I don’t have much interest in gunfights, but I still rely on British jokes to the end

Just coming back from the theater, my mood is slightly complicated. According to personal preference, I would not easily choose such a small-cost pure gunfight film to watch the big screen. But today’s sneak preview (the movie is a new movie that has not been officially released in Germany, I don’t know which movie it is before I watch it) wrote PG18+, which greatly deepened my curiosity-I thought it would be a horror movie. I wanted to score two stars, but I have to admit that the screenwriters and directors are very stylized in their silly jokes. In addition, the continuous swear words and the occasional brain-crushing scenes reveal a strong B. The grade film has a bad taste, so one more star is given to show fairness.

To be honest, from the moment the opening music sounded, I had a bad premonition: usually this sonorous 70s disco soundtrack is either a road movie or an American straight male cancer. With this prejudice, I was sitting on pins and needles for the first half an hour, trying to endure the low-level scolding between the characters and their hot-eyed nostalgic clothes. Not to mention that after the start of the gun battle, the deafening gunfire and tightly edited footage made people dizzy, and it didn’t feel very good. Some people kept getting up and leaving the field in the middle, and the people next to them joked to the audience in their positions, "It’s not that way. That's bad!"

But after all, I still gave three stars (in fact, if I can, I would like to give two and a half stars), there are still advantages. I have to say that the soundtrack is good. The rock music of the earth and the country folk songs of John Denver appear alternately, looking for opportunities to promote the plot and atmosphere, which is quite the essence of violent aesthetics. Although the final reversal is not wonderful, it is also a small highlight. At least the only blonde in this film is not reduced to a black comedy sauce. Disadvantages. I personally feel that it’s really not very clever to drag on for an hour and a half by cursing, which reduces the black sense of humor that may be produced by the original "interlocking, wrong step and wrong step". In fact, if you shorten the time by half and reduce one or two characters (anyway, everyone is on the ground and the camera is cut so densely, it is often difficult to tell who is who is behind), it will be a good low-cost black comedy. .
