Lian Po is old

Another movie that I went to watch with my mom (I wanted to watch the number one player, but I failed...), and it turned out that this movie is quite suitable for my mom, who is not very logical.

Uncle Liam is really old. After watching this movie, I immediately thought of Jackie Chan's "British Showdown" (although I haven't seen it 〒_〒). I'm still very interested in how the aging action stars should choose their works in their twilight years, and how they will choose.

Lian Po is old, can he still eat? It can still be seen in this movie that Uncle Liam still has a lot of action scenes of "eating and eating". Uncle Liam still plays very hard, but he still feels a little weak. Whether this is good or bad, let's take a closer look.

From the plot point of view, a crime movie has everything that a crime movie should have, and at the same time it is complete (I feel that the standard for my rating is that as long as the story is complete, there will be at least one point?) There is also one less surprise, and there are many in it" "Deliberately" created thrilling points, people know at a glance that the protagonist will never die, of course, there are also wonderful ones (for example, I like the part of derailment, and it looks good after derailment) and I don't know if my intuition is more accurate, from the movie At the beginning, I probably guessed the boss, and I almost didn't have the experience of watching the movie. . . .

In this paragraph, let's talk about Uncle Liam's weak action scenes. Is it because of old age? Yes, so the play is not exciting? No, it's still very exciting, because it fits the character. In this play, Uncle Liam's character is a frustrated middle-aged ex-salesman and ex-cop. The pressure of life forces him into this predicament. As the plot progresses, it can be seen that the male protagonist is getting more and more behind. The more we feel weak, not because of the actor, but the role. As the situation gradually deviated from the pre-conceived, the family of the male protagonist was also threatened. We can feel his despair and struggle. So this kind of fatigue is acceptable. Of course, there are also some cool shots (wink if I remember correctly...)

The progression of the plot is also very simple. The director "no" deliberately shows all kinds of details so that you can easily understand it (memory flashbacks are also super intimate)

The feeling of watching this movie is like reading a bedtime story, waiting for justice to defeat evil, and then you can fall asleep peacefully after a happy ending. Recommended index. . . . . as long as you are happy.

The Commuter quotes

  • Michael MacCauley: So, I heard something earlier today, a hypothetical question.

    Tony: Uh-huh. What was the question?

    Michael MacCauley: What if someone asked you to do one little thing, something that's meaningless to you, but would affect another passenger on this train? Would you do it?

    Tony: I don't know. What's in it for me?

    Michael MacCauley: $100,000.

    Tony: Absolutely!

    Michael MacCauley: You don't even know what it is.

    Tony: It doesn't matter. Come on.

    Jackson: So, what is that one little thing?

    Michael MacCauley: A passenger on this train doesn't belong. They're carrying a bag, but you don't know what it looks like. All you have to do is find them before they get off.

    Tony: That's it? It's not much to go on, Mike.

    Michael MacCauley: Tell me about it.

    Jackson: And what happens when you find 'em?

    Michael MacCauley: They die. Hypothetically.

    Tony: So what would you do, Mike?

    Michael MacCauley: I'd get all the people left on the train in one car, propose that very scenario.

    Tony: No, no, no, no, no. I mean, would you take the money?

    Michael MacCauley: You know what? I already did.

  • Tony: Hey, Mike, what happened to the guy with the guitar?

    Michael MacCauley: He got off.
