      Got fooled again by Jason Statham

      After reading the introduction and the title, I thought it was an anti-establishment film after the awakening of a down-and-out man. Who knows that it is still going to follow the modern Robin Hood route. When Nima Meng and yourself are beaten and caught, you don’t resist, and in the end, you spend so much effort to redeem yourself. , When someone else dies, they will come to scum again. About halfway through, I was still wondering where the evil horses sent by the sinful system were. Later, I...

      It's not incomprehensible, it's literary, it's not inexplicable, it's connotation

      The beginning of the film seems as usual Jason Statham style, desert camouflage, distant Middle East, raucous Bazaar, full of hormones and violence. When the convoy was marching on the crowded streets, I was already thinking about it. The terrorists with AKs and RPGs shouted "Alahu Akbar" and made the British Army go to hell, but when the camera turned, it was sultry. Several soldiers in the carriage were shot to death without seeing the enemy. Joey (Jason Statham) sat in the back and watched...

      "Hummingbird": A tough guy is an attitude to life

      Text / Shi Qi

          personally believes that many of Jason Statham's previous works are at best suitable for writing short reviews, which is enough. However, if it is said that it is a brainless fast food, I cannot fully agree with it. The short, flat and fast rhythm makes most of his works short and profitable, and has accumulated and cultivated a large number of fans around the world. Otherwise, the popular "Fast and Furious" series wouldn't just let him show his face in the easter...

      Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it "salvation"?

      I saw the title and thought I was thinking of something like "The Battlefield of Red Flames". After watching the movie review, I realized that everyone's positioning for it is a literary romance film. Well, I lost, -_-!
      Personally, it may be a little bit The tendency to be a little violent. When I saw that I was going to use a spoon to dig out my eyeballs, I always felt that this kind of scene should continue to dig regardless of whether the other party told the truth or not. I didn't...

      shadow under the ferris wheel

      Jason Statham's image on the big screen is often a "good guy who has gone bad" (eg, "Parker", "The Mechanic") or a pure tough guy ("The Expendables"). But in "Hummingbird", there is a kind of tragic hero's end.

      The film begins by describing the accident that the protagonist Joseph suffered on the battlefield in Afghanistan in a form similar to a documentary, and then Joseph was charged by a military court and sent to the hospital.
      A tough guy is a tough guy after all, and...

      The amount of lines in the whole film far exceeded the action scenes, and the few fights ended quickly without suspense. The nun's dark history is probably to enhance the guilt of the male protagonist's work, but the effect is not obvious. The trauma of the war, plus the male protagonist who is separated from revenge and redemption, the ending is still a slag of literature and...

      Statham has transformed, and if he continues to maintain such a level, he can start making literary films. Statham, who is still paralyzed, has long hair, suffers from battlefield trauma syndrome, and wanders on the streets of London. Anger, blood spatters five steps! For this reason, he could fall into infinity just to get justice in his heart for that ray of wronged soul. Even if I miss Hongyan and my family, I will also...

      The development of the plot is a bit confusing. The British flavor is far more than the American flavor. I don't know why, but I always feel that the nun in this film plays a very good role. ....

    Evaluation action

    Jason Statham's performance in the film is different from the previous Hollywood blockbusters that only relied on martial arts. This "Hummingbird" uses a way of peeling off the cocoon, telling a mystery shrouded in the former special forces returning from the battlefield in Afghanistan, Jason Statham With a solid performance that the audience has never seen before, this man with war wounds is rendered real and sensible. However, he is...
