      "The Alien"

      I just came back after traveling for ten days. Continue to watch movies, continue to write impressions.

      There are two movies named "Ginger", one is from 2012, and the one I watched is from 2018.

      The story is about a corporate executive, Harold, who is bullied by his boss Richard, his wife is seduced, and he faces unemployment. In frustration and anger, a farce of fake kidnapping was directed. While Richard was struggling to save or not, Harold was really kidnapped by a Mexican...

      New players in the film industry and the struggle of genres

      advantage--

      Innovative details, Nigerian protagonists, Bible discussions, marijuana pills, Haitian volunteer mercenaries, these are all the details that are rarely seen in past types of films, and the whole film feels novel.

      shortcoming--

      The characters are many and confusing, and there are many motivations to explain, but there is not so much space, and a few obvious problems:

      1. Why add a love triangle to the top floor? There is no need to add the protagonist's wife...

      "The Gringo" failed to meet expectations, the male protagonist Theron and the little beauty have good acting skills, and the storyline has no bright spots

      Originally, I was going to see a comedy movie with a lot of laughs like "Bad Boss". But this movie is obviously not a common R-rated comedy. After watching it, I didn't find any funny jokes, but a slightly dark humorous movie.

      This mode of three storylines separated and crossed is not uncommon, but there is slightly less interaction, too many lines, the director does not grasp the climax and compactness, and the typical white boss and Mexican drug lord are not innovative.

      Tucao: It's a mess except for the acting (spoiler)

      Theron, Amanda Seyfield and the "Martin Luther King" lineup don't know how to be coerced and lured into such a movie, and one star is dedicated to them. The director is the brother of the second male lead. He has been acting as a stunt double for 22 years. In 2015, he acted in two low-budget films, one of which was directed by his own younger brother. Apart from that, he had no acting experience until The film was suddenly promoted to director, driving several famous actors, and was also...

      Gringo

      It's entirely because of the heroine, but she doesn't have a lot of roles, so she can only be regarded as the second position in the same group. The brother in the third position is the most comfortable in the whole film, but unfortunately, not only was he hit by a car first, but then he was shot in the head, really. The male protagonist is the most annoying in the whole film, because this is a film I fast-forward. There are also two characters playing soy sauce in the film, one male and one...
