The Shattering Crisis: Old-School But Delicious

I believe that all action movie fans will feel the same after watching the Shocking Crisis: this film can be regarded as a great fusion of hard work and bravery on the deadly island. Emmerich used this film to complete a tribute to Hollywood in the 1980s and 1990s. In the new century when high-tech action films and hard-core action films go hand in hand, it is rare to see such an old-fashioned action film.
John Kyle is the speaker's personal guard, similar to the setting of Police Officer McClain in Die Hard, and he is also a grassroots guard with many problems. James Sawyer made it clear that the black president was insinuating Obama. Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx partnered quite a bit like the duo of Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson in Die Hard 3, black and white, both action and funny. The plot of the film is very similar to that of bravely rushing to the island of death. It is all veteran cadres who take revenge on the country. At the same time, occupying the White House to form an isolated island space is similar to the deadly island. It's just that the life-threatening island launched a chemical missile, and this film is a more powerful nuclear bomb. It can be seen that this movie has too many similarities with classic movies in terms of action style and plot, and I have to wonder how lazy the screenwriter and director are.
The film was originally called The Fall of the White House. In order to distinguish it from the fall of Olympus, which has been translated into the fall of the White House, and to avoid the embarrassment of the two films of Hercules and Hercules, it was finally translated into a shocking crisis. Isn't the film a shocking crisis that is extremely dangerous for both the United States and the world.
Since it is directed by Emmerich, the king of disaster films, there must be no less catastrophic scenes and landmarks destroyed in the film. But just how much does Emmerich love to blow up the Capitol, nearly every one of his catastrophic blockbusters is destroyed. Independence Day, the day after tomorrow, 2012, the shocking crisis, Congress and the President of the United States are really exhausted. The film ends up being a nuclear bomb crisis, and like Impossible 4, the nuclear bomb is still fired. However, compared to the spy 4 nuclear bomb hitting the building, at least one thing was blown up in the shocking crisis. Although the proverb says that anti-aircraft guns are overkill for fighting planes, people used nuclear bombs to blow up US Air Force One. In addition, the three replacements of the US presidency during this crisis are extremely rare in Hollywood movies.
Although the routine is disgusting, there are not many new ideas. Fortunately, the details of this film are very well done. Aside from the protagonist's halo and the bugs in the gun battle, many of the turning points are actually echoed by a large number of plots, which are logically reasonable. These places are mainly concentrated in the opening paragraph of the film. The Secret Service leader took off the American flag brooch at home and placed it in front of his son's portrait, which was enough to suggest that there was something wrong with the guy. And he insisted on giving his favorite female subordinate a holiday in the office, and told her to leave immediately and go back to rest, which was another special move. It is also worth noting that he and the speaker, who is guarded by the male protagonist, are still using an outdated BP machine. In addition, the pocket watch that the president has been repeatedly mentioned, even specifically stated that this watch is placed in his pocket close to his heart, and I also know that it will eventually play a big role. Therefore, although the Shocking Crisis has repeatedly staged the old plot, but considering that there are sufficient details to follow, it will not feel unreasonable.
There's a lot of humor in the film, too, focusing on the president, played by Jamie Foxx, who, like Samuel L. Jackson, has a serious and funny style. That is to say, he may not have come to be funny, but instead it has a comedic effect. After all, this role is set to be a literati president who has power from his pen, but if he wants to fight in this crisis, he will inevitably be as funny as asking a powerless scholar to kill a chicken. I don't know if it was intentional, but the film made fun of the pen. As a result, President Xiucai directly picked up the pen holder and used it as a weapon. It is also useful to demonstrate the pen holder in person.
Emmerich has made action movies, always with a bit of a disaster-movie vibe. However, his revival of the old-school style is like a clear stream. Even if it does not stir up too much waves, it can always make people change their tastes when they are tired of high-tech and hard style.
