After experiencing the small year of Hollywood movies in 2013, at the beginning of 2014, Hollywood was eager to take a mad siege in China. Directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Chris Pine and Keira Knightley, the spy-war action movie "Trigger" as the vanguard of Hollywood has been scheduled to be released globally on January 17. The audience has just watched Chris Pine play the cool and wise Captain Kirk in "Star Trek" on the IMAX giant screen, and now the classic agent Jack Ryan, also played by him, will once again be on the IMAX giant screen, opening the year Great offering, worth looking forward to.
The popularity and passion of "Trigger" can be seen from the previously exposed trailer. The film tells the story of Jack Ryan, an analyst in the Financial Intelligence Division of the CIA, who accidentally discovered that his boss was planning a shocking conspiracy to subvert the American economy, and was immediately involved in a series of dangerous investigations and pursuits. And Ryan transformed from an analyst to a field agent and went to Moscow to perform a mission. Ryan's fiancée Katie (Keira Knightley), along the way, accidentally discovers his identity as a special agent, and inspires him to help him break the financial conspiracy and complete the mission.
Audiences may not know the name Jack Ryan as well as Ethan in Mission: Impossible and Jason Bourne in Bourne, but this is his fifth time on the screen. Before that, veteran action superstar Harrison Ford, and popular youngster Ben Affleck, who are both excellent directors, have all interpreted this classic spy role. Now, this burden falls on Chris Pine. Although it is a post-acting, the story of this episode is more like a prequel to Jack Ryan, starting from how this legendary spy got into the business, like an aspiring teenager who came to old Shanghai at the beginning of the year. Tan, the drama that will call the wind and call the rain when you become famous in the future is good-looking, and the rampage when you are just a fledgling is also full of highlights.
Compared with the famous sci-fi superheroes such as Iron Man and Spider-Man, the fight scenes in "Trigger" may be less, but they are still tense and exciting. During the pressing time of You Ai, a group of elites from the Intelligence Bureau deduced the violent movements of the reactionary organization through various information analysis. This kind of intellectual transformation and impact can not give visual stimulation, but can give the audience a brain storm, making people deeply feel that wisdom is not only a personal cultivation, but also a deadly weapon.
"Triggered" can be called the gospel of young people's winter vacation schedule. The rhythm of the first half of the film is moderate, and the climax of the second half hits. It is a perfect consumer product for young people who advocate popcorn and fast-paced. Although Chris Pine's performance lacks Ford's sophistication and gentleness, the necessary jerky is more of a character for the fledgling young Jack Ryan. The author admires Ryan's tangled and contradictory, yet resolute aura in Chris Pine's performance. There are too many superheroes in American movies, as if Americans were born to be the saviors of the world. And Parker's performance instead allows us to see Ryan's growth from an ordinary person to a hero. Even though he is also rushing to defend the rights and interests of the United States, he interprets such a hero as flesh-and-blood, affectionate and righteous.
I didn't expect that Chris Pine and Keira Knightley's pairing is still quite the feeling. Although this couple is not as popular as "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the delicate sincerity and persistence in the face of right and wrong really make People feel the same way. Economic crime is more frightening than the explosion of a live ammunition, and the thrilling experience of the intelligent and brave super agents breaking economic conspiracy all the way is even more addicting.
