Tom, the handsome uncle in my heart

For this kind of film where you can guess the plot just by looking at the introduction, I always watch the main character, yes, Tom. I heard that in Europe and the United States, Jack Reacher is a very famous IP, but domestic readers may not catch it. The solitary and wise Jack Reacher combines the advantages of Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt. In the second part, these characteristics of Jack are partly inherited, such as extraordinary observation. He is good at taking advantage of opportunities everywhere; he is good at seeing opportunities, and can win more with less; he is especially able to endure hardship and fight, etc. But the tenderness of the second part has become a failure of his character. A man who is entangled in little love and love is not worthy of the title of "Xia" Detective. Therefore, I personally think that Jack is still suitable to be a solitary hero. In fact, the earliest commercial films revolved around heroism. This is true of Hollywood, and the same is true of Chinese films. Just like when you are interviewing on the street, if you ask Chinese action movie actors, many people will say Jackie Chan or Jet Li. This may also stem from the "heroic dream" in every teenager's heart, so this kind of strong personal heroism No matter how bad the color film is, many people will still watch it. Of course, this film is not a bad film, but 99% of the places are very conventional. Tom's acting skills are still online, and he worked very hard to play the role of Jack. I just don't know if it is related to age. Some difficult fights seem a little out of hand, so in "Jack Reacher 2", Tom's fights are basically ended with a few moves. The only scene that makes people feel bright is the final hand-to-hand fight with the villain. The degree of viciousness of each punch, the sound of broken bones, the neat and vigorous movements, and the camera effect, the adrenal glands surged immediately. It is said that Tom is getting old, it is true. It's just that even if I'm old, in my heart, Brother Tom is still that handsome uncle with a handsome face and neat skills, so Brother Tom, you can go forward with confidence and don't look back.
