Under the blood is mediocrity

"The Destroyer" has enough blood to render, but it fails to make a brilliant statement on the suspense. The insufficiency of the human plot makes the visual impact of the film also become mediocre, supporting the film It was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was not going to be completely defeated, looking at the old but still full of resolute face, and what he saw was really nothing but feelings.


The movie has a name like "Terminator", but it is quite far from the Hollywood blockbuster. It is hard to see the dangerous situation in "The Expendables", and it lacks the blueprint of the "Escape The Golden Cicada" that is always fair. David ·Aye used his own small set of realistic style in "The End of Alert" in "The Destroyer", replacing special effects and documentary with realistic blood in a new way in advance. , But the character’s facial makeup and the absence of mental shaping made the film in a state of extreme lack of tension from beginning to end, and the ten million dollar proposition, which is simply difficult to stand up, is logically riddled with holes. It’s astounding. For Hollywood movies that have already become industrialized and mass-produced today, such a crappy narrative is indeed a bird of water chestnut.


The skinny of the plot can't conceal the fullness of Arnold as always. After he returned to the film world after retiring as governor in the past few years, he is still the domineering and brave hero in the film, and the years will be indelible on anyone's body. However, he did not choose to retreat. Instead, he is still trying to portray different characters again and again. The persistence in the movie alone is admirable enough, and at the end of "The Destroyer" He is still the single-handed, nonsense and sharp hero, with a good story, but at least there is an old-fashioned Arnold ending with a little sadness. This is no longer the age of the muscular god, but people always Still need such a legend.


The intricate but inflexible plot, the swear words and slang that are full of it does not create any atmosphere, the blood is mediocre, but the film has an actor who is not mediocre-Arnold Schwarzenegger.
