Director's posthumous "Reindeer Game"

Speaking of the name John Frankheimer, it may be unfamiliar to most people. I think that back then, whether it was "Battle Train" co-produced by a famous director, Arthur Payne, or "Dr. Strange Love", it was comparable to "Dr. Strange Love". Seven Days in May, the Cold War classic "Manchurian Candidate", "Thunderbolt Kamikaze" in "The Hardest Car Chase", "Second Life" in the "Super Experimental Movie", or inspirational The edition of ``Shawshank's "Alcatez's Bird Breeder" all marked that he became one of the representative directors of 60S, which was the peak period of his creation. But he prefers to make action movies (this is also the only type of movie he has ever shot after 60s. Of course, you can also say that the "Prophecy" can't be included in it.)! But sometimes it is probably ``accidental filming'' to produce masterpieces. The irony is that almost all of his most failed works in the director Shengya are from action movies, so that it was not until 1998 that "Ruroin" slightly saved him a little face. .
And this film has become a masterpiece of the shortcomings of all his action movies. It has a small format, a drag narrative, and a story that is either cliché or brainless. I originally wanted to praise the inmates for their reversal, but I was caught by the male protagonist.'' "Giving money" is an idiot to "welcome back to the values ​​of the masses" and it is exploded. Coupled with the paralyzed big book and stingy scenes (FUCK! Actually there is no car chase scene that Frankheimer is best at.), even if the dew point of Sister Theron is completely reduced to a bargain produced by the Hollywood assembly line. !
However, even though there are so many shortcomings, I don't know if it is because of the slightly sad and warm Christmas atmosphere in the film, or some of the attractive places, I am still willing to give this film to Samsung in the end. In fact, if you only use it as a bucket of popcorn for consumption time, it can still be swallowed. Of course, eating too much junk food with excessive lead content can be healthy for people. No easy.
Overall rating: 6.0/10.

    The facts tell us not to brag, let alone pretend to be someone else, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
