Mid-life crisis uncle steps down the Russian gang

Ephraim 2022-09-25 23:49:55

Have you ever thought about, or are experiencing, the daily repetition of life, the two-point line of the company and the family, feeling bored and depressed.

Have you ever thought that some people use all their strength to maintain such a life.

It's hard to tell whether the people living in it are really enjoying it, or are they just deceiving themselves.

But when you see such an ordinary middle-aged man, you must believe that there must be a more complicated past behind him.

01

When such a middle-aged man encounters a huge accident, it may be the moment of reawakening. This is tantamount to giving him a second life.

The male protagonist of this film, the way of awakening may be a bit extreme.

The uncle used to be an auditor with a military background, and now lives a day-to-day life as a family of four, making him think this life story will continue like this.

Unexpectedly, after a burglary, everything spirals out of control.

His son fought the enemy bravely, but he did not fight back. For this reason, he had to endure all kinds of bullshit from his son, neighbors, and uncle.

Just when you thought that he regretted that he didn't attack at that time, you found out that he only told his "old comrades" what he said.

He just made a deliberate decision by a middle-aged man, and avoided an unnecessary fierce battle.

However, once the cage was opened, the fierce inner monster was about to come out.

In fact, he is the person who can't rub the sand the most in his eyes.

What he believes in is probably blood for blood.

Next, is his personal performance moment.

02

In the first battle, the bus tried its hand.

The uncle's fight scenes are handled with extreme restraint, with outbursts of instinct, efficient killings, crisp movements, and very explicit and cruel details, making people feel that the uncle is facing the trouble he caused and calmly watching the bloody scene .

In the end, he did not forget to rescue the half-dead stray young man on the spot, and gave him the care of a middle-aged man.

But the object of care is not grateful, because the injured person is a crazy Russian boss. Although the boss is in charge of the "retirement property" of all Russian bosses, he can be regarded as a professional manager, but he is often insane and extremely evil. How evil is it? Just chatting with you, you can maim someone who has nothing to do with it, just to show your majesty.

Such a bully, his most addictive opponent is the uncle who is going through a mid-life crisis.

In his words, the other party is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

In fact, I can understand at the end, uncle, maybe it is the devil who is more difficult to control.

03

The uncle here is revelling in the warmth of the family candlelight dinner. The big team has already rushed to the door with murderous intent. Now, he should be extremely regretful.

Not calling the police is the last stubbornness of the uncle on the road.

The uncle is still neat and tidy. He used a bat to give the gangsters the last care. He also gave them the pizza he made himself to taste. He also used a fire extinguisher to teach the hot-tempered gangster to be a man. In the end, he had to put together a regular display and talk about it. What did they learn this time?

After experiencing some "sermons", the cremation was carefully arranged for the people who came.

Such a middle-aged uncle with calm connotation and heart-warming actions is simply a benchmark among killers.

Do you still think Uncle is just an "auditor" now?

That's right, he is an anonymous "auditor", but a professional in charge of "deleting accounts". He used to work for the FBI. No matter what kind of organization sees him, he will be reimbursed.

Such a man with dirty hands, who also wants to get a 9-to-5 job and a happy family, puts on sheep's clothing.

Don't push the little guy into a corner, because the little guy has nothing to lose.

Then, he said the most heart-wrenching words.

On the way of revenge, in order to teach the Russian boss to behave in a low-key manner, he has endured too much.

The uncle is both a soft and a hard hand, and he is also a preemptive striker, giving the Russian boss an irresistible reason to come to the final decisive battle.

And here, the daily props have already been used to spread the net, ready to serve the bandits patiently.

There is no need to elaborate on the story behind. In the end, you should also guess.

04

Watching such a film, it is easy to think of Keanu Reeves' "Quick Kill" series. The same irritability, the same account clearing expert, but that series is more than one rank higher than this film.

Although this film also has a lot of good treatments, such as several iconic editing techniques, hand-to-hand combat on the bus, wonderful upgrade bridges, etc., but in the end, it is a very cool film with a very routine and a very good plot. Conventional, and there is no very alternative world view structure, even the protagonist can find the shadow of many classic characters in other movies.

The most embarrassing thing is that I don't know if the director deliberately played with deconstruction, or if he really let go of it and didn't bother to waste time on dialogue and connection, even though he didn't even think about it.

"What's wrong with your face?"

"You should look at each other"

Such cliché lines have been moved out, and there are various clichéd handsome poses of the characters, which make people lose sight of them.

It is also a cool movie of killing gods, but the predecessor "Quick Killing God" can do more than tire of brushing, and make judgments.

Moreover, it is also an uncle, this physical condition is indeed not as good as Keanu Reeves, and he is not as good as the latter. When filming the action scenes, he is still a little stiff, as if his body is not his own.

Actually recommending this movie is Tu Yile. If you like high-gloss male lead dramas, or action movies that kill gods, this drama can make you feel some surprises.

The male protagonist is also one of the surprises. He is the lawyer in "Breaking Bad" and "The Coquettish Lawyer". I don't know if it is a coincidence. His role is similar to his old friend, the classic American drama "Lao Bai". His previous roles are quite different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a treasure actor.

I have always believed that life will always break out at different times. If not, it may be that the moment has not been ignited. Therefore, if there is fire, let it go quickly, and don’t miss it after that.
