With anticipation.
I have read the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy and "Air Rescue". Although the plot is blurred for a long time, I just remember that it was very cool to watch at that time. , thieves pull blood.
At first glance it was Liam Neeson again, and at first glance it was rescue again, and he was immediately excited, "Yeah, hey, it's cool to watch again!"
It is because of this full of anticipation that the first third of the movie made me more irritable when I watched it for the first time.
One swipe: open low and go high, half a good movie
Lay out the characters, reveal the motives of the protagonist's actions, create difficulties, add a little foreshadowing to the customers who will be mentioned later, and dig a hole and wait for the later plot to fill in.
Peace of mind, I changed my expectations when I watched it for the second time, only to find that the front is actually quite interesting, there is almost no waste, almost all the details about the protagonist, the background family and the characters in the car have a role in the back.
But when I first saw it, I didn't think so.
The flat and direct narrative is too long, the characters are too many and fragmented, the picture is dirty after entering the train, the crowded crowd in the cramped space, can not stand the depression.
At that time, I had completely incarnated as a young mindless young man in the middle school. After 10 minutes of enduring it, I began to count silently in my heart every second. A mouthful of old blood was stagnant in my heart, and there was only one thought in my mind:
"Don't be a motherfucker! Whatever the whole conflict, hurry up and start it!"
"Can you stop rubbing your teeth... Salted fish doesn't need a camera, so let's hurry up and show your tricks!"
After patiently enduring it for about half an hour, the old man couldn't help the temptation of money, and finally walked into the abyss of crime.
"That's right, that's right. Come on, come and come out, come out and give Nissen uncle to play wild!"
shock! The 60-year-old man has finally embarked on the road of no return. Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of the human heart?
Enthusiasm has risen again, and he is waiting happily to see the old man explode and start the killing god mode.
However, the movie was still uneventful. The expected Nissen Berserker did not appear, but the Nissen Scout appeared, stepping on his thick-soled old man shoes to start a fitness walk on the train.
"Fall! This is not the uncle jungler I want to see!"
Oops, people are dead, Oops, my family is threatened... However, there is no turbulence in my heart, and I even want to yawn.
This is really not bad for me. The tension is conveyed through a phone call. There is not a single scene of suffering from the family. The rhythm has been pushed weakly, the soundtrack can't keep up, and the emotions can't be mobilized.
After 60 minutes, the drama finally started.
"Da Da Da, this is the rescue I want to see! It's the old man... It seems that he was hammered very badly..."
The main dish was finally served, and the fight with the killer began in 60 minutes. However, this fight is in the same style as the previous one. It is old and slow. Although it is punched to the flesh, it is more like fighting a trapped beast in a cage, with a primitive and clumsy aesthetic.
Watching the 67-year-old fight like this, half of his blood turned into admiration, and half turned into an indescribable feeling.
The plot after that began to meet the expectations of the boom, and gradually entered the climax and ending.
The small knife in the boss battle was a surprise. The young bad policeman walked in a sharp style, and the rustling sound of breaking the air increased the tension, and finally people began to worry about the fate of the protagonist, although everyone knew that this was unnecessary.
Kind of like, cheetah vs bull? It's just that bulls are smarter than cheetahs.
The ending is still very happy. After the first 60 minutes of laying out, the quality of the last 40 minutes is indeed quite good. And the 5 points scored in the middle of the movie was changed to 7 points by me at the end.
Second brush: It turned out to be a Japanese suspense drama
With the overall look and feel of the first time, I watched the first 60 minutes without being arrogant or impatient.
After looking at it, I found that there are still quite a lot of holes dug in the front, and the filling in the back is also good. The whole movie is still quite neat.
Elite men hate having people change seats, little Taimei's bad boyfriend, the train conductor's complaint, the flight attendant's flirtation... They're all made up for later.
Wait, put a lot of thought into the trivialities, complain and ridicule life in a few whole sentences from time to time, and find someone to dig up someone's private past. This kind of trick... I seem to have seen it somewhere.
It suddenly dawned on me that they all learned from the island country!
In the name of rescue, Nima is dressed as an action movie. In fact, you are a suspense movie of the life of an old Japanese detective, right?
Look at the name, "Commuter Rescue", with a strong Japanese flavor.
However, Hollywood movies have a Japanese flavor, and they still feel inconsistent.
One is the rhythm. The rhythm of the Japanese system is slow or fine. Hollywood's skin is used for action movies. It is not bad, or it is not dealt with, and it does not match the expectations of the audience. Just like me the first time, all I wanted was to fight, why didn't I fight?
The second is suspense, the rhythm is slow, and the sense of suspense has not yet come out, so this film will look boring. However, slow rhythm is good for learning suspense but not easy to learn. Weird music, pretentious expressions, and a wolf-infested atmosphere at any time. It is a comprehensive thing. Obviously, "Commuter Rescue" has a bad breath.
I feel that the transition to suspense is also a helpless move. After all, the funds are limited, and the old man is old. At 67 years old, no matter how tough he is, he can't always make the bells and bells in the sky. Even if Uncle Nissen can withstand the toss, the drama The characters in it can't stand the toss.
No matter how you set the background to be awesome, seeing an old man who is almost old always beats a fat guy, we young people pretend to be men, and the middle-aged greasy man can't hang on his face.
So the whole point is suspense, reasoning, try and try more, it's good.
Just have to do more.
So when you go to watch it, change your expectations, don't think about watching popular action blockbusters, the experience can be improved a lot.
And in the next 40 minutes, you can still enjoy it. The key is to look at you, what kind of vision and mentality, and look at the previous hour.
- I have seen the director's "Shark Shore", I have an idea, I seem to like adding family drama to the thriller and suspense;
- From time to time, there will be dramas in "Source Code";
- The FBI's mobile phone inside is still WP8 system. Is it because the big fan is black or the giant really gave the money?
- The Goldman Sachs guy with eyes higher than the top seems to be Indian, haha.
