Of course, this evaluation is not suitable for the director of "Nine-Nine". John Hillcourt is a low-volume director. He will dedicate a work in an average of three years, and he definitely won't be the kind of hotshot that is popular in the market. The 2009 "Doomsday" is the first American film he made, adapted from the 2006 novel of the same name by the famous American writer Comac McCarthy-allegedly affecting the wasteland game "Fallout 3" released two years later —— "Doomsday" has a heavy and dark realism style, as well as a calm and emotional shot and soundtrack, which is very popular among critics. Interestingly, in that decade, we have seen many similar post-apocalyptic movies: Alfonso Cuarón's "Son of Man" in 2006, and Will Smith's "I Am Legend" in 2007. , The Book of Eli by Denzel Washington, 2010. "Doomsday Dangerous Way" may not be the best, but it is the lowest-key and the most attractive one. Lawlessness, launched in 2012, used the old wet Tom Hardy and model worker Jessica Chastain who had just made their name in the past, and Sam Witwich, who had not completely collapsed, to make a film that was not so. The manic "Legend of Autumn". Coincidentally, the next year he came across "Gangster Legend" with a similar theme and age. He is really a veteran and veteran crash driver.
The body of "Nine Nine Nine" also has the shadow of many predecessors and little brothers. We can see the classic police film "Dirty Harry", "French Drug Network" and even the spiritual remains of Sidney Lumet, as well as Michael Mann's "The Thief" and the ashes of "The Line of Fire". "The style and benchmarks brought by ", we can see the shadows of compatriots who are near or far from "The Thief in the City", "The Infinite Walker", "The Insider", "Brooklyn Police", and "End of Alert". The sharp images and hand-held photography show extraordinary imagination in the hands of directors and photographers, and celebrities of different levels can also be perfectly integrated, without any sense of disengagement.
From the point of view of production and performance alone, this is not a bad movie, and the movie itself has enough potential to get better.
As a serious and realistic police and criminal film, "Nine-Nine" is not disgusting, but it is difficult for people to like it.
After all, the cauldron is the screenwriter.
First of all, it is worth mentioning and mentioning that the performance of all the main actors in this film is quite wonderful. For most viewers with a little common sense, seeing this long list of names already has a reason to at least look at it: Cassie Affleck, Chevat Egarford, Anthony McKay, Woody Harrison, Kate Winslet, Gail Gadot, Aaron Paul, Norman Redus, each of them is a master who can be separated into a single piece. In this star-studded list, Kate Winslet’s Russian mother has shown considerable acting talent, but as for whether she is the most suitable actor for this role, I believe the audience will judge it; Woody Harry Sen maintains the same role positioning as before. Regardless of his image, almost all characters are clumsy emotional expressions, decisive, cynical and humorous; the brothers of Aaron Paul and Norman Radus are very good. The performance of the movie, especially the latter who takes away all the focus of the picture by relying on the face; the two black starring actors, Chevat Egarford and Anthony McKay, are very big compared to the basic stereotypes in the previous movies. The breakthrough, especially the latter who experienced the horrible "Christmas Eve"; As for the Wonder Woman Gal Gadot, who is about to transform into a feminist ICON, I still care about the seriously underestimated Clifton Kr. Lins.
However, the dazzling All-Star lineup did not make the film's temperament more exaggerated. On the contrary, the above-mentioned kings are perfectly embedded in the dirty and sinister Atlanta like a puzzle. The director has an excellent sense of balance. Your performance is appropriate and full of strong dramatic tension. This is quite rare among current directors, especially those with low output.
You recognize them, but you don't recognize them. The extremely pleasant sense of substitution is exactly what this movie needs and shows.
"Nine-Nine" creates a story full of hostility and rampant crime. Under the reinforced concrete, it is very pessimistic and solemn, and most importantly, it is very real. In recent years, David Finch's queenly soundtrack, Atigos Rose, has created a pulsating sense of the music for this film, conveying a kind of perseverance willpower in the endless darkness.
In short, performance, soundtrack, and photography are the perfect plus points of "Nine Nine", each of which is excellent in performance, but at the same time only serves the whole, never overwhelming the guests, and together maintains a huge and serious realism atmosphere.
But the fatal injury of this movie lies in the script. As the first feature film script completed by screenwriter Matt Cook, the story of "Nine Nine Nine" has made a lot of effort, but it is surprisingly lacking in motivation. Sidney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You" is an imitation of the loose coreless multi-line narrative. The film itself does not have a good narrative logic, especially after the role of Kate Winslet appeared and began to actively participate in the development of the plot. Many plots seem to exist just to add a touch of black, and then disappear on their own. There is no effective way to promote the relationship between the characters, and there is no willingness to advance the development of the story. Although the various characters performed brilliantly, there was no development in the whole story, what it looked like at the beginning, and what it looked like at the end, as if the whole incident was nothing but a huge accident.
This is a bit similar to Michael Mann's unsatisfactory movies-such as "Miami Storm" and "Clash of the Hackers."
A few years ago, Nicholas Cage, who was still a bit pursuing, once remade the same theme of "Bad Lieutenant", which is almost a positive example of this theme. Because it is a remake, the logic and story development have rules to follow. But when the plot lacks a strong push (especially in police movies), it will quickly become annoying. "Nine-Nine" is an example of this. A large number of details didn't really come in handy in the end, which is confusing, not only for the audience under the screen, but also for the characters on the screen.
"Nine Nine Nine" is very primitive under the control of a novice screenwriter, but it is quite interesting. To make an unsuitable analogy, it is like the non-comedy hardcore "Eleven Arhats." Also, it took a few years to have a new work. Some people can make mythological blockbusters into vulgarity, and some people can use skilled skills and temperament to try to pass a script whose qualifications are far from mediocre. on-line.
Let's study the gaps and mysteries slowly with you.
