After watching "Cold City" and "Anna" in succession, I felt that the film industry in the United States had reached its limit. Accurate double switching can complete a pure action movie of the heroine.
The lonely revenge action film trend that began with john wick, coupled with the awakening of female consciousness, immediately gave birth to many imitative works. The "Cold City" and "Anna" I mentioned above are relatively high-level movies. , But the more imitators, the better and the worse.
"New Charlie Girl", "Eternal Guardian", "Ava", "Rhythm Group" and other movies are definitely not excellent. The recent "Black Widow" and "Gunpowder Milkshake" are also unsatisfactory. I don't know the following " 355", will it finally pour cold water on this "beating girls" craze.
If anyone wants to pay for the killer movies that have sprung up in the past two years, Keanu Reeves can't escape the blame. Who told him to quickly rejuvenate a few years ago because of "Quick Hunter" and shoot three in a row. The box office has also risen steadily, which is simply a way for the small and medium cost action movies that are gradually getting colder.
Since then, in addition to the above-mentioned female action movies such as "Cold City", "Anna", "Ava", "Little People", "Shocking Rescue", "Extreme Line Killer" and other "personal heroism" "There are also many "Strong Action" movies.
But, can you really make a big hit at the box office as long as you take a picture of a cat and draw a tiger?
You have a dog, the dog is killed, you go to retaliate, and then the whole organization/gangsters come to kill you.
This reminds me of Tony Jia’s "Tom Yum Goong", in which Tony Jia really hit from the sky to the ground in order to get his elephant back. Although the plot is rough, he can’t bear to contribute several action movies to the history. The famous bridge section.
Tony Jia has real skills after all, but there are fewer and fewer actors like Jackie Chan who really dare to fight (Atango is one), and Keanu Reeves makes up for this with his own hard practice and superb action team. It's a pity, and the team used "Little People" to once again show the huge gain of this action style to the action scene.
It’s just that women, as physically weak, do not actually have an advantage in the play. Take a look at the earlier female action movies, 2010's "Agent Sauter". Angelina Jolie played an agent rather than a killer. It's an imitation of high IQ action movies like "Hurricane Rescue" and "The Bourne Shadow"
The rest, such as "Super Body" and "Edge of Tomorrow" have also added a lot of special effects. It is not easy to find a pure action movie with a heroine.
"Cold City" can be regarded as a superb long-shot scheduling combined with Theron's hard work to break the siege
In the movie, although Theron's action scenes are beautiful, we can also see Theron's physical strength gap as a woman. After all, not all actresses are like the Amazon warriors in "Justice League".
At least, in "Cold City", the enemy is evenly matched, not a fool.
But slowly, this kind of movie found it really difficult to think about so much. Simply set the heroines to have more strength, thicker armor, and the villain to be more brainless, able to fight melee without shooting, and be able to cooperate with the heroine. The performance will never be a demon without authorization.
"Gunpowder Milkshake" is such a work.
When I saw the black woman in the movie smashed people forward and rolled over with a small hammer, I felt that this black woman was no longer an ordinary woman.
She became Dashi Johnson, and she became Black Adam.
In my memory, apart from the outrageous Van Diesel under the blessing of the family, probably the only boulders that can fly people without strengthening their bodies.
"Gunpowder Milkshake" is so outrageous.
In other words, if you play well, we don't need to think about physics for the time being. After all, it is common for the "Quick Exclamation" series to violate the laws of physics, and the female characters in it are all capable of playing.
However, Miss Gillan’s action scenes can really be described as "flower fist embroidered legs". She doesn’t have much strength, and her reaction speed is not fast. However, the male villains have to cooperate with her and be abused by her. How cool it looks Get up?
Actually, hand-to-hand play is not good, but it’s better to play with guns, like Brie Larson’s "Fire Trade"
Daniel's "Gun at the Waist"
It’s cool even when the gun is bounced (Harry Berry’s gun battle in "Prepare for War" is also good)
However, the mother and daughter are not, take a small pistol and shoot two rounds, and then you must start hand-to-hand combat (clearly the arsenal is so abundant). For the mother and two aunts, the guns also pose when they come out. I really can’t stand the scene where my mother shoots in the sky...
Not everyone can be a girl.
Now there are very few stars like the hard bridge and hard horses of the past.
So, if you don’t put more effort, or hire a reliable action team, play with guns
Play bomb
Still more insurance.
