To mention Nicolas Cage's bad film history, As soon as the chatterbox is opened, it must be eloquent, which can be traced back to 2007's "Foreseeing the Future". This type of subject matter was originally enough to have the potential of a suspenseful blockbuster, but it was just shrunk by the screenwriter. The line of the plot and the scheduling of the scene were almost bloody to the point of outrageous. After that, Cage gradually drifted away on the "Broadway" of the bad film, and it was out of control. It's all because of the title of "Foreseeing the Future", Cage's "Future" is really bad. Although "Bangkok Killer" is cliché as a whole, it has potential to be tapped. Unfortunately, this time the director is not good enough. The rhythm and atmosphere of the film make people drowsy and move closer to a literary film with great fanfare. This seems familiar to George Clooney's "The Americans" last year, but after all, people have played it thoroughly enough, not talking about anything else, and directing the literary fan to the end, which also makes the audience feel powerless. Then there is the remake version of "Bad Lieutenant". The plot of the old version is too violent and inconvenient to express. On the basis of deliberately weakening all elements, Cage's acting skills cannot be displayed. The original bad lieutenant, who was rude and reckless and lacking in scheming, has transformed into a bad uncle who is sluggish and wandering all day. The failure of this work must be attributed to Cage himself. The next one, "The Prophet of Disaster", has become the only work that Cage has turned over in recent years. In all fairness, there is nothing special about this film. It was only because the schedule went smoothly that it made enough money. As it turns out, that's true, because Cage didn't come out of the shadows because of the success of a film. On the contrary, not only did they fail in their careers, but they also suffered from bad luck in their economic life, and they became poor. Since then, Cage has almost always refused to come, and he has taken all the films, ignoring word of mouth, earning some money and leaving. Obviously, "Furious Speed 3D" is a model for it.
"Season of the Witch" released at the beginning of the year, its schedule has been delayed again and again, and it still cannot escape the fate of tragedy. But compared with "Furious Speed 3D", it is a work of sincerity. Walking the line of "Ghost Rider", it is heaven and hell, God and Satan, and then forcibly implanted religious elements, the whole is a painless, nondescript prototype. I was almost shocked when the Keeper of Hell, played by William Fichtner, showed up. Isn't this Detective Ma Hong who started to show his face in the second season of "Prison Break"? This earth-shattering thunderbolt was enough to stun the audience. The film's handling of the killing scene is obviously a tribute to the B-movie, including a large number of collective and personal dew points, which are unabashed and domineering. But the only thing that seems to be commendable is that it is still unsatisfactory - why not find a few beauties to show off. Don't say it's vulgar, this is actually the most basic gimmick. It is also a B-grade film "Scimitar", the dew point in it is quite artistic, and the scene of hugging and bathing with the beauties is especially interesting and enjoyable. The director is familiar with the combination of various elements of fast food movies, so he keeps the plot on the shelf, and the characters can be set up how they want, no matter how bloody he is. This is like a person without cooking skills who thinks that pouring all the ingredients into the pot will be delicious and fragrant, but he does not know how to control the timing and weight of the ingredients. In Furious Speed 3D, the motives of almost all the characters are unclear. With that sentence, the heroine said, "I wanted to leave such a mediocre life and make a fortune", and then she really wandered the world with Cage, all kinds of "wolves". Milton, the hero played by Cage, as the most central character, is inextricably linked with his daughter, and there is no paving at all, leaving people confused. Then the screenwriter himself went crazy, found an old friend who had been lost for many years, met for thousands of miles, and cobbled together a summary of the previous situation. In the end, Cage said, "You must take good care of this child...", it was really worthless, and he had achieved a pure and beautiful love. The ability of the screenwriter to flicker can reach such a level of pediatrics, which is really not flattering.
The starting point of revenge in "Frenzy Speed 3D" can also be handled more convincingly. Even if Cage is turned into a mortal, the "magic" coat is removed, and a simple and straightforward statement will not end up so embarrassing Mutually. Just like Doug Johnson's "Rapid Revenge", take the most common revenge route and tell the most simple and clear story. It's not worth the effort to build such a castle in the air, but instead it becomes a gold and jade. In fact, the most maddening thing is far more than these spit, the most important thing is the title of "Frenzy Speed". By the way, where did the plane come from? It's just those few exciting scenes that I haven't played the PC game "Need for Speed" myself, who are you trying to fool? Even if it is "furious", it is difficult to become a climate. What I saw was Cage's indifferent face, his cold words, and his blood feud, but he didn't forget to mess with flowers and make fun of him. If this is considered a "rage" state, then it won't make the "Ragers" in "28 Days Changed" laugh out loud. Congrats to Nicolas Cage, this time he played it so thoroughly that he didn't leave any room for the audience. If this trend continues, Cage will have to stay on the throne of "bad movie king, box office poison king" for a while longer.
Cage, when will your spring come again?
