      Douban scores are unscientific

      I admit that this movie is indeed blood plasma violence, but it is really too high to give 8 points. The fighting action is a bit fake. There has never been a group fight. I watched the male protagonist beat one person to death, and the second person was beaten to death. kill. . . .
      It seems that there are guns that never use guns, and there are cold weapons that don't use cold weapons. It's a pity that Sister Hammer is actually broken. I like her very much. . . .
      In the end, I don't...

      baseball boy hammer girl hook knife boy

      The plot is Infernal Affairs plus traditional patricide complex.
          EKA is a bright spot. If you are shot in the leg first, you can still drive. It takes a long time to be shot by a small shot and you can still die silently because you have to drive the car to a destination with a full sense of the camera. It is estimated that Don't pay for the director to add drama.
          At the end of the fight, the first few mobs are the baseball guy, the hammer girl, and the hook knife guy....

      addicted

      For Chinese audiences who are widely influenced by kung fu action movies, they must be accustomed to any action movies, but I still feel very emotional that a Western director has made martial arts movies so heartily. "Assault 2: Thugs" continues the lineage of the first protagonist who "cannot be beaten to death". The vertical comparison of the film is a bit fuller in terms of plot, and it is not as rigid as the first one. The realistic plasma shots and sounds of fractures make the fighting...

      Foreign action movies also have their own merits

      I've been used to watching all kinds of Chinese action movies/kung fu movies/martial arts movies since I was a child, and I've watched a lot of foreign action movies over the years. The two protagonists in "Violence Neighborhood", one is parkour pleasing to the eye, and the other is as simple and rude as the plot is as sharp and fast-paced. The "Fist Fighter" series has sprung up. Tony Jaa shows off elegant and ruthless Muay Thai. I really don't think there are such movies in Thailand. I...

      Exaggerated

      "The Raid 2" is a veritable kung fu movie.
      I really don't understand why Raid 2 is called a masterpiece. The plot is loose and protracted, the family and basic feelings are abrupt and blunt, and the visual fatigue brought by the various fighting moves in the early stage has weakened the excitement of the final BOSS battle. 150 minutes is too long for a kung fu film with zero points in literary drama. Too long.
      Like Quentin? Violent aesthetics is the art of turning evil into flower....

      In front of the devil muscle man, the average person who is killed does not show his face for more than 5 seconds. Although the plot of the infernal affairs is unfinished, the plot in front of it and the hard-core fight that runs through it are almost full...

      I want to make the bloody fighting versions of "The Godfather" and "With Heart Stick", but unfortunately, in the epic two and a half hours, there is still not enough drama conflict, and the first one and a half hours are basically on and off. In the lingering state of not being popular, literary dramas are not the focus in the first place, but so many scenes have been arranged, and they are tasteless and tasteless. Shengzai immediately switched to runaway mode an hour later, and it was a brutal...

      sequel. The film is 2 and a half hours long, with various hits. Hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, gunfights, car chases, gang fights, duels, daggers, clubs, machetes, hammers, utility knives, whatever you...

      Not only 2, there is Matsuda Ryuhei in 2. As a result, the plot is mentally retarded to make people cry. I don't know if the fight is due to poor sound effects or the martial arts instructor Tai Shui's arms and legs are dangling around. Again, movies with more than 2 hours in the front are crap. Kitamura looks too old and old. The director team's Japanese gangsters have honey-juice worship, but it makes the three Japanese actors play particularly boring. The prince is really a pig teammate,...

    Background creation

    There are a lot of long follow-up shots in "The Raid2". The long hand-held camera lens keeps the actors fighting and the audience’s intuitive feelings in sync. In the small panorama, the actor’s reaction in the middle shot and the violent details in the close shot are cut into the small panorama. On the one hand, it can enrich the variety of shots and speed up the rhythm of editing. , On the other hand, it can also make up for the...

    Evaluation action

    The comprehensive upgrade of "The Raid2: Thug" from the story to the action scene has won praise for the film (Tencent Review ) . It is proof that Gareth Evans is a good commercial film director, but it also proves that he is not a good screenwriter ( Netease Entertainment Review ) . Its characters and plot exist only to inspire violence and fight, and the story is too general, but for fans of action movies, it is exhilarating. Its...
