Character Evaluation
Rob Cohen opened the "The Fast and the Furious" series and the "xXx" series as a director. Although he is not a prolific director, he is a powerful and representative figure among American Hollywood action film directors. In the action movies he directed, the spirit of adventure is undoubtedly the most touching force, from the speeding car in "The Fast and the Furious" to the extreme sports in "xXx", from the mission in the tiger's den to the "The Mummy: Tomb of" The tomb battles in "The Dragon Emperor" are all very adventurous. From a realistic point of view, the thrilling trips in Rob Cohen's action films are difficult to achieve, but with the help of special effects and special effects, he turns surreal thinking into "reality", bringing an amazing aesthetic experience to the audience.
