Seems like I haven't missed too much...

1. The first fight in the secret room was about 20 minutes. It turned out that wearing a suit and tie was the rhythm of being restrained. It turned out that there was a precedent for killing the warden of Wolf 2. 2333...

2. This film is sponsored by The business is too generous... The express sponsors can be considered rich rewards, but the obvious blue-yellow two-color express clothes express car broke the overall style of painting and slowed down the overall rhythm.

3. I really like Chen Hu's action style. The beauty of Tai Chi's strength is very good, and I can feel the power. The more difficult thing to do should be the combination of traditional moves and fashion fighting. There is a little difference in the style of painting, but it is acceptable.

4. The main idea I see is that people with power should seek conditioning and control themselves, and not get lost in violence. It is quite thoughtful, and it can be considered to be combined with the purpose of Tai Chi, but its expression is not as contagious as some classic action films.

5. The style of the picture is scattered, and the feeling is related to the color tone. Chen Linhu's daily life is the true color, and the blue-yellow contrasting impact of express delivery is more scattered; Keanu Reeves's big boss environment is dark and dark, and the environment of the secret room fight is gray with a sense of technology, which is self-consistent; Master and his Taoist temples are traditional and ancient, with Zen (Taoist temples with Zen … well, leave it alone, at least the two themselves seem to be in harmony in the movie); courier and female The line of the friend's company is a modern urban office style; and these are not divided by time, but are intertwined and cut together, leaving no impression on the artistic style at all. In addition, the framing of some scenes is indescribable. The most uncomfortable is the night arena in the middle. The scene has no sense of class, and the light is so cool and dazzling.

6. Chen Hu's characterization, he often does not need to find any special status in this film, but this arrangement is also less appealing. Of course, he is still very clear about the difference between good and evil, restraint and violence.

7. The plot has to be said. I need to pack a part of my common sense and IQ and throw it out in order to enter the plot and feel the atmosphere. This may be the difference between a normal action film and a masterpiece.


It's too late to see it today. . . Personally, I feel that the action is good, and the overall level of the action movie is average, and it has its own style, and the meaning and strength of Neijiaquan are in it. The theme is also good. In other respects, the visibility is not very strong. Maybe the picture is not beautiful enough to impress me enough.
