I am very disgusted with the routineization of many film reviews. As soon as I saw Liam and the words "rescue" and "rescue" linked together, I started to complain about the "save the universe series" and talk about other people's routines. Even if you write a short comment, they are all routines. Who is laughing? At that time, I deliberately leaned on the routine, Ice Road, which word has the meaning of rescue? To put it this way, I can squeeze a bunch of movies with words like rescue. "Chinese Captain" can also be changed to "Shocking Rescue" or "Thirty Thousand Feet Rescue", "Chinese Doctor" can also be changed to "Rescue Angel", "Wolf Warriors-Aid to Africa", and "Shocking Mekong". . .
Talk about business. This is actually quite a surprise, different from Liam's previous action movies. In this movie, he is a big truck driver, with a retired brother who is suffering from aphasia to discuss life, his brother is specialized in machinery, he drives first-class, and is a very good partner in the long-distance transportation industry in the ice and snow. However, due to his younger brother's condition and his long-term protection of his younger brother's full-body aggression, the lives of the two are not too secure. They can't afford a car and can only work as drivers for companies that have cars, and their income will be cut a lot by the company. On the other hand, the black-hearted management of the mine company believes that turning off the methane detection instruments in the mine will save costs more - if methane is detected, it will need to stop work, which means that the construction period will be extended and the cost will be increased. They each issued an additional 100 yuan per month and verbally promised that "there will be no methane in the mines in this area" as a condition of shutting down the detectors. Of course, a methane explosion occurred during the mining process. The miners were trapped in the mine, hoping that the company would transport enough equipment to open the mine from a distance before the thin air was exhausted. Because the transportation route includes some roads with only ice structure, and the weather is getting warm when the accident occurs, the load-bearing capacity of those icy roads is weakening, and businesses don’t want to see their own cargo vehicles and drivers fall into the ice caves. The amount of air waybills is naturally scarce, forming a low season for transportation, and drivers naturally give themselves a holiday. Therefore, when the mine company sent someone to find the person in charge of the transportation company, Jim (our beloved Morpheus), he also scratched his head, so he had to release the news about the driver of the Bing Road and conduct strict interviews one by one-after all, both ends are fatal. If the driver is inexperienced or technically inadequate, the driver will hang up on the icy road, and it will also destroy the opportunity to rescue the miners. So the protagonist group appeared under such conditions.
During this extraordinary period, the remuneration was naturally high. The unemployed brother duo was selected by Jim for their excellent skills. At the same time, there is a miner Cody in the mine. He has an aboriginal sister who is experienced in driving and was a former employer of racial discrimination. There was a physical conflict and was sent to the game, Jim also saved her, and Jim counted himself as well. Liam's red car No. 1, sister's black car No. 2, Jim's yellow car No. 3, and three large trucks. Set off with the instrument. The reason why three vehicles are needed is to prevent at least other vehicles from going to the mining area if there is a vehicle accident on the way. Of course, the company also sent an insurance officer to follow the car, which was a standard operation.
When the three cars lined up into the icy road, the insurer asked the girl innocently, "Is this dangerous? It doesn't look like a big deal". At the end, Jim discovered that the car was malfunctioning, the engine was smoking, and the car drove. Not moving anymore. Liam has a lot of experience, and went back to let the mechanic brother check it, while using cable hooks to connect the three cars together, intending to drag Jim's car together.
I want to explain here that driving on an ice road requires a certain speed to reduce the pressure on the ice surface per unit time per unit time. Otherwise, the ice road will crack during the day when the temperature rises in the film, and if it is serious, there will be more than a small crack. , But the entire icy road will crack, and everything on the road will sink into the icy water. At the same time, the experienced drivers in the film saw at a glance that the engine of a good car like Jim smoked soon after driving, which was a gasoline problem.
But the ice surface broke very quickly. As soon as the three cars were connected, the ice surface under the rear of Jim's car broke. The rear part of the car began to sink into the water slowly. Unfortunately, Jim's feet were accidentally cabled. Wrapped and dragged into the water together. Before sinking, he shouted to his sister to cut the link rope of car 3, sacrificing himself so that cars 1 and 2 would not be dragged into the ice water.
Car No. 1 and No. 2 rolled over after a period of crazy driving. It may be the reason why the contact surface between the vehicle and the ice surface was doubled and reduced after the rollover. In the process of trying to turn the car over while overhauling, the insurer asked Liam about the cause of the failure of car 3. Based on the sister’s hard-line attitude towards white people and standing next to car 3 before departure, he suggested that the sister asked Liam. It is assumed that the hands and feet caused the accident in the fuel tank of the No. 3 car. During the confrontation between Liam and the insurer, the girl was tough and took out a gun, causing Liam to lose trust in her, and let her younger brother control the girl. After both cars were overturned, he planned to fight the vehicle with his younger brother. After the final inspection, he and his younger brother continued to drive car No. 1, and car No. 2 carrying the tied-up sister was driven by the insurer to continue to the mining area.
When Liam and his brother checked the cargo box of car 1, the insurer came over with a smile, closed the cargo box door and locked it, and transferred the materials in car 1 to car 2. Put explosives and a fuze long enough under the box to ensure that when you drive car 2 for a sufficient distance, the explosives will explode and car 1 will sink into the water along with the two brothers. The girl reacted, the original intention of the company was not to really rescue the miners, but to pretend to carry out rescue operations. It sent subordinates pretending to be insurers to destroy the rescue vehicles on the way, so that the company's management could be put in the effort to rescue them. But to return to the position of lack of skills, secondly, the true connection that turned off the methane detector can be buried with the miners who know it.
After all, Liam and his brother are people who are very familiar with trucks. They found the non-integrated part of the cargo box and used a metal pipe to hit it out with a siege hammer. The reason is that if they are kidnapped and thrown in the trunk of the car, they can use their feet. The position of the taillights in the trunk makes it easier to kick out a hole. After going out, because the villain’s fuze was long enough, Liam was able to throw the explosives a distance. The explosion shattered the ice and the cargo box of car No. 1 sank into the water. The brothers were okay, but the body was fine. The sister came to the same conclusion. She drove car 1 and started chasing car 2 in a rage, while the villain turned around and saw the fire in the distance. After driving a short distance, the villain met with the management of the company to report the situation, and planned to build the No. 2 car with the two younger brothers brought by the management. vehicle. With the help of some kind of rodent, the girl drove the villain out of the car, and drove car 2 while escaping for help. Liam drove car 1 and at the same time, the villain took car 2 when the girl started driving slowly. The oil pipeline was broken, and he drove the company's car to chase the No. 2 car, and at the same time asked the two younger brothers to drive the snowmobile to stop the No. 1 car.
After all, brother Liam is a retired soldier, and he still plays machinery. After cooperating with Liam to get the two younger brothers, he caught up with the villain who was chasing car 2 and drove him and his car down the cliff. Due to the oil leak of car 2, they spent some time transferring part of the fuel of car 1 to the fuel tank of car 2. During this period, the surviving villain drove the snowmobile to a high place and found a good place to put the explosives. , Creating an avalanche, trying to bury cars 1 and 2 together with 3 people. So the two cars ran wildly. Although they escaped from the avalanche range, the girl was injured and her driving ability declined. So they transferred the cargo box of car 2 to car 1, abandoned car 2, and 3 people drove red car 1 to Mining area. But soon the younger brother discovered that the villain was driving car #2 to catch up, and when the two cars drove into the icy road area, they began to hit car #1. So Liam let his younger brother drive, jumped into car 2 to fight with the villain, car 1 was able to move on. Liam is not too good at playing the villain, but his victory is overwhelmingly strong in the experience of vehicles and ice roads. So in the process of competing for the steering wheel, when judging that the ice road will break again, he took the initiative to jump out of the cockpit, the villain Take car 2 into the water.
At the same time, the car No. 1 driven by the younger brother encountered the final checkpoint, a very narrow and slippery cable bridge with an uphill terrain. The younger brother’s driving was not a strong point, so he was driven by a more experienced but injured girl. Tire anti-slip pads. After barely passing the cable bridge, the cable bridge broke, but the vehicle started to slip and then slipped. The sister asked her brother to close the iron door on the pavement of the cable bridge to prevent the car from slipping to the edge of the cliff and crashing, but the lock of the iron door was due to The ice didn’t melt and couldn’t be closed, so my brother tried his best to plug in the latch, and he was seriously injured by the slid truck box and the iron door. Liam who came to bid farewell to his brother with his brother’s body and the injured. Sister, drove the No. 1 car with the instrument to the mining area.
The owner of the mine company and the Minister of Energy were discussing the possible direction of the incident with the management, and when they were unable to do anything, they were surprised that the instrument was delivered. After all the miners were rescued, the boss learned that the management had turned off the methane detector without authorization, and then the police took evidence. At the end of the film, Liam bought a large truck of his own with the rewards he got from this adventure, doing sourcing business, gave the truck a name that his brother had thought of before he was alive, and continued to live a happy bachelor's life.
As above, this is a film with an unexpected reversal, and it is by no means an action film in which the protagonist's halo is added to the fist. Although the scene of the miners in the mine is a bit redundant, and the part of the ice road is a bit exaggerated and false, the story itself is okay.
