"Red Alert 999" is a movie that contains almost all the elements of crime films, bloody gunfights, drag racing chases, and the intrigues of the police and bandits, and Cassie Affleck and Kate Winslet , Norman Ridus, and so on. The all-star lineup is even more shining, but from the perspective of the film, the film obviously does not have a good blueprint to lay the foundation, making the supposedly bloody battle of good and evil, which has become a little lengthy. .
As the director John Hillcott who once presented the tragedy of the end times with the very realistic style of "Doomsday", he applied this serious and realistic style again to "Red Alert 999". The mafia crimes are rampant and right. The gloom of money trading, a gloom with fatalistic sentiment, made the film actually have a good atmosphere to create at the beginning, and in the subsequent development, the shaping of many scenes is actually well controlled, even giving The fierceness of a masterpiece, John Hillcott's directing made the movie at least in terms of perception and smoothness.
For the All-Star lineup, it is actually a double-edged sword. Many blockbuster films just reduce actors to gimmicks without giving the characters commensurate with the abilities of the star actors, but John Hillcott The movie has a good balance at this point. For example, Kate Winslet cast aside the elegant image of the past and interprets a gang boss into the woods. It is totally difficult to recognize that she is the same as Jack in "Titanic". The celebrities who play the beautiful love can still find the performance of the characters in many famous roles, and make some actors complete the subversion of the past image, without a trace of waste. It can be said that this is a rare feature of this all-star lineup.
The biggest problem facing the movie is not the mediocrity of directing ability, but that the story itself has many logical criticisms. What is even more lacking here is an effective plot drive. The whole movie is in Created by the good atmosphere of the scene, it gives people a fault of separation of form and soul. Many loose clues finally become useless, making the film not only fail to form an effective ignition point from beginning to end, but also become more verbose. Turning over the resume of the screenwriter Matt Cook, this is an almost unknown novice, which may also explain why the plot of the movie is so jerky.
Undoubtedly, this is a work that is quite relevant in photography, soundtrack, and actors, but the most important plot is inherently inadequate, and there is no embarrassment of burning, making the title of "Red Alert 999" run counter to the finished film.
