Aside from the Chinese translation of this "one sentence spoiler to the end", "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" is still a good way to wash off Costner's own malaise in recent years, such as "Three Days Assassination" and not jumping up. Jack Lane's "On the Moment". In addition to the influential image of stepfather in DCEU, Costner's film works have long been completely forgotten by most audiences. Of course, this is not all his fault: after the two heavy duds of "Future Water World" and "The Postman" in the mid-to-late 1990s, the veteran movie star has not been devastated, but it is difficult to pick it up again. It's a movie that suits him better. From "Rogue Robin Hood", "Assassination of Kennedy", "The Spy of the Navy" to "Letter in a Bottle", "Thirteen Days", "Key Voting", "McFarlane", "Draft Day" and "Mr. Brooks" (Yes, I like " "Mr. Brooks"), we can clearly see the difference between Costner's active or passive choice of film themes at two different stages, even from one extreme to the other.
Compared with these works, "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" is the kind of Costner movie that you will never remember, but this exaggerated and occasionally interesting memory exchange movie still has reasons to watch for some people. . Exotic London setting, and luxury starring list of Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, Gail Gadot and Ryan Reynolds (DC former and current main players). It is worth mentioning that Ryan Reynolds, who has the boundless popularity of "Deadpool", has very few scenes in this film. If you are a fan, it is better not to report any expectations. And the more interesting point is that Ryan Reynolds co-starred with Ben Kingsley about a year ago in another sci-fi movie "Phantom" that has been remembered by others. Ironically, Reynolds is here. The characters in this movie are completely reversed from those in "Ultra Brain 48 Hours"-and the public ratings are as low as "Ultra Brain 48 Hours".
The story structure of "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" is roughly the B-level masterpiece that was born in the heyday of the high-tech, domineering and ridiculous action movie in the 1980s and 1990s. This movie has some good action scenes, but the plot is quite weird and intricate. Considering the acting strength of the actors and actresses involved, this is a difficult thing to forgive.
When a good actor encounters a wrong script, he will leave some ridiculous impressions. "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" successfully put a double-memory cart old man in the middle-aged version of "The Bourne", using absurd plots and ridiculous dialogues to make these golden actors go all the way, especially It's Gary Oldman (counting last year's "Child 44", the uncle really needs to have a good talk with the agent).
excellent materials from all corners of the world, the person who cooks miscellaneous and famous dishes is Ariel Fromman, who is not very experienced. The "Iceman" filmed in 2012 and released in May of the following year is a crime film with a lot of ideas but a lot of problems in execution. The rhythm of the film is slow and monotonous. Shannon (the third character from DCEU in this article) takes the lead, making the dullness contaminated with a trace of fate and despair. However, the same style is not suitable for "Ultra Brain 48 Hours". We see that the genes of action movies are trying their best to reverse this temperament, but in the end it still looks tedious, lazy and boring.
It is worth mentioning that although the directors’ recent two films have similar score distributions in word-of-mouth, in 2012, "Iceman" invested 10 million, and the final box office was less than 20 million; in 2016, "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" The cost of production has risen to more than 30 million U.S. dollars, but North America only received 10 million in the first week. It is still a question mark whether the digital balance can be achieved on a global scale.
But more than 90% is a full stop.
As one of the countless small and medium cost cannon fodder films released by Millennium Pictures and Lionsgate during the year, the lacklustre publicity seems to imply that even Lionsgate did not report much expectations. On the other side of the ocean, two consecutive Ryan Reynolds routine films (in this film even only soy sauce) were introduced in two days, but they have been promoted with great fanfare under the banner of "Deadpool", which cannot be introduced. It is really impressive. Speechless.
Compared with the retro style of "Iceman", the dullness of "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" can almost be classified as a fossil style. The last film work of the two screenwriters Douglas Cook and David Weisberg was "Fatal Pursuit" in 1999, and further on, it was the copy of "Breakthrough Island". Therefore, as it should be, "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" is almost the resurgence of action movies that became more and more outrageous in the 1990s. More than 20 years have passed, except that the core concept has changed from "changing faces" to "changing memories." Grow. The plot is still full of loopholes, and the action scene is still difficult to cheer up. Even though the movie disdains thinking about the philosophical question of "memory = people?", it still leaves a big hole on the moral level: the
protagonist is a violent criminal, and he is vicious and vicious. Is it possible that the work of an agent can simply be washed away? Did you let those poor escort policemen die in vain?
This kind of deliberate ambiguity and disregard of moral issues is exactly what disdains discussion in current action movies, and even reverses black and white. "Captain America 3", which will be released a week later, also faces the same problem: Is it possible that if a celebrity guarantees the crime of the former offender, the facts of the crime can be wiped out? Can he not be held accountable for what he did?
Obviously not. But spoiled fans do not care. They just want to see Ji He Shuang.
Of course, apart from these unsolvable dead ends, the actors still have nothing wrong with their performances. Ryan Reynolds almost brushed his face and left the stage. Apart from proving that he can play a serious role, he played little role in the whole story. For Chinese audiences, the equally boring "Phantom", which was released a day earlier than the film, can almost be used as a prequel or sequel. The role played by Gary Oldman reveals the uneasiness that has been rare recently, but it is too monotonous. Also embarrassed in positioning is Tommy Lee Jones. It can be seen that Gary Oldman is not the only one who is at a loss in this circus. Comrades Wonder Woman, who had 3 movies released within two months, are conquering the city, using their acting skills to clear all doubts about Gal Gadot-although not comparable to Louis Lane, who has repeatedly fought and defeated on the Oscar battlefield. , But in "Ultra Brain 48 Hours", she still brings some good emotional depth to the character.
As an Oscar nominee for best actor, Kevin Costner's performance can be said to be as serious and serious as ever, extremely good at interpreting the inner changes of the character through his eyes and facial expressions. His role in the movie changed from the manic and irritable at the beginning of the movie to a calm inside. Costner well balanced and adjusted the emotional state of his role. Compared with the bookish serial murderer in "Mr. Brooks", it has a higher credibility.
so-called spring files are too bad, "Super Brain 48 Hours" catches up to the tail of the spring files, of course, it is not exempt. The plot of the movie is very far-fetched, especially Happy Ending. Compared with films such as "London Has Fallen" and "Nine-Nine" that were released a few months ago, "Ultra Brain 48 Hours" is even more boring and backward, with only a few action scenes that can remind people of its spirit.
This is a film suitable for those middle-aged men who are bored browsing on the disc and on-demand markets to pass the good time in the afternoon. It is neither sophisticated enough to become a drunk talker, nor does it make people get up and leave immediately. You and I have seen a lot of these kinds of movies. As for whether you want to buy tickets to get the magnet-
can't the TV at home receive the Central VI?
