Although the constant mobile follow-up and the always-ringing American army passwords in this film make it easy to recall another "Black Hawk Down" with a squad as the protagonist from beginning to end, but I prefer to call it the official version of District 9. Compared with the main line of the combination of strategy and tactics in "Black Hawk" (regardless of the result), "Los Angeles" has a very low perspective, and more often it has spent a lot of effort to create another feeling: survival.
Fans of "Call of Duty", especially the "War of the World" series, should feel a touch of intimacy when they see some of the equipment in the film, but the film cuts off the refreshing blow like a game in a limited space, so that the The overly melodious lines in the back have a foothold. Obedience, calmness, responsibility, bravery, perseverance, these qualities were quietly settled on these vague-faced soldiers. "Let these guys see who they messed up", but also a little bit of power. Compared with the handsome and cool style in "Top Gun" that year, maybe the recruitment advertisement can be shot like this.
In the face of the unknown powerful enemy, the unprepared human army entered the front line of this interstellar war with almost no preparation. It should be that in order to make this stalemate last longer, the offensive power of the alien infantry has been adjusted to a point that looks extremely inconsistent with its technological level, or conversely, the protective equipment of the US military has become strong to a certain extent. This is in my opinion. It seems to be a somewhat understandable design. And the seemingly sloppy reversal attack at the end, although it is estimated that sci-fi fans will slap their legs and curse, but it is better than the education of "Cylinder 2". It is also a blind stream, and it is not shameful .
Alan Hart's face is not too distinctive in American middle school students, but it has become three-dimensional due to the smear of artillery fire. There are some very natural and decent things in his temperament, but more with a sense of obsession that is almost devious. The film plays the protagonist with an ambiguous and painful memory, which is very convincing. But what's more convincing is Michelle Rodriguez. It's been about ten years since "Resident Evil" and "The Fast and the Furious". She has always been that casual expression. Come on, just become a woman. Soldier's spokesperson.
If there are more rescue dramas, maybe this will be a disaster film like "2012", if there are more horror inner dramas, maybe this will be a science fiction film like "World War", but the director decided not to, they Just gritted his teeth, set up a Los Angeles in Louisiana, and made a war movie.
