"Extreme Agent 3": spoiled cold rice, no matter how much you heat it, it won't help

Text / Omiear The shoddy production of special effects has greatly indulged the growth of fast-moving consumer goods. If commercial theaters want to make money, they undoubtedly rely on the unit price of 3D movies. Whether it is popcorn or family fun, they are all targeted for best-selling cakes. What is disgusting is that in recent years, the commercial activities of fried rice and dog tail continue to increase day by day. As an already stereotyped existence, few people use big IP to transform it, while small IP has become a new weapon for making money. It is not only to heat up the single-line films forcibly adding series of works, but even to rework the works that should have been completed a few years ago, decades ago, and then convert them into a format and put them on the screen.

The movies "Jack Reacher" and "The Mechanic" are typical examples. From the point of view of the sequel, there is no logical convincing, and the plot is even more terrible, like a piece of action popcorn. It is a skill to follow the trend well, and it is the philosophy of market operation to speculate if you can. "Extreme Agent", which has been "violating" for more than ten years, was re-hyped by Paramount, not only forcing Vin Diesel, but also playing the Chinese card. Sun 2" and "Now You See Me 2" had to shy away from it.

It's impossible to talk about what makes the film stand out. There is zero storytelling, unsatisfactory completion, the script directly applies the style of online movies, and there are a large number of shots that have been keyed in later stages, resulting in too much confusion in the action scenes. As for the team action advertised in the film, it is actually Diesel's solo show, and the other actors are all reduced to foils. Donnie Yen and Wu Yifan, who were forced to be planted, were not spared. The former simply and rudely played with two chants. Spring is enough, and the latter also promotes the traditional Chinese folk square dance culture by playing discs.

The script set by multiple people is not easy to control. For a B-level action film, it is not really successful without a gang fight plot. Obviously, "Extreme Agent 3" does not practice this truth. The film has an endless number of characters, but none of them will impress the audience. To put it bluntly, the director Caluso does not have the ability to shape and control the characters at all. Seam series, as well as the control of the fast pace of the film. It has to be said that just seeking stimulation will not satisfy the audience, the substitution is poor, there is nothing new, and no matter how you cook it, it will not help.

The production and shooting of the film is as if there is no parental control, and the villain does not have the appearance and ability of the villain. The character relationship model of "Three Kingdoms" can also be put together. The reversal at the end is even more expected. Losing the basic logic, and the result of the story being unintelligible, it was not Diesel who played in circles. All in all, aesthetic fatigue has made mindless action films like "Extreme Agent 3" no longer in the audience. It is largely comparable to the existence of weekend variety shows. It does not need to be peeled off layer by layer, and the special effects and the countless It is so entertaining that it can't even survive in the theater, not third-rate or second-rate.
