Continuing to adjust the state, the mental aspect is still ups and downs and not stable enough. It seems that it will take some time to fully recover. Recently, I can only slow down the rhythm and recuperate.

American movie "Terminal" (terminal)

Type of work: plot

Main actors: Margot Robbie (playing as the "twin" Avenger), Simon Pegg (playing as Bill), Max Irons (playing as Alfred), Dexter Fletcher (playing as Vince), Mike Myers (playing as the boss and father of the twin sisters)

Story summary: tells the revenge journey of twin sisters

Release time: Released in the US on May 11, 2018

Quite inferior film, from the beginning to the end, the work exudes a sour breath of "pretending", so that the audience can't realize the point of the story at all? The film shows that it is not satisfactory.

I, poor quality actors

Have a chat about two actors with great contrast.

Max Irons, once a handsome British boy, is now basically disabled. The loss of the proud face, coupled with the mediocre acting skills, directly led to a sharp decline in its market value, and it was only a matter of time before it was eliminated.

Margot Robbie, a leader in the new generation of actors born in the 90s, especially in recent years, has constantly challenged various roles, such as: the female thief in "Focus", the harlequin in "Suicide Squad", and "I, Queen of Flowers" The ice skaters... the acting skills are improving year by year, and the popularity is growing rapidly. I believe that within a few years, the Oscar's best actress will also be included in the bag.

II. Inferior storyline

A simple revenge story (the twin sisters avenge the murder of their mother ), but the director made a mystery and adapted it into a "nondescript" suspense thriller ( three groups of killers competed for posts ), with various inexplicable clues and lack of logic. The splicing of plots makes the film that hasn't been watched in the first place even more boring.

As for the "Secret of the Heroine’s Life Experience" (or the analysis of the motives of murder) arranged at the end of the movie , it is also "superfluous". With this extra effort, the little bit of "suspense" that has finally been established was wiped out by the director at the last moment, Vaughn Stein. Finally downgraded his "bad review work" to a "super bad movie" .

III. Inferior narrative and editing

If you can’t play the narrative or flashback, just don’t play it. Just follow the normal narrative rhythm, but the director is not convinced. Self-defeating. The narrative structure is a mess of sand, and the audience can see it in the clouds, bar talks, dance hall rewards, and murder games. In the end, the director himself is dizzy, not to mention the people watching the film...

Let's look at the editing again. The absolute "brilliant" editor, this plot is divided, and no one is next to each other. The first second "sings and dances", the next second "swords and swords shadows", after the audience sorts out their clues, they "time shuttle". "Now, this movie is hard and tiring to watch...

The book is not exhaustive, so put it aside.

Director ★☆☆☆☆ (The future of the director is just like the title "Terminal", over)

Actor ★★★☆☆ (Margot Robbie's role is very interesting, small emotions are switched in various ways, as for a few men, it is too common)

Plot ★☆☆☆☆ (This plot is nothing but nothing)

Visual effects ★★★★☆ (The visual experience is somewhat similar to last year’s "Cold City", and the art of using light is very particular)

Sound effect ★☆☆☆☆ (the presence is zero)

Recommendation ★☆☆☆☆ (The motivation is not pure, purely to see Margot Robbie)
