wrote this title, I immediately started to ask myself, where is the horror of this movie? To be honest, I really can't find a better answer. However, other people's movies clearly say that they are horror movies, so let's treat them as horror movies for the time being. Although, for more than an hour, I did not feel the slightest fear, but felt that this story was a little mentally retarded and cheap.
I admit my superficiality again, to be honest, watching this movie is purely for a handsome Hayden Christensen and a beautiful Jessica Alba. The former is the handsome, cool and dark warrior Jedi from Star Wars, and the latter is the hot pole dancer in "Sin City". I will never forget this chick's seductive eyes and sexy waist limb. The cooperation between the two people took off the shirt and the exposed dancer costume. It can be said that the two of them finally appeared in a relatively normal crowd. For the fans of these two people, it is the biggest expectation.
With beautiful and handsome guys, the index of this movie attracting most of the crowd will go up a notch. However, it is by no means a major factor in the film's success and attention. For fans of recent Hollywood horror movies, there is a trend I think everyone can see. Horror movies on the Hollywood assembly line started out with youthful beauties as a prank and murder show, then began to play perverted murderers that splashed blood all over the screen, and then began to remake those classic horror movies in Asia. Recently, Hollywood screenwriters have been busy. With the strike, this box of horror films has targeted the supernatural phenomenon as the object of terror. "Deadly Operation" is a little-known medical phenomenon called "Awakening from Anesthesia". I want to create a horror film that has youth idols without losing depth.
It is true that "Deadly Operation" did find a good material, and it is material that no one has ever shot. "Awakening from anesthesia" means that most people will enter a normal coma after receiving anesthesia before surgery, but some people are not so lucky. Awake, that is, they can feel all the pain from the surgery. From this point of view, it is undoubtedly terrifying for those who have undergone major surgery, or are preparing to undergo surgery. And this subject is definitely more worthy of attention than handsome guys and beauties.
The film unfolds the story with interludes, and then gradually discovers the truth through the perspective of Clay, a wealthy boy played by Hayden Christensen. Do we have some familiarity with this approach? First, when Clay discovered that he was not anesthetized, he drifted among his relatives in a state of soul between life and death, seeking help, and in this state he discovered the truth. This setting reminds me of a movie "The Invisible Man" that I saw before, not to mention that "Awakening from Anesthesia" is compared with the supernatural phenomena produced in "The Invisible Man", it is simply pediatric. That is to say, the two films deal with the same state, and there is an obvious difference. All I can say is that if I hadn't seen The Invisible Man, I would still be fresh with Klay's invisibility and how the film is handled and presented, unfortunately when I compared it to The Invisible Man The clumsiness and mental retardation of the manifestation of the phenomenon can be seen at a glance. The whole thing is filled with the utterly contrived howls of Hayden Christensen and the monologues of what appears to be an adolescent drake. Although, I tried hard to make myself feel that he was suffering from the huge pain of the operation, but I just couldn't worry about it. Although I tried hard to sympathize with the protagonist's experience, but because of the loopholes in the plot arrangement, I couldn't seriously interact with the characters. resonance.
If it is said that although Clay's soul invisibility is not handled well, I can still accept it a little, then Jessica Alba's sweetheart, Clay's wife Sam, this character is completely terrifying and strange without any foreshadowing. The change left me speechless. I don't know if this chick is so sweet that she forgot how to play a ruthless character, just staring at a pair of winking eyes to attract the audience, or the director did not give hope to the actors to show it through performances A character with huge contrasts and ruthless character, but through those completely unjustifiable plots in the film, to explain the final completely unconvincing truth. Whenever the film starts to flash back and starts to justify itself, I think to myself, God, God, am I too mentally retarded to see it, or is the director completely playing the audience like a monkey? How can such a plot explain the truth so easily? Of course, I don't want to say too many specific details here. If you are still interested in watching this movie, then you should find your own judgment from it.
In this way, what a good subject was destroyed by the director of this film. Yes, "Deadly Operation" is not ugly, and it does not lose a certain amount of entertainment. At least a movie like a boring afternoon can still pass the time, even if it is a pleasure to see beautiful and handsome guys , and the stereotypical plot, symbolic characters, and the completely mentally retarded plot itself probably won't hurt your brain cells too much.
Well, apart from the two handsome guys and beauties, the film is really a waste of the acting skills of all the good actors. Many people lamented that it was a waste of the acting talents of the two actors, Lena Olin and Terrence Howard. Well, when the acting skills of handsome guys and beauties are really unbearable, at least Christopher MacDonald supports the scene. For the display on the operating table, a place that is the most critical horror in itself, it seems to be shoddy. But the story itself is not completely useless. In the end, the mother's sacrifice to save her son's life makes people feel moved and moved.
