In terms of characters, I don't understand why so many big names are invited. Not that I don't like Sandra, I kinda like her. But her inscrutable smile in the movie is a bit too rigid. It runs through from beginning to end, which makes people tired. Not only the heroine, it can be said that except for Anne Hathaway, everyone else has only one side, all of which are shown in the label that is clear at a glance. Maybe the director wanted to add some character depth to this cool film, but it failed completely. The choice of actors shows the ambition of the film, and so many heroines have been gathered to serve as supporting roles. It's really super twisted to see the big devil and Helena play such leafy supporting roles. Especially the big devil, my goddess was born to be a king, and it is really not suitable to play the number one horse boy who is responsible for recruiting horses. When her role was played by Brad Pitt in Eleven Arhats, she gave the impression that she was very capable and had her own story. Although she was helping the male lead, she was a close friend. In this film, the female second completely lost the personal charm brought by the rich background. This is the cauldron of writers and directors.
The tense and critical parts of the plot were resolved too quickly and simply, such as scanning the necklace with glasses and breaking down the necklace where it was almost discovered. The place where the conflict broke out has passed before it goes too deep. The plot of the two queens "quarreling" by the lake is basically a mirror image of the eleven Arhats, but the inscrutable smile of the female lead and the pale transition make this conflict also impossible. Just become a mirror image. These overly simple snacks make the whole movie more superficial.
And the stereotype of Asian-faced characters is as irritating as ever: petite and acrobatic. And there are two such characters in particular (the Asian thief and the little Chinese stunt man who goes to steal jewelry). Yang came from Eleven Arhats. Although he was very important, he had no sense of existence. Let those who haven't seen Eleven Arhats or who have long forgotten him (like me) just think that this little guy just popped out of a balloon out of thin air.
There are also targets to steal. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and watching this kind of cool film has also been substituted into reality. I can't help but feel sorry for the GALA organizers, security, Cartier managers, and all those in charge. The Eleven Arhats are for the bad boyfriend of the ex-wife, the Twelve Arhats bullied a nasty hotel owner (if I remember correctly), and the beauty plan here only feels that the person who was stolen is innocent and pitiful. If there is a realistic sequel next, it would be that these people were all fired, and then they couldn't find a new job because of this major mistake, and they started a messy life, and finally took the road of revenge society. I can understand.
