I have been looking forward to it for half a year. I refreshed the imdb page almost every day and waited for new news. After reading it today... Although I knew I would be disappointed, I didn't expect this disappointment to be different from ordinary disappointment of watching a bad movie. All of David Ayer’s introductions are Training Day and End of Watch. I think part of the success of Training Day can be attributed to Denzel Washington’s acting skills. From the screenwriter’s point of view, there is no very good part, and the lines are not very amazing. Many swear words do not mean true temperament. The success of End of Watch lies in the subject matter. It uses a large number of documentary methods and the processing and design of some details is very clever, but the whole story is actually very single, but the details are very full and true, and you will not feel the story when you watch it. boring. And it's worth mentioning that the action designs such as holding the gun and searching the room in End of Watch are all striving to be completely real, which is great.

But look at Sabotage (what is the shock killing?), there is no aura before, no details of the end of watch and the integrity of the training day. I’ve been talking about bringing an unseen Arnold to the audience before. Now it seems that I have never seen it. Arnold’s acting skills are as bad as before. The conversation with Samwo Xindun in the strip club is just the same. It can be completely seen that these two people's acting skills are not above the same level, but it is a pity that Arnold is far worse than Worthington, although he does not want to admit it. Ayer may have always wanted to make a blockbuster and independent film, but this time he failed. A good hand in his hand did not make a beautiful straight flush at all.

The investment of 35 million US dollars is not a big deal. These actors are not paid low, and I can feel that most of the money has been spent in a few fairly good action scenes. The film is rated R, but the level of blood is not very high. Everyone is full of swear words, which is another problem. Arnold’s accent will always cause a burst of laughter when he says what the fuck. And the uncle is already 65+, so don’t let him play a one-night stand with 40+ women who are still pretending to be tender. When Arnold chewed up and cheated, there was a burst of exclamation in the cinema...and why his team members They died one by one. The teammates they had always advertised as family had no reaction at all. They switched to smoking cigars and playing instead. This was purely a question of the director and the script.

The style of the picture remains End of Watch, but it doesn't have the charm of the previous one, and the editing is chaotic. This should also have something to do with Arnold's performance. Seriously, it doesn't take the scene. There is a Go Pro lens on the front sight and a few shots shot by the front sight. The others are more mediocre. The sound production is mediocre. I can hardly hear the dialogue in the first ten minutes. I don’t know if it was a deliberate design or a ring release problem or a theater problem. . The music is not good, and there is typically no funds, all written on the cheeks. And there is another thing I am very strange about the way this film is promoted. Both Arnold and Joe Manganiello go to various places and brag about each other like the father and son. They also slapped WWE and slapped Hulk Hogan. These three brag together, why? And why the poster is made like this.

I am a loyal fan of Arnold. The Last Stand after being improperly governed, I think the Escape Plan is actually good. At least Arnold can no longer support his role by flexing his muscles. I think his current figure should be severely shrunk. It is taken in Sabotage. The shots of Arnold's whole body can be counted, and it is also in the Escape Plan. In fact, we don’t mind watching wrinkles. In recent years, the age of the protagonists of action movies has gradually risen. From the previous 28, 9 to now generally 40 years old to more than 50, the audience likes to watch the old gangsters. Work hard to find the touch when they played 28 and 9 more than ten years ago. Even though Arnold can't even open his eyes and can't sell his legs, I still like to watch him kill people on the screen, but every time I feel sad, I watch one less one. The next one is Maggie. It should have been finished and started post-production, an independent film, related to zombies. Anyway, look forward to it!

Let's GET TO DA CHOPPPPAAAAAA!!!!!

    David Ayer is so messy, and he especially likes to shoot so many characters.
