A mediocre commercial film

Write at the beginning. During the November, when I went to the cinema, there was only one movie and it was shown right away, so I went in and watched it. Unfortunately, I was the only one in the whole theater, which shows how deserted it is. In fact, in terms of quality alone, this movie should be given to Samsung, but since I paid to enter the cinema to watch, although it is very refreshing to monopolize the entire theater, I still feel that my money is wasted seriously, so for subjective reasons, I give Two stars.
I have watched the PS movie once. I watched it in the cinema more than 20 days ago, so it is inevitable that there are omissions. I just vomit in my spare time and complain about my movie ticket money... The following is the text.

If you have never seen a spy movie before, then this movie is worth watching. However, after watching countless spy movies, I accidentally watched this movie, and it was like I paid to go to the cinema to watch it, so I must say that the kids who paid to watch movies, including me, are really sad. rise.

As a spy war theme movie, this film contains the basic necessary elements: romantic love, touching affection, suspense that happens to be everywhere, neat action, compact plot, and bright theme. But as a commercial film, this film really has nothing to attract.
1. Romantic love, touching affection?
The heroine in charge of the family relationship is a middle school student with a round face and freckles. We said that in commercial films, the heroine is not very useful, at least it can be used as a vase, and the heroine lacks skin, at least it can help a lot. But looking at our heroine, from start to finish, there are only a few times when they don’t do anything wrong. When the very few do help, although you can feel the growth of the character, there is really not much highlight, and it’s just what you think When she was about to grow into a good assistant for the agent’s father, she found out that her agent’s father was ambiguous with the beautiful agent’s sister, so she ran away from work. In the end, the beautiful girl’s sister became involved, and the landlord of the temporary tenant also became the agent, the agent. Dad also suffered a major crisis. Therefore, the heroine is just an ordinary adolescent rebellious girl. The title says that she doesn't like her father. In the middle of the movie, it says that she has grown up and can help her father. Do you think you have family affection, but it is a pity that she is just starting out as a secret agent assistant. It was over soon, and the ending was to reconcile with Dad, but the overall handling was really lackluster.
Let’s talk about the supporting actress who is in charge of love. The supporting actress is very beautiful. Her setting originally made me look forward to. She seemed ambiguous with the male protagonist, but she dragged it into the fire pit with one hand. I was still struggling with interests and emotions. I was full of heart. Thinking that she would be a tangled and sad villain, she would probably be a gunner for the actor at the end, blocking a car, etc., so she had to be sensational and romantic at the time. In the end, it turned out to be bento when it shouldn't be the last time, and the method of bento turned out to be shot to death. I say you hold on more! From the perspective of the script, you have not fulfilled the mission that a supporting actress should have. The beauty of you is anticlimactic. (I won’t say much about the plot here. You can watch the spoilers in other comments or find a movie by yourself. It’s absolutely bloody enough that you want to make a case, but you are too boring and bothered to get it.)
Of course There is also a guy in charge of love. The setting should be the daughter’s boyfriend, but their love scenes are not enough. What this guy does is more like a buddy who stabs his brother. No What kind of flower-protecting messenger's style, but the setting is love again, it's really nondescript.
2. The actor with a bright spot?
The male protagonist is actually a handsome guy. The key to a spy movie actor is that he is either a young handsome guy with a personality, or a middle-aged handsome guy with a personality. It can be seen that the essential elements for the male protagonist of the spy movie are to have personality and to be handsome. Middle-aged and elderly people can take a step back and ask him to have demeanor. The male protagonist looks okay, but the key problem is that he has no personality at all.
To talk about romance, it seems possible to be with a supporting actress, but the film does not explain it at all; to talk about the elite style, without the self-confident and free temperament that exudes from the inside out; to talk about hiding the identity, it is still a bleached temperament. The agent of, who is engaged in a legitimate profession, has no sense of mystery; to say that I am the only one, it is even worse, especially after the company disappeared overnight and suddenly "unemployed", plus all kinds of problems with his daughter. Pan, just like an ordinary uncle who suffered a mid-life crisis.
Finally, let’s talk about skills. I know that this movie probably has a small budget, so there are no big scenes and not many props. Therefore, the protagonist’s equipment is slightly inferior, but what is the improvised bomb used to deal with the big villain? ? ! Although it is very flattering, although it is obviously reasonable in terms of plot clues, is this really the climax? Director, are you too long in the early stage of the plot to control the later stage, or are you really out of money to make do, or do you actually want to shoot the nostalgia of the time when everyone made bombs and armed struggle 100 years ago?
3. Tight rhythm, neat action, reversal plot?
The film is always going on at an unhurried rhythm. It is especially deep in the movie theater. It is completely impossible to feel the suspense that makes the adrenaline surge. The so-called exciting viewing experience has absolutely nothing to do with this film. . Directors and screenwriters have a problem with the overall rhythm of the film. The detailed parts should not be slowed down, but passed a little, such as the inner struggle of the supporting actress, such as the emotional paving of the first half of the film (in this thin plot , The suspense part is really nothing to pave the way). Where you shouldn’t slow down, I’ll tell you about the sense of boredom, such as the discordant atmosphere between father and daughter, the story is not clear, the past has not been explained, and the cold war between father and daughter will be staged directly, and you will be full of drama. , For example, after the disappearance of the company, the male protagonist went to the headquarters to "appeal". The tense part, give you a little tension, and immediately jump to the next stage of the plot. It is not enjoyable at all. There is always a small climax at the end of each stage of the plot. This climax is always short and horrible. .
The details of the action scenes are pretty impressive. However, as a commercial film, the action scenes are not cool enough. For example, when the first killer is killed, a few fists will kill people. Too boring, right? ! The most powerless thing is to deal with the scene of the ultimate killer, I am full of thinking that in the end, I must use force to get this man? The result was that the actor tricked the strongest killer to let him send a message to the boss, and then the killer and BOSS were made by the actor together with the improvised bomb BOOM~~ I was looking at the ceiling in the movie theater and looking far away, speechlessly asking the ceiling.
The plot of the film is very reversal, but it is a pity that the reversal is unsurprising, and the reversal is very mediocre. The reversal part is at the beginning of each small stage. The screenwriter strives to make this reversal reasonable and reasonable, but never thought that this is not a novel but a movie. Too reasonable requires too much layout and transition, which makes all reversals impossible. Surprising, mediocre so that you can easily guess the next plot development. Is this still called suspense?
4. Bright themes?
The theme is clear enough, two words-help. Although I think the original intention of the director and screenwriter is to give you a theme of redemption, the male protagonist gets rid of the middle-aged crisis and completes the redemption of the soul, the daughter gets rid of the clear rebellion for a growth redemption, and the separation between the father and the daughter has the redemption of family love. The supporting actress does not know whether it is love or the salvation of conscience. In all aspects, the intention is good, but unfortunately the plot is not detailed or deep enough. In the end, when you look at it, you remember that the father and daughter are running for their lives.
5. Beautiful location!
It is true that the exterior part of this movie is good, and many landmark buildings in famous European cities were shot, but this part of the highlights may not constitute an advantage in China. After all, the Chinese people do not have a high degree of understanding of Europe, and these landmark buildings are difficult to cause. The resonance of everyone. Moreover, this is not a landscape film or a tourist promotion film. Although this is very attractive, who would watch it solely for the scenery?


Generally speaking, this is a film of average level, but the commercial value is really low, and the ability to attract money is really not strong. The director and screenwriter worked hard to incorporate all the elements of the spy film, and the actors were also very serious about dedicating acting skills. Unfortunately, the film lost the balance between art and commerce, and finally turned into a smorgasbord of mediocre tastes and lacklustre.
