The most beautiful is the sunset red (slightly spoiler)

It's quite satisfactory, a very good special agent film. In this era when the theme of secret agents is bad, it is embarrassing to release it if it is not unconventional. Without drag racing and beauties, I would be embarrassed to call myself a shootout film.

1. The alternative idea of ​​a group of old guys slaughtering the Quartet can be regarded as a little wave in the spy film on the bad street, and it is full of a lot of cold humor at the same time. Purely fresh.

2. Bruce Willis is still sharp and steady. Hopkins takes on a new role. Lee Byung Hun is so handsome that the action scenes are definitely worth the price. After watching this movie, you may not remember those old men, but you will definitely remember Lee Byung Hun and fall in love with him.

3. There are too many nuclear bombs in special agent films, and it is rare to see people who really dare to play like "RED2". This is also the logical weakness of the film. Although the nuclear bomb did not explode in the city, wouldn't it pollute the environment? Dare to look at it when it explodes, not afraid of blinding your eyes.
Watch the fun, don't care about logic, or just watch it.

4. The plot dragged on for too long, and the consequence was that the wonderful scenes were scattered, and at the end of the performance, I forgot what the conspiracy was.

To sum up, as a special agent film, it has all the elements that it should have, such as gunfights, luxury cars, beautiful women, villains, conspiracies, and the government.
Have their own innovation, old man fights Hollywood, is not common.
But after all, it didn't get out of the vicious circle of secret agent films. The secret agent leaves the factory → encounters a crisis → discovers a conspiracy → the government intervenes → the villain appears (often undercover) → gets it (the villain is often clever but is mistaken by cleverness, doubting their IQ) → world peace.
The conventional plot line can no longer attract the audience. The result is that you go to the cinema just to see the faces of the stars, just to watch the fighting drama. If you have been addicted to your eyes, it will be gone after you have passed it. You can't remember what happened. Do you need to remember?

    Several protagonists of the sunset version of the Expendables are lovable, and the action scenes are still very exciting, although the plot is average

  • Jack Horton: Speaking of Sarah, I love watching her shave her legs in the tub. Kinda reminds me of these Belgian mercs I met in the Congo. They would skin people... alive... to get them to talk.

  • Marvin: Edward Bailey was a genius physicist who built some of the greatest stuff during the Cold War. Neutron bombs, particle beam weapons, nerve gas. Excellent nerve gas. You know, he was a... rock star of conceptual mass killing. They called him the "The Da Vinci of Death."
