This may be Jason Statham's film with the least action scenes. The movie only uses a few action scenes to embellish the whole plot, but it has become Statham's best film in recent years, although some are used to seeing Statham in Audiences who fight on the screen will be a little disappointed, but for moviegoers, this film is much better than Statham's cookie-cutter action films.

Statham has good potential in his debut with Guy Ritchie. His background as an athlete makes people pay too much attention to his muscles and ignore his talent for acting. Although he is not an actor with excellent acting skills, Statham is still among today's action stars. An actor with acting skills, but the role he has played for a long time is too single, almost all of them repeat the same role, and the audience is tired of aesthetics. A man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life with stunts but has no talent, he always punishes evil even though he is not restricted by means. Yang Shan, even if his identity is suspicious, is still considered a thief. In fact, this film did not break through such a role limitation, but at least the director of this film did not just want to let Statham beat, smash, and burn, but focus on the plot. Putting it on this character gives Statham room to perform, and such a role that he is familiar with is not a challenge at all. The only problem is how to perform new ideas.

Compared with the weakening of the action scenes, the literary and literary parts are bound to change. In most of the film, Statham has created more of the characters' tangled mentality. While competing with himself, he also had a yin and yang difference with the nun. and completed the confession of the family at the end. There is a lack of inevitable connection and emotional connection between several clues. The sense of patchwork is obvious, which makes the plot a little stiff, but the director has a good control of the film and does not destroy the overall atmosphere. Although the main line of revenge in the film is a bit far-fetched, and even seriously deviated from the main line at one point, the way the whole film tells the story closely to this character keeps the whole film from being cold. This film with a full British flavor has obvious differences with Hollywood production. The difference is that European humanistic feelings are very clearly reflected in the film. If the film is handed over to the French, perhaps this film will become a literary film, and perhaps some viewers can see a little bit of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" from this film. Shadow it.
