"Bangkok Killer": Is Brother Cage short of money?

First of all, let me check myself. Before I watched this film, I didn't know it was the work of the Peng brothers. When I saw Yang Cai Ni came out, I exclaimed: "Yang Cai Ni has also entered Hollywood." I found out after watching it. In fact, Brother Cage came to Asia to work.

This film, which is only over 90 minutes long, made me feel so long. If there is still a little tension at the beginning of the film, then after the Thai boy appears, the film will be completely reduced to a hodgepodge of clichés. Therefore, we can guess that this young man will not be killed by the killer played by Brother Cage, and even developed a deep relationship with him, and the appearance of the beautiful girl Yang Cai Ni is of course to have some feelings with this cold-blooded killer Disputes, and as we expected, the killer will try his best to conceal his identity in front of his beloved woman, but after being exposed by an accident, the jade girl misunderstood him, and the relationship between the two must be necessary. Part of the killer's blood to save - the only thing I didn't expect was that the killer would finally choose to commit suicide. The principles that Brother Cage talked about at the beginning of the film were broken one by one for himself in the film, and used this to tell everyone that breaking the rules is a terrible thing, and it may even cost him his own life.

Therefore, after the plot has been developing as expected, admiring Nicolas Cage's performance seems to be the biggest motivation for watching this film. However, Brother Cage's performance is undoubtedly disappointing. The bitter face is stretched from the beginning to the end of the film. It seems that this can reflect the coldness of the killer, but in fact it makes this film quite dull. The film becomes more dull. Nicolas Cage, who was born in literary and artistic films, although he has been fighting in A-level action blockbusters after the transformation, his performance is still remarkable, and in recent years, the new films have not given the audience "Lian Po is old. ”, but what we saw in “Bangkok Killer” is a middle-aged man who is not too dexterous to fight with others, and what we see from the episode of being discovered by the police is not a top killer at all. 's skill. Nicolas Cage is like an out-of-date Hollywood star tossing for milk powder money, but the problem is, Cage is not out of breath. In contrast, the most pleasing to the eye among the actors is Yang Caini.

The joining of this Hollywood superstar did not make the film more valuable. The Peng brothers' control of the entire film seemed to be shrinking. Although the film still has merit in editing, the biggest highlight of the film is just these. With a dull plot and puppet-like performances, the Peng brothers are repeating the Hong Kong movies before the 1990s. The difference is that the protagonist and the location have been changed. However, at this time, the clichés of old Hong Kong films are still being repeated. The result is that this film is more B-grade than Hollywood's B-grade films, and the most exciting river chase in the film is also bland. If the Pang brothers were looking for a way to pay homage to an old Hong Kong film, the "Bangkok Killer" would be one of the worst ideas. The Peng brothers' burst of genius in "C+ Detective" does not feel at all in this film.

So, my first feeling after watching this film is, is Brother Cage short of money? Even videos like this.
