In the second part, both the actors and the production team have maintained the original lineup, and the visual effects have been upgraded. It must have added more input costs. Although the nonsensical Irish brothers are still full of swearing, innocent, affectionate and loving ten years later, although the story still continues the "dark and violent aesthetics" of the previous work, concocting a series of great symbolic aesthetics of gun battle scenes, but its The sharpness of cult has been greatly weakened-this is due to the fact that "The Execution Man 2" did not inject more fresh ideas, but carried the old chivalry of "walking for the sky" in the first part to the end. The first appearance is called originality, and the second appearance can only sigh the same. No creativity means no novelty. Although there are innovations in form (the female FBI old-fashioned cowboy style retelling the crime scene of the saint), it is essentially correct. The simple inheritance of the first part is just to follow suit.
In addition, "Punished Man 2" retains a rare "innocent" feeling in gang violence movies in recent years. Since the first film, the characters in the film have been distinguished between good and evil. The Irish brothers have unconditionally won the loyalty and love of a group of people. "Actress" gave infinite candor and trust. This feeling is very strange. It is like watching a Hong Kong movie 20 years ago. It evoked my nostalgia. In recent years, I have watched a lot of blockbuster movies full of "Infernal Affairs" and "Lies and Deceptions." If you watch too much, there may be a shocking reversal in the last second before the end of a movie. Good people turn into bad people, and angels turn into demons. , Watching "The Execution Man 2" I am not adapting well-I always think that someone who seems to be loyal will jump out and betray everyone for a while (the uncle of the Mexican Romeo, I always thought he was a big man who betrayed the brothers and fathers. Khan), in the end, it turns out that good people are good people, and bad people are bad people. A gangster movie that has no betrayal and infinite—I became the one with a gloomy mind.
Also worth mentioning is the addition of two heavyweight supporting roles in the second part, replacing William Dafoe, a sexy and intelligent female FBI agent who serves justice, and a Mexican strange and funny fight master Romeo who replaces the original gangster boy Rock. —Because of being so brilliant, I even stole the protagonist's limelight — as mentioned before, the brothers are still cool and handsome, and the spoof is still, but because they have seen it in the previous movie, even the rituals during the execution are not there anymore. The freshness of the first part-I had to look forward to the JQ worthy of YY, this part did not disappoint me. First of all, there are still a lot of delicious service-level shots. At the beginning, there is a close-up of naked bathing, and the brothers share a picture of the crucifixion on the back of the brothers. Second, Murphy had a conversation about dyeing hair when he was tattooing Connor. Na made fun of Murphy and gay. Also, the two live treasures were still pinched before carrying out their tasks, and they were still innocent for ten years; most importantly, I don’t think the two brothers have the idea of marrying a wife and having children. , Staying together day and night for ten years, there is no room for others to insert, after returning from the arena, encountering such a beautiful female FBI agent, it seems that there is no spark of it... It is estimated that the two brothers will be sure, must, and can only in the future. It is to keep watching each other.
In order to increase the sense of dignity and depth, the film adds a historical story to the cool white beard dad-the old story between the boy father and the lame assistant is really full of strong "godfathers" Heaviness and Italian romance. Over 35 years of grievances and grievances, the tension between the two people is sufficient (corruption is also sufficient, there is a lot of space worthy of sex), and the final dialogue, plus the shootout drama, is really quite "Wu Yusen"!
The end hastily and many unsolved mysteries, Uncle William gave a stunned glance. The brothers woke up in the prison detention center covered in gauze. The supporters on one side of the window held a placard, and the many criminals inside the iron gate on the other side watched. It seems that "The Execution Man 3" does not have to wait another 10 years for movie fans. Strike while the iron is hot, and hurry up and deliver the final chapter. I hope that the third part can be innovative on the basis of the first part, and it is more popular than the second part. The degree is even better, to find the perfect balance between cult and mainstream, word-of-mouth and box office win-win.
