If you check the credits of "Perfect Escape" writer and director David Twohy, you may not be so curious. From "Future Water World" to "Interstellar Legends 2", only "Desperados" can be regarded as a masterpiece relying on the memory of a generation of blockbusters, and he is only involved in the screenwriting. If you know this information before you watch the movie, your expectations may be lowered or even given up. It's a pity that the story introduction of "Perfect Escape" is too tempting. A suspenseful thriller story that takes place on an isolated island, and the biochemical queen Milla Jovovich plays the leading role, naturally attracts many fans.
Attentive viewers will find that "Perfect Escape" has "revealed its footing" from the wedding video at the beginning, and the whole film is full of a lot of convoluted and constantly repeated plot settings. The audience does have the curiosity to know the truth, but the thrilling atmosphere that the story needs is gone. There are only a few actors who travel less and less to explore in the jungle. The audience only needs to guess whether the murderer is a bad-tempered tattooed man or a man. A muscular man with an abnormal smile on his face, and this is not as exciting as the American drama "Survivor". The moment of truth revealed smoothly became the climax of the whole film, because the audience not only got the long-awaited answer, but also unexpected and even inexplicable. This "unexpected ending" seems too unreal due to the lack of foreshadowing. The audience keeps recalling the previous plot but can't find any logic. At the same time, the movie uses a large flash back to "supplement details" to "justify" the origin of this unexpected ending. , and when the flashback is over, that is, when the screenwriter feels that he can justify it, the movie staged the expected killing scene. However, this murder scene is bloody, violent and rhythmic, but it still doesn't feel scary at all. The director seems to have exhausted all the photography skills that he can use while shooting the MV, and the whole torture scene has become the director's dazzling skills. In addition to this, there is only the "battle performance" of the biochemical queen that we are familiar with. The story of "abandoning darkness to light" that happened on the helicopter at the end of the story is also completely confusing.
In fact, "Perfect Escape" has a good story idea, and it has the possibility of becoming a good suspense film. Unfortunately, it was finally defeated by David Twohy, making it finally reduced to a Hawaiian suspense scenery with a far-fetched ending. piece.
