When foreign films are introduced, they will always force a translation, and Dangerous Love Hourly Speed ​​is such a film that was harmed by this clichéd translation. When I first saw the name, I thought it was another boring emotional film. When I saw the English name, I began to complain that the SARFT destroyed the title of another movie. After watching the movie, I realized that the SARFT has destroyed more than that. A name that directly ruined a movie.

The speed of crisis, the English name is unstoppable, and the Hong Kong translation is unstoppable. The plot is very simple. The driverless train is heading for the densely populated Houston at full speed. Finally, the hero of the worker comes out, the train is stopped, the city is saved, and the hero is promoted. , the capitalist has stepped down, happy ending. It is said that it was adapted from real events. The genre is very old-fashioned. It is still the heroism that the United States used to advertise, and the star lineup is also average. Such a simple and unplayable plot can be described as thin, but Tony . Scott is very good at creating a tense atmosphere in a race against time with shots from various angles, and the director's skill has to be admired.

The one-and-a-half-hour movie, a large number of aerial shots, constantly changing scenes, and the absolutely real sense of collision of a train crossing the border make people feel completely unable to feel the passage of time. The performances of Denzel Washington and Chris Pine are also remarkable, and the blond uncle Ned is also the highlight of the film. In view of the fact that the plot is too simple, the recommendation index is two and a half stars, especially recommended to go to the cinema, the computer can never experience the shock of the train crossing the border.

ps: Personally, I like the blond uncle the most. He is full of personality and is recommended.
