For handsome guys like Pierce Brosnan, who are handsome men and men, the older they are, the more attractive they are, and the older they are, the more attractive they are. The gestures are full of time rings left by the vicissitudes of the years, and they are not shocking and meticulous, and there is an indescribable magic and charm that people are impressed by. But such a gentleman and beautiful man, after leaving 007, he never left memorable film and television works. No matter what kind of role he played, what kind of drama he took, he was always cold and cool. The image, apart from the presence of James Bond, there is really no memorable role to bring us, and after he resigned from 007, the movies he took over also deliberately avoided the role of an agent, so that people Try to keep his image as free as possible from the role of 007, but unfortunately the 007 he played makes people too impressed, so that no matter how he tries to change his image among people, it is endless. In this movie, he picked up the role of an agent again. He didn't fight too much. Most of the time he was constantly dealing and chasing. Although not as exciting as the 007 movie, he played a 007 post. Modern life.

It seems that the film no longer pursues the kind of carefulness and conscientiousness in the plot, and can withstand scrutiny. The excessively scattered narrative makes the film logically unreasonable. The fast-paced advancement of the plot deepens the film to a certain extent. The tension and the sudden gun battle also deepened the intensity of the movie. It’s just that the setting of the movie’s revenge plot makes people not feel that strong emotionally. The overly calm and depressive atmosphere makes the whole film fall into a state of suspense and panic. The cat-and-mouse-like plot game is obvious. It did not achieve the goal of stunning, but the constant flipping of the plot made the development of the film a certain degree of uncertainty. The James Bond we saw in the movie is no longer tender and suave, but has become an old man who knows how to forbear, know how to accumulate and make thin hair. With his mature and sophisticated experience, he can kill the enemy like no one. In the realm, it’s just that the film was edited too fast, and the gunfight was too dazzling. It was very enjoyable to watch, but it faintly lowered the level of the movie unknowingly. The film unknowingly walked in the gunfight to support the scene. Second-rate setting. The movie hardly laid out the so-called plot, but let the plot that happened later outline and recall the plot that matched it bit by bit. It has to be said that it is difficult to understand what the story is about to happen, and how No matter how you look at it, the movie plays a purely nosy part of the dog and the mouse. Revenge is revenge, and it saves people and starts dating. Even the little bit of love is designed so that you don’t have it. feel. The backgrounds of the characters in the movie are even more crap. I will come here for a while, and I will get a little bit of it. Don’t you know what the secret agent is? You can continue to dig out the unknown background. , Which also makes it difficult for the screenwriter to do it. As a special agent film, the movie has very few action scenes, perhaps because Pierce Brosnan’s age is too old and he can’t move and he is given special care. On the contrary, gunfight scenes are more numerous. The difference in the scene is that the shooting of the gunfight scene is fast and neat, and almost instantly kills all the enemies encountered. This has to be said to reduce the degree of excitement of the gunfight scene in the movie. Although it also adds a lot of gunfight scenes in it, it is of the same nature. The repetition without the slightest change makes the movie seem a bit outdated and not new.

The film is adapted from Bill Granger's novel "No Spy". Obviously, the film is not as comprehensive and detailed as described in the book. The conspiracy shown in the film has almost no resistance and no twists and turns in the process of exposing it. It does not show the secret and difficult to expose of conspiracy and trickery. This is bound to be unconvincing in the development of the story, and it is difficult for people to feel the satisfaction of the whole process. On the other hand, many shots in the movie are designed to be bloody, and the use of visual effects as a selling point also affects the level of production. , And the bloody way to test humanity in the movie far exceeds all the scales of the movie roles that Pierce Brosnan once participated in.

The lineup of the movie is still very luxurious. Forever Bond Pierce Brosnan, plus the Bond girl Oga Kerry Lancome from "The Big Break Quantum Crisis", it looks like a Bond movie, but the plot is weak. Even the glamorous Brosnan can't make up. On the contrary, Kerui Lancome's performance gave a lot of surprises to a certain extent. The combination of an old handsome guy and a handsome guy is the magic weapon for the movie to attract female audiences the most, and male audiences can only be jealous of others. Old Bond could have an affair in his later years.
