Colin Farrell, as soon as I saw this name, I thought of "Killer No Holidays", although the actor is for the film service, but seeing his name makes me more or less impatient.
The plot of the story goes without saying, but the personality of the film is still conveyed. As the story unfolds, that mouthful of British English is comforting. From the beginning, I knew it was a typical British gangster film. The genre film can be copied, but it depends on how you do it better.
The editing of the film is very sharp, and the promotion of the storyline is a little overdone, but it is enough for everyone to understand.
The film is dark: British slang, foul-mouthed, violent gore, and dark humor.
There are many characters in the film, there are 2 lines, one is the love between the protagonist and the star, and the other is his melee for the homeless remuneration and the underworld contamination.
I like this kind of film very much, except for the classic Hollywood model, I want to things, but there is no shortage of commercial things.
The ending of the story can basically be imagined, but some small details, I think the director's handling is very interesting, just like a sentence in the movie, "good people don't necessarily have good rewards". For example, the Indian doctor, who is kind and good, is still in the end. . . . Another example is the hero's love for his sister. He thought that her sister could escape the disaster, but she could still be killed by a hammer.
The film is in the British style, and there are many artistic treatments. The shots are very beautiful. For example, the male protagonist is contemplating smoking in the female protagonist's garden. There are many places for people to think about, so you may not be able to tell that this is a gangster type film. It's still a romance film, and that's actually what makes this film so successful, the director uses the lens to point out something, but there's no need to give up the business. The so-called commercial film must have a spiritual core.
The music in the movie is nice, but it's overused at the beginning.
What attracted me the most was his sense of humour
1 The killer, I originally thought that the hero was going to have a big fight with him, or give him a clean shot in the PUB, but I didn't expect that if the guy drank too much, he would simply trick him into the car, and he was He happily got into the car, and the most unexpected thing was that he strangled him to death even when he agreed to kill the boss. I thought there would be other stories, and it gave me a big contrast, and it was this contrast that created a sense of humor that subverts traditional movies.
2 That dog Zai Zai did not take a picture from the beginning to the end. I don’t know what the director was going to say, but there was an inexplicable sense of joy.
3 That crazy producer, every time he appeared, he was smoking marijuana. , the most ruthless is him. At the end of the film, the gun rang first, and he committed suicide for him, but it rang twice. It was interesting, leaving a small suspense, whether he committed suicide or came with him. The police did it. . . .
4 When the male protagonist killed the boss, a beautiful woman opened the door, and she was very quiet, and she was knocked unconscious with a punch.
5 Before killing the underworld boss, tell him not to open the box. . . . It 's a bit subversive of the film's conventions
. I don't know why people give the film a low score, but I really like this film. Is it because I watched it late at night, I feel it. . .
PS The photo of the protagonist and the star, I like it very much.
