    Anthony Hopkins, Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Al Pacino, Tom Crew Si (Tom Cruise)... is
    indeed a very male film director. Just by looking at the actors he uses, you can predict the power of the movie and the emphasis on male vision.

    After a string of biographies and war movies, Stone seemed to remember that he was from a horror-thriller background, so he tinkered with a road thriller to change his mood. I don't know if Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was inspired by the film, but Xu Zheng and Sean Pan are just the same unlucky bastards: being blackmailed at a gas station VS being blackmailed at a car repair shop, saving a prostitute Yu Nan VS saving The young girl Lopez also gradually went crazy. Stone used many wild animal images in "Born to Kill" to render the wildness of the western town and the jungle law of the jungle (the town is simply a gluttonous mug where all kinds of ruthless horns gather), editing and photography are also It is equally fierce, especially the cliffhanger in the second half and even the ending. The level of black humor is close to that of the Coen brothers of the same period. It would be better if the elements were simplified and the rhythm tightened a little bit. In 1997, Sean Penn played the role of the planner in "Mind Game" and the player in "No U-turn". The situation is very interesting. Lopez is the usual femme fatale in similar movies, and I don't recognize Thornton as the mechanic at all.

    In short, this is a two-day desperate journey of a rotten boy. The story is full of twists and turns, traps are set everywhere, and after a while, it is reversed, and the ending is very dark. But I don't know if it's because the lens is too messy and the look and feel is worse. There are a lot of big names, Jon Voight's fake blind old man is the most interesting~
