      Watching a third-rate movie like a second-rate

      While driving the plane happily, the wife of the fierce man greeted her husband with one or two words from time to time: Husband, how are you, for a while, she kept saying, "My husband is not good, I'm going to get off." The tough guy was sweaty and bleeding, and he said: "My wife, it's okay, I can do it, trust me." Eventually the two jumped into the swimming pool.
        Haha, don't think this is the plot of a third-class Hong Kong movie in the 1980s, but it is actually a 12-round'fight'. In...

      Lonely Renee Haring

      Renee Haring used to be a director I like. He is the leader of traditional action movies, such as "The Great Wind of the Mountain", "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", "Spy Flower", "Deep Sea Shark", "Cut Throat Island", "Die Hard 2"...The film is full of impact and gunpowder, and has a strong visual impact. At the end, I like to use the explosion of props to render, brilliant and extreme.

      In 2009, the 50-year-old Harlem had already exhausted his talents, and the filming of "12 Rounds"...

      Brother is here to make soy sauce, not saving girlfriend

      I can endure the mental retardation of the plot, can endure many unconventional actions, and can endure many parts that have been repeated countless times. After all, it is a B-pole film, and we can't ask too much. But please, can the actors be more dedicated, all the actors are inattentive, as if everyone knows the ending, waiting for the actor to pass the level. Especially the male protagonist, the whole movie is completely an expression, relying on you are acting, not soy sauce, okay?...

      Photography and editing are still somewhat commendable

      ——The plot of the movie is familiar, isn't it? Like many people commented, it really looks like "die hard" or something. But I want to say that even though many people are criticizing photography, I think the performance of photography is remarkable in terms of expressing tension. The coarseness of the image is obvious, and of course the ending part is very bloody.

      ——The design of the plot is a bit overdone. After all, since playing with the male protagonist is a guise, and getting...

      Very disappointing, everything is there but not well expressed

      Hollywood's speeding cars, aerial fights, fierce explosions, dazzling police teams, counter-terrorism teams, sophisticated equipment, and huge performance sites
      ! but! It feels very mixed. The director really wants to make it a blockbuster. Needless to say, the plot is a bit like the Punisher and a bit like a wife-saving action movie. I forgot what it was called, and the actors don’t need to say. The female is not beautiful enough and the male is a bit Shrek. The bad guys have various...

      The rhythm is too tight, and the screenwriter's arrangement is too deliberate. Looking at it reminds me of the movies of Jackie Chan's earlier years. Except for the lack of fighting, other elements are...

    Before Aidan Gillen was determined to play the negative role of Miles Jackson in the film, Al Pacino , Mel Gibson , Kevin Bacon , Christian Michael Leonard Hawkins , Lou Diamond Phillips and Sean Bean had all deliberately played this role   .

    Evaluation action

    The plot is tortuous, but the thrilling fighting scenes outweigh the narrative logic. Renny Harlin, who has directed "Die Hard 2" and "Fresh Wind", knows how to dispatch roaring police cars, fire trucks, and roaring helicopters. However, digging into the hearts of characters has never been his strong point ("City Times Digital News" review)  .
    Traditional story clues, like the old TV games that many people have played, can only...
