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

  • Alex Murphy: Mike, I get it. You wanna do the noble thing here. But I got news for you. There ain't no such thing as noble.

    Michael MacCauley: [glancing at Prynne] It was you.

    Alex Murphy: What are you talking about?

    Michael MacCauley: You called me. You knew about the witness. You... you knew what they saw.

    Alex Murphy: Yeah, I told you what happened.

    Michael MacCauley: It was a cop who killed him. You set me up.

  • Sofia: Ricky was a city planner, and some nights he would have to work late, so I-I would go to his office to finish my homework. I was waiting for Ricky by the elevator when these two men show up. I didn't see their faces, but they were looking for Ricky. I hid 'cause I didn't wanna get him in trouble. But they wanted something from him. Then all of them start yelling, and I hear this noise. They were hurting him. I could hear him screaming. And he tells them that he doesn't have it, that it's back at his place.

    Michael MacCauley: You took it.

    Sofia: Of course I took it. I wanted to help. And then I look through the doorway and I see this guy. He's holding Ricky, and he hits him, and he says something about being noble.

    Michael MacCauley: Noble?

    Sofia: He says that doing the right thing will get you killed, and that there's no such thing as being noble. And then, they just... I didn't... I didn't know what to do. I...

    Michael MacCauley: I know.

    Sofia: I just took it, and... and I ran.

    Michael MacCauley: Why didn't you call the police?

    Sofia: I couldn't call the police. The men who killed him were cops.
