There are almost no films that are worth watching recently. They are all modest and rough semi-finished products, and they are a little depressing.
American movie "Secret Love"
Type of work: Thriller
Main actors: Brenda Song, Mike Vogel, Dennis Haysbert
Story summary: Amnesia Jennifer meets a fake Russell (actually Ryan), a murderous "marriage"
Release time: Released in the U.S. on July 18, 2019
Another low-cost film invested by Netflix, the author was quite speechless after watching it. Obviously, this was not a successful attempt. It did not reach the expected ratings/attention, and was criticized by the audience, which was not cost-effective.
The story line of this work is very simple. The two words "love to kill".
To be more specific:
Opening-the heroine Jennifer was chased by the killer Ryan, and was hit by a car when she fled, causing amnesia.
Middle front section: (two parts)
1. Amnesia Jennifer lives with a fake Russell
2. Detective Frank intervened to investigate this bizarre "car accident"
Middle and back section: (the same two parts)
1. As the memory gradually recovered, Jennifer discovered that this marriage was "unusual". After several explorations, J finally realized the "truth".
2. The police also had new clues. With Frank's continuous efforts, the identity of the fake Russell was revealed.
It's over-Ryan sees the "truth" revealed, and becomes angry. He wants to kill J. He is frustrated by F who arrived in time. J and F teamed up to kill R.
This is the whole story, the content is really boring. But in terms of the expressiveness of the thrilling texture, it's decent, like "carrion shots" and "sneak attack on the police", it makes the audience's hearts tight, the atmosphere is created, and it's a bit interesting.
Talk about the actors again.
Brenda Song, almost didn't recognize it, thought it was Constance Wu from "Golden Romance". Fortunately, the two figures are different, or they would show their ugliness. From the perspective of acting skills, Brenda can be regarded as a "moderate", with nothing to do with nothing, but there are some passages, and the acting is a bit "unnatural".
Dennis Haysbert, the older he looks like Denzel Washington, he wears a beard, almost carved out of a Mozi, the key acting skills are good, there are two brushes.
Mike Vogel, personally feel that there is something wrong with the role setting. At first glance, he knows that he is not a good person. Such obvious "facts" make the work suddenly lose its "suspense".
Finally, talk about some digressions.
1. Now there are more and more low-cost works, but the quality is getting worse and worse. The emergence of this situation has made the audience wonder about the future of the "film and television market".
2. In recent years, the American dramas produced by Netflix have made great strides. In contrast, the film industry under its umbrella is "deteriorating." There are all kinds of birds".
3. There are many love scammers/scumbags. Girls must learn to protect themselves, recognize the reality and see the situation clearly.
end.
