Let's talk about the rating first, five stars.

reason. Naked violent aesthetics, muscle pieces, all kinds of assassinations, all kinds of headshots and flesh and blood. The rhythm is compact, without procrastination, the plot is more clever, and there are no obvious bugs. The ending is reversed.

Combining the above factors, is it not enough for five stars? After reading other people's comments, it seems to be a remake, but I haven't seen the previous one, it's very new to me. After reading some movie reviews that I think are over-analyzed, I feel that it is unnecessary.

The film-style photography techniques in the title, the retro feel, coupled with Jason Statham's neat assassination methods, make people addicted.

There are various assassinations in the movie, various instructions on how to act, a killer style, but more indifferent than ordinary killers.

This is the first movie that made me feel the aesthetics of violence, and it has a strong impact. I will continue to watch the second movie, and I will continue to watch it with Quentin's Kill Bill and Luc Besson's violent block alternates.

    Harry McKenna: Oh, then you're in deeper shit than I thought.

  • Arthur Bishop: Not so good for your side.

    Dean: Those were my two best teams. Guess I'll have to send more.
