"Hummingbird Attack": A literary revenge journey

Merritt 2022-01-03 08:02:15

In recent years, action star Jason Statham seems to have few impressive movies, low cost, mediocre, and clichés seem to have labeled this new generation of action stars! Quick attack, clever action, steady and ruthless style of play once made him the most valuable action star in Hollywood, but no classic work that can be remembered has become the only regret left by the star to the world, Jie Sen seems to be aware of this. Judging from the films he has received over the past few years, it seems that he no longer pays attention to the action characteristics of the movie's personal style, and is more inclined to the prominence of his personal acting skills and plot! Although he has received a lot of mediocre and bad movies, and once pushed his career to the bottom of the abyss, he still worked very hard to prove himself and prove that he can also be a great actor! From the beginning of this movie, Jason Statham is trying to change his acting path, trying to interpret the inner journey of the character with acting skills. We can also see his hard work and breakthroughs in acting, but we are acting on him. The positioning of a star makes his efforts a waste for us. We don’t want to see his creed performance, but only hope to see him fight fiercely. Only in this way can we be satisfied, but this is for him. It has become an unfairness!

The movie as a whole is a literary and artistic film, just because Jason Statham added a bit of action to the movie, but you will find that there are very few fighting scenes, and it disappears in almost a minute or two! Fans who are accustomed to Jason Statham’s movies will be disappointed in this movie because he does not have what we expect and want to see. The movie mainly reflects the connotation of the whole plot, which is a theme and doctrine of redemption and being redeemed. ! The film is a work full of British style. It is serious and stereotyped and true. It explores the criticalism of the film to the end. It also tells the struggle between morality and selfishness! It is difficult for us to understand the thinking of the British. There seems to be a kind of old-fashioned spirit in their human nature. They will really explore and debate the things they can't understand, but return to their own emotions and selfish desires. Have to start to escape and sink! They dare to face the cruelty of reality and darkness, but they dare not face the guilt in their hearts. Maybe this is the characteristic of a nation! This movie is different from Jason Statham's other movies, and it also breaks through the heroic image he has successfully portrayed, completely becoming an anti-hero character! The biggest attraction of the movie is to watch the acting explosion of action stars, whether it is a desperate homeless man, or a worthless drunk, or a hero who punishes evil, promotes good and robs the rich and helps the poor, or an ordinary man with sentimental children, Jason Statham can well interpret and play his superb acting skills with ease! But speaking of it, when the movie reaches the end, the theme of the movie seems to be a little off topic. We can't find what the movie wants to highlight, whether it is about feelings or self-salvation, and it has become a bit vague!

The movie feels pretty good, alluding to social reality, exposing social contradictions, and expressing the deepest emotions and appeals in people’s hearts, but the plot setting of the movie is relatively rigid, and the main line of story development is not clear enough and organized. It feels like a mess! The film has both human salvation elements and a touch of love story feeling. It is vague and ambiguous. It does not feel the distinction between primary and secondary, nor does it clearly express what the director wants to express!

The movie is very messy, with a sense of randomness. It doesn't have a very clear theme! There are too many things to express in the movie. If you break it down, the time can be expanded to more than two hours. The editing of the movie is too random. Sometimes the plot is very abrupt and unreasonable! But the biggest highlight of the movie is the performance of the male and female protagonists. Jason Statham allows us to see the other side of his tenderness, and also lets us understand that he is not only good at kung fu, but also art and art! It just lacks people's passion for his actions, and the movie doesn't look so good!
