The awakening of the killing machine

Special Forces, for this very special class of arms, almost all related concepts in my mind come from various film and television works. In these movies or TV series, no matter which country special forces soldiers are superhuman beings, in addition to possessing In addition to extraordinary physical stamina and strength, all kinds of weapons can be used at hand, and they can be used well. In the case of no weapons, all of them are masters in hand-to-hand combat. Surrounded by several strong men, they often fight each other in the blink of an eye. After a trip to the ground, in short, these people are killing machines forged by extremely cruel training.

The protagonist of this film is such a member of the British special forces, but his fate is a bit miserable. After witnessing all his comrades in arms were killed instantly, and died quite uselessly, he fell into madness, and then... He escaped in the hospital and disappeared in the neon of the city. However, he who lived on the street for a long time was tortured by hunger and cold for a long time. It was like a tiger falling in the sun. He was bullied by two gangsters, but he quickly found one for him. The vacant house, where he licked the wound alone like a wounded lion, gradually recovered his injuries and gradually returned to the old style. The sharp killing machine was replaced with lubricating oil, recharged, sharpened the blade, and started again. Up and running.

This time Jason Statham still didn't get rid of the action scene, but then again, the audience who bought tickets for him are probably going to see him fist and flex his muscles. In the recent works, there are fewer and fewer action scenes. This is the case in this film. There are some sporadic play scenes interspersed with. Although the play is quite exciting, it is really too little, and it is not very enjoyable to watch. . The story is still not very complicated, but it seems that in recent Western movies, various Chinese elements have gradually increased, but most of them are not a good thing. Most of them are ridiculed and shoddy made in China, or come with two Asian faces that look like a shame. , Either the whole Chinese gangsters, and then take a couple of Chinese words, hey... Anyway, it is to focus on the disgusting Chinese. A crazy nun becomes a bright spot in the film. The ending of the story is a bit bleak, and the protagonist is...

a more typical Jason Statham-style work, which is not bad.

    For the first time, I thought that a film made in London could be so boring. . .
