As the only action film introduced at the end of 2016, "Top of Speed" is definitely a superb work. Dopamine secretion. A movie with such a tight rhythm is usually the "story" that is easily overlooked! But fortunately, the director of this film, Elan Crevey, is very smart. He knows how to combine plot and drag racing ingeniously.
This film tells the story of the male protagonist played by Nicholas Holt, Kathy Stern, an American backpacker who chooses to hide in Germany in order to escape the jail caused by stealing cars many times. Then began to do drug business with Glenn played by Ben Kingsley. Juliet Marr, played by Felicity Jones, didn’t stop until she met the love of her life. Unexpectedly, her girlfriend was seriously ill and needed treatment. Kathy Stern decided to go to the risk for love for the last time and get involved in drugs.
Note that this is only the first half of the story. In the second half of the movie, the true meaning of "death to fight drug lord and go crazy for love" is truly revealed. The unfolding of the specific story will not be spoiled here. The good story and the cleverly controlled rhythm bring excitement, and at the same time it is moved and heartbeat. It can also remember the subtleties of the actors and the layout of the plot, which is perfect.
Movies about speed are always accompanied by luxury cars. In "Top of the Speed", according to the statistics of the director group, a total of 47 luxury cars were used to show this free movement scene on German highways, bringing shocking and strong visual effects to the audience. In this film, in addition to the racing war on the highway, there are also chasing and hiding in the alleys of Germany. From time to time, the killer shoots wildly. The invincible impact all the way, the destructive power is instantaneous, and the destructive power is blessed with speed. Yes, this is very Speed.
The lineup of the film can be called luxurious in capitals
Two Oscar winners, one Oscar nominee, plus Britain's first beautiful teenager, perfect. In an era when both appearance and acting skills are needed, among the new generation of actors, Nicholas Holt should be the most optimistic. Sometimes he is a little crazy, sometimes a little sad, and with clear blue eyes, so many fans want to lick the screen! In the film, he played without a stand-in. There was a group of highway shootouts, which took two weeks to shoot. In the scene of the trenches, he played in person, just to let the audience feel the bumps of the car. The pain that comes. I believe that with the release of "Top of the Speed", he will surely have countless fans.
And the heroine Felicity Jones, at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, won the special jury award for her excellent performance in "Love Is Crazy", and then again won the Gotham Award. In the film, she is the love of his life. However, she suffered from severe kidney disease and urgently needed a kidney transplant. In order to pay for the high medical expenses, lies and conspiracies began to unfold. If you want to feel a little warmth in the passion, and want to have warmth and warmth in your heart in winter, and your eyes are wet, then "Top of Speed" is definitely the best choice.
Of course, after the film satisfies the welfare of the licking party, it also arranges two old drama bones that can show textbook-like acting skills. Oscar actor Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley both play villains in the film, but one is a native man who loves gold like life in the Northeast Diaoye, and the other is a British yuppie who speaks but makes people horrible. The two gentlemen love each other and kill each other in the film, and finally they share a dog, adding a lot of brilliance to this carefully crafted work of conscience.
In short, in this era when the speed can only be controlled at 45 mph, it is also a good choice to go to the cinema to watch "Top of the Speed" and release the "hot blood".
