"City of Extreme Cold" is about: On the eve of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Democratic Republic of Germany fell into the darkest moment. During this period of time, the three spies of the United States, Britain and Russia fought an extraordinary brutal dark battle. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, dozens of The Cold War of 2000 is over (in fact, it is not over, it is just getting rid of the extreme cold).
Director David Ritchie can be regarded as a gold medal action film director in Hollywood. He advocates the flamboyant aesthetics of violence. Take a look at his works in recent years: Speed Attack, Captain America 3, Deadpool... The plot is secondary, the action needs to be cool, the shootout needs to be It's hot, and the blood is going to spew out.
Different from the sci-fi fantasy or surrealism of previous works, the arctic city is a realistic theme, and the background of the story is very attractive, but even the same background and the same spy war theme, in terms of plot, is similar to Spielberg's "Spy". The Bridge is too paediatric. But that doesn't mean it's bad, David Rich has his own point of view:
Aspect one, beauty Theron. Charlize Theron is really amazing as he gets older, and the alluring seductiveness exuding from his whole body is simply irresistible. Coupled with James McAvoy, Eddie Merson, Sofia Bottola, Till Schweiger and other big names in the supporting role, it is really like a star holding the moon.
Aspect two, action scenes. David Ritchie's action scenes are always creative, and at the beginning of this film, the scene where the spy running in panic is hit by a car is so real that I can't find any. flaw. Although most of the following fight scenes are excessively heroic, there are also bright spots.
Aspect three, political background. Look at the 1989 that was very special to many countries in the world, the GDR that was called democracy but was not at all democratic, how the people pushed to the Berlin Wall with surging public opinion against the background of the extremely cold Iron Curtain. Just the few scenes that can most arouse our reflections on the reappearance of history are already worth the ticket price.
