"Cold Light in the Day": The title is the biggest highlight

is surprised that Bruce Willis can appear in the film for more than 20 minutes. It seems that the level of soy sauce is already familiar. It was originally a harmonious and warm family reunion, but it was extremely gloomy. It took a long time to understand that the only value of his participation is to reawaken the audience's aftertaste of the "Die Hard Die Hard" series. Anyway, he can also do pre-publicity for "Die Hard 5". This investment is solid. Outrageous. Hollywood spy films are declining year by year, and Matt Damon is a sensible person. Although the trilogy is very popular, he resolutely chose not to take over "The Bournemouth 4". The changing trend of audience tastes directly affects the benefits of the film industry. "Mission Impossible 4" can only be regarded as Tom's personal miracle, it is difficult to imitate and impossible to surpass. The only thing left is the 007 series. If the originator level breaks down, the end of the classic spy movie mode will not be far away. For this reason, putting everything aside, just looking at the configuration of "Cold Light of the Day", you know that this is just a small-cost test of the water, whether you can make gold and pure luck.

Bruce Willis’s needle threading has produced such a pediatric version of Die Hard. The plot is very clear, after more than 90 minutes, it seems a bit confusing. Especially in the first half of the "fog", the characters are not logical when they appear on stage, and they just force the audience to see what they want. English is mixed with Spanish. It seems that the language knows no borders, and anyone can understand it anyway. A group of Israeli agents, but two American agents, actually bet the treasure on an ordinary citizen who asked three questions. Is this mocking the incompetence of the Israeli spy work, or highlighting the protagonist's "ownership of the gods"? I wonder, isn't it the story of a man who broke out in a small universe to save the whole family, in which the focus of the dispute between the two sides, the "brief box", is purely a vase. Isn't it a "die hard" to walk straight on. You know, "Die Hard 1" is based on a tendon to the end to produce a powerful pleasure. Why bother to go around and stage a fair car chase scene. Of course, the title is quite fascinating, which is the biggest highlight.

Movies are still entertainment products in the final analysis, and there are also levels here. Some films have a long aftertaste, and some films have been forgotten. For mass-produced products such as "Cold Light of the Day" on an industrialized assembly line, they are forgotten while watching. In recent years, mainland China has become the largest gold-fishing place for these types of films. Every year there is a strict quota for the introduction of films. In order to protect the infant children, they can only make the best plan to select such foreign scraps and sell them coldly to the audience. On the one hand, it can keep its own box office income, and on the other hand, it can also destroy others' ambitions and grow their own prestige. In addition, the cost of introducing "batch films" is extremely low, and when they are put in theaters, they basically don't need to promote them at all, and they can make a profit without losing money. As long as the film meets the "gimmick and no quality" conditions, then there is no discussion about the introduction. On October 12 alone, there were three movies of the same color that landed in China for the market to digest. Not to mention that the BluRay version was released on the Internet thousands of years ago, why can't we introduce some high-quality, niche European and American harmony movies?

Another value of "Cold Light of the Day" is reflected in the phenomenon of "big-name soy sauce". The competition among Hollywood movie stars is fierce enough, and many big names have become less and less of a lower limit. The film will be picked up, regardless of the script or even the playing time. Don't mind running a trick, just pay for it. In the seventh season of "How I Met Your Mother," there was an episode of ridicule Nicholas Cage, "He is everything". It is understandable that at the same time, he is also madly overdrawing his credibility, so that in the end, he may not be able to accept a good show. This is a bad phenomenon in Hollywood, and it seems to have spread. Sigourney Weaver is once again contaminated with the villain, without any characteristics, before in "Paul" there was an inexplicable performance. For example, Samuel Jackson, who has the largest output of bad and good movies at the same time, seems to have become a peacemaker.

Thinking about it this way, "Cold Light of the Day" still has its meaning, but this meaning has nothing to do with the film itself.
