Should not the movie Robert De Niro and John Travolta, two Hollywood actor class people very pertinent performance, then the "deadly duel" is a dull aftermath of war , The tension of the plot and the paleness of the characterization make the deep meaning of the show not able to be deeply grasped, and it only becomes a lengthy work of the love between the two old people.


You kill me and I will kill you. The short seven words are enough to cover all of the movie. "Fatal Showdown" was inspired by the ethnic cleansing of the Serbian invasion of Bosnia in 1992. The American officer who could not bear to slaughter the captives suffered revenge from their former opponents. , Two-way fleeing in a vast forest and hunting each other, the film is actually a two-person drama that tests the acting skills, and the strong combination of two old dramas, De Niro and Travolta's outstanding acting skills are undoubtedly Competent for this duel between two heroes, but a movie is not just a test of acting skills, the proposition of war and racial persecution requires a strong enough blueprint to support it, but these are the works of this film. It doesn't have both.


The flat, hard-to-see narrative structure makes it difficult for the film to make a difference in the tension of the plot from beginning to end. The beauty of the scenery and the music are not enough to cover the emptiness of the plot. In the process of hunting and transforming, " "Fatal Showdown" is presented with the heart that the director hopes for, but like a seemingly rich feast, you can taste it and find that it has never been salted. The lack of material is not only due to the blueprint itself. The lack of points lies in the fact that it is difficult to see the hidden pain of war in the presence of a mutual killing. On the contrary, it makes people taste a little bit of basic sentiment, so that the original intention to solve the barriers after the war is only a joke.

Just like a turn-based game, you kill me and I will kill you. The two elders spend the sunset together. There is an anticlimax with acting but lacking in plot. Why not be intoxicating? !
