not cool movie

If the movie cult is barely compliant (Planet 9 outer space program is also a cult movie), a crazy belief leads to killing, but the controversy over whether the theme is out or not must not make a movie into the ranks of the classics. In fact, take the imdb top100 over to see, in addition to the recognized classics, there are cult films everywhere. "Low Speed ​​Novel", "Fight Club", "Trainspotting" are extremely creative and even cynical, "Reservoir Dogs", Films such as "Mulholland Drive" are fantastic in terms of language and technique. Coppola's Vietnam War work "Apocalypse Now" is hard to say not cult.
The most important thing I hear about "The Executioner" is the subject matter. I believe that people who have watched a few movies will not be convinced by just "violating violence with violence". The form of expression is more important. Guy Ritchie's films "Two Smoking Guns" and "Snatching and Robbery" gang bosses have different personalities, which is convincing. The coolest is the boss with pig farms and underground casinos, with exaggerated facial expressions and anger and rage, with high hormones, and the little Roy, who is not good-looking and watches TV at the bar all day. Dealing with trouble is very simple. Bring 7 or 8 big men and shotguns, enough fire and Xiao Shilang.
I'm just a preconceived notion that Guy Ritchie should be compared to The Executioner. The director of this film started writing to introduce these two brothers in an old-fashioned way. Although he knew the foreshadowing (they would have a big fight), the brotherhood was handled very superficially, especially in the part of the meat factory, which felt like an idol inspirational film. It should be said that several of the leading actors have no acting skills, and the lines are also filled with the sadness that they want to play cool but are not strong enough. They can only blame their conduct is too low. Haha, their performances remind me of the "Murder Green Toe" in Protagonist, it's certainly a sad thing to have this feeling in this movie. In fact, kittens can play with big fish more enjoyable than them. Instead of killing bosses by relying on those obviously flawed coincidences, Gary is smarter than the director. In the case of a strong contrast between the power of the enemy and the enemy, it is generally unnecessary to The sword is clear, and the violent moments are often unexpectedly professional plus intense release.
The music of the movie is not right. The opera-style soundtrack of Ingmar is used too much. The place where the percussion is used has also been replaced by this emphasis, such as killing the first two Russian gangsters.
Gay police performances are overdone but unpleasant. They belong to the type of pranksters, because they don't run into the plot. Who would like to see them dancing alone, long and ugly. In the last scene, he reversed men and women and it was a cult flavor.
The whole movie is trying to pretend to be cool but not cool. Several main actors can play "Murder Green Toes", and they are not good enough in gangster movies. There is an old saying: Some people have broken legs, but he still stands, and some people have not broken legs, he wants to pretend to be b, he lies on his stomach. It's a good thing to describe this movie.
In this era of bad movies, there is a movie worth mentioning, which is a blessing.
