    8/10. Showing the future world with the sloppy and bloody similar to B-grade films: the costumes are full of street stalls and gaudy wigs, the streets are like a stage set full of junk, and gangsters with action logic like zombies are constantly pouring out to kill the protagonist. The rhythm of the film is good, and the chilling atmosphere is created to grab people's hearts. The flaw is that the action scenes are not good. The fights are typical of the clumsy and cyber flavor of the...

    There is no sci-fi with special effects, and the fantasy time is not far away, so I feel that the sci-fi is not enough. But the male lead's skills are still improved a...

    The rights center is reduced to a safari park. The beginning was very exciting, I thought it was the reverie of Diaosi's counterattack. Guess it was just another Rambo show with a concave shape and pretending to be...

    The sets and photography succeeded in producing some beautiful moments, but it was still a game. Carpenter always builds the world in a continuous dance, but in this film, the continuous rhythm is constantly interrupted by the level, which also dissolves the beauty of the image. There's a lot of movement in Carpenter's films, but little...

    Carpenter’s second study: I ​​remember watching it once in the early years, but I don’t have a good impression. Looking at it today, I still can’t change the rescue story shaped by the sense of doomsday. The punk style is rampant, and it runs through Carpenter’s iconic electronic music. Still can't hide the poor quality of the film. Compared with the previous work "Murder in the Night Fog", the story is actually dull, but the limitation of space should lay the foundation for the masterpiece...
