Inversion, the drama of the film

The so-called movie drama, plot reversal is one of the commonly used means. Impossible becomes possible, hate becomes love, impossible task accomplished. How to do it well and do it well is a test of the screenwriter and director.

The agent is killed, copying brain waves into the head of a violent villain in order to obtain information from his memory. The villain becomes emotional, has love, completes the mission, eliminates the bad guy, and replaces the agent with the agent's beauties and children. The villain has no love, to sacrifice her life to save people, beautiful women to reject the villain, to accepting him as a member of the family, this mental journey lays the groundwork for layers, and it is not easy to choose the right camera and bridge.

Fighting films, there are types of hanging Weiya, rolling in the air, and subtle tricks. Most of Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Korean films belong to this category, freehand style, good-looking, too fake, dance is average, often Dozens of punches can't kill a person. Another style is a tough guy film based on Europe and the United States, which is not so fancy, actual combat type, punches to the flesh, blood splashes, basically no kicks in the air, mainly punches the head, tends to be realistic, and solves problems with a few punches. The fighting in this film is a European and American style tough guy film. It's crisp, and it's a good viewing experience. It feels very violent, but it doesn't have the common type of blood-splashing and scaring people with broken limbs. This method should be easy to pass the trial.

Several escapes are well designed. The villain sits in the police car and plans to escape. I can't help but wonder, if it were me, how would I escape? This kind of little trick is very interesting, it is wisdom, and it can add points to the film. The protagonist eats a gun, gets kicked by an explosion, and is flooded by a car.

If a stranger can tell some of your secret past, will you fall in love with him? I will not. It's far-fetched that the beauty falls in love with the villain. The flaws do not hide the good, and the reversal of the plot has made enough emotional foreshadowing, and it is not so abrupt.

The story is a bit old-fashioned, justice will eventually kill the villain is a must, and the plot setting is not very tense and suspenseful. The actors' performances are really in place, their eyes can talk, they are all old drama bones, and they support the effect of the whole film. Four stars.

    Unexpectedly, Costner has also reached the age to grow a beard and play an old hero. I hope that it is the patent of Sean Connery, or Denzel Washington in recent years. To be honest, the plot of this drama is really flawed, but when I watched it in the cinema, those classic sections such as "Stone Breaking", "Change Face", and "Rage Rescue" continue to emerge in front of my eyes, plus Gail. Gadot, still saved a lot of points.
