Tough guy movies that can't get adrenaline

This is a tough guy movie undoubtedly. The protagonist played by Jason Statham is muscular, but muscularity is not the essence of a tough guy movie. It is hard life. The protagonist is the immortal Xiaoqiang. The audience knew from the very beginning that Hollywood was reluctant to die their heroes, especially the series of movies. But what is ridiculous is that they continue to arrange "countdown" and "fake death" bridges. I have no expression on my face where I should go with the performance.

The above complaints are given to most Hollywood blockbusters. But "Mechanic 2" is even more exaggerated in that only the protagonist alone fights and kills the villain, from the sky to the sea, how fierce the action is? All know that you will not die. Anyway, I don’t look irritating, so I’m more anxious: I can’t give the protagonist an accomplice or brother, a good person who can both fight and kill? No, no one, the protagonist is alone, as if popping out of a rock. So that the villain wants to coerce him and has to... After this, the protagonist still has to complain.

The protagonist will recognize it alone, and there are many wonderful movies like this. But somehow make him change a little bit? Does he have major emotional ups and downs? No, he has always been confident; has his belief been challenged? Didn't see what his beliefs were; did he fall into a dilemma? No, he has been in the excitement of the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, and the god blocking and killing the god...He has not changed, he is perfect, and does not need to grow.

Let's talk about the love scenes in this movie, it is really "love does not know where it starts, but love is deep". The heroine Jessica's acting skills are bad, and the plot is terrible. The hero and heroine met on the island of Vietnam. At the beginning, Jessica confessed: I was threatened by the villain and sent to seduce you. When you fall in love with me, they will take me away and threaten you with me— —Is it a weird setting? This actually explains why the male protagonist is so solitary. As long as there is a close person by his side, the villain can't commit such a great deal of beautification.

Then it’s weird, Jason Statham really fell in love with Jessica, Jessica was really taken away, and Jason Statham was really threatened-tell the truth, go further Looking later, the less I believed in my eyes, I kept waiting for the heroine to turn around and give the affectionate tough guy a heavy blow: Shabi, you think the old lady is so rare for you. The excited Jason Statham was thrown cold water and heartbroken; or he laughed, and then another reversal: Lao Tzu's eyes are piercing, and he has already seen through-but not at all, people are true love!

As for the villain, IQ is worrisome (can think of a wonderful way to threaten and then threaten), logic is chaotic (there are countless brothers, need to threaten the male protagonist to help him kill, knowing that the male protagonist is so powerful, are you afraid that he will kill him back?), except for this Two points, the other aspects are very vaguely shaped, and the past entanglement with the male protagonist passes through the lines, without feeling.

But there are only these three characters in this movie. Michelle Yeoh can exit after completing a "save the cat" function. The other old man looks very mysterious. He didn't do anything about the ass, but it was dispensable, and it would be all right to kill it directly. Proper. It's really a trouble-free movie. It can be directly moved to the stage and can be used as a drama. The action scenes can be subtitled, or Jason Statham can put a small cardboard on his head to explain: I won another game. Then Qiangdongqiangdongqiangdong made a circle around the field. Hahaha It's a pity that he doesn't have hair.

Of course, I can't help but exaggerate when I ridicule. In fact, this movie has a lot of merits: the heroine is beautiful, the scene is beautiful, and the design of the pool assassination is very novel. In addition, the straight man who went with him felt that what the action scene was watching was the process, and knew that the result would not affect the viewing experience, so he was full of interest in watching it.
