he was framed as an unsuccessful murderer, he has to clear his grievances and avenge his loved ones. It almost overlaps the skeleton of the second episode of "The Bourne", and the dead loved ones of both sides. They are all wives; the film has a more human touch, adding a surviving daughter to Chi Dongzhe, unlike Byrne who is still alone at the end. In the opposing law enforcement agencies, there is also an unbiased agent who is only interested in the truth. From hostility to cooperation with the protagonist, he helps him at the last minute. The film has a line of female reporters, and this role is getting closer and closer to the role of Nikki in the second and third episodes of "The Bourne" in the second half. Chi Dongzhe is a classic mode for small characters to fight against the big system, dealing with multiple forces. It is also the narrative mode that Lu Delun, the author of the novel "The Bourne," pioneered and is best at.
Like "The Bourne", the lurking killers all over Korea, brothers, teachers and other occupations that are usually engaged in are activated by a phone call and are engaged in the battle to kill the protagonist. The sniper rifle attack corresponds to the "Professor" in the first episode of "The Bourne". The hand-to-hand combat corresponded to the Hamburg agent in the second episode and the Moroccan "Dash" in the third episode. The driving collision corresponds to the "unskilled agent" in the third episode, and it was also in a tight space, changing from a tunnel to a colonnade. In addition, because Ji Dongzhe does not lose his memory like Berne, this film adds a spectacle puzzle, which corresponds to the identity that Byrne is struggling to pursue in "The Bourne".
When it comes to the action bridges, Burn is everywhere. Towels deal with daggers, and it’s too obvious to get rid of the chase by walking in the crowd. Chi Dongzhe is also good at evading high-tech surveillance with a variety of simple tricks. The disposable mobile phone that Bourne uses is the same in his hand. Can mislead the police. Chi Dongzhe guides the female reporter to get rid of the prison scene, which is very similar to the interview with the reporter in the third episode of "The Bourne". The killer stunned the female reporter and wanted to shoot her. Chi Dongzhe jumped into the rescue and immediately started a long series of hand-to-hand combat. This is a complete reproduction of the Moroccan section of the third episode of "The Bourne". After that, Chi Dongzhe got rid of the police from the roof. Parkour jumps, even the overlook of Korean houses is very similar to Tangier. Chi Dongzhe’s drag racing skills are also inherited from Byrne, copying the swooping stairs in the first episode of "The Bourne", the taxi in the second episode was hit on the side, and the vehicle in the third episode "stands upright" and flips the camera. Byrne uses the car. He not only used it skillfully to meet the crash, he also upgraded to a trick of borrowing a car to crash, and he also knew how to use airbags cleverly. In addition, Chi Dongzhe, like Byrne, played a high diving. From the above comparison, it can be seen that saying that "The Suspect" is the chief apprentice of "The Bourne" is not out of nothing and far-fetched. (
