The texture is very good, the style is very ancient

Briefly say a few points.

First, the texture is very good. Keanu’s performance has a very special sense of reality. For example, you can see that most of the time he was limping, panting, or even slightly awkwardly falling down, breaking the defense, and then shooting a headshot. This is a notable difference from the clean moves in the first part. Objectively speaking. It may be that the actors are getting older, and some of the actions are no longer in place. But judging from the quality of the film, a dead end killer with injuries on his shoulder, liver area, leg, and broken finger should look like this. I especially liked the shot of him coming back to take the shotgun in the last battle. He grabbed the gun with both hands and took it down, feeling that he was almost unable to hold it. While holding it, he complained that "we don't have enough firepower."

Second, the core of this film is actually very oriental. To be precise, there are especially Gu Long mid-term novels. For example, Chu Liuxiang, the taste of seven weapons. Fascinating killer organizations, homicide orders that are popular in the world, "professionals" who usually look at ordinary people who can dispose of corpses with money, custom bulletproof suits, and so on. By the way, there are even gangs of beggars. I deeply suspect that the screenwriter is a fan of martial arts novels.

In fact, even the shortcomings of this story are the same as those of Gu Long's mid-stage works: too pretending to be untrue. The twelve stars in "Peerless Twins" look exactly the same as the twelve zodiac signs. Although cool but very unreal (for example, the chicken is a gang of five people, I really can't imagine how much courage their leader needs to claim "Chicken head"), the world of john wick is also the same-the wealth accumulation, expenditure and system of high table are fundamentally impossible to establish. But in any case, the film did "look believable".
