Yi Hao:
This movie is a fairly standard type of plot.
Leaving aside the extremely loud and heavy rain (the murderer spent five years doing big things just for trivial questions? Are you kidding me?), and Ding Sheng, the director and screenwriter of the whole film, although the screenwriting is good, the director's editing skills need to be strengthened (A bunch of memories that are forced to join can be omitted. Did you insert it when you found it was not needed and couldn’t bear it?) Besides, this is already a secret room type movie that has been put on the stage in China in recent years, and even in Asia recently. .
Ding Sheng, the leader, obviously absorbed the essence of the "closed space" type of movies, and created a Beijing-style escape room pattern.
The senior police officer played by Jackie Chan goes to meet his daughter in Wu Pub, a downtown area of Beijing, but her daughter is rebellious and unwilling to be seen, and is held hostage by someone with a heart. In the crisis, the father and daughter realize their dependence on each other, just like "The Devil: True Lies" In (True Lies), Arnold Schwarzenegger saves his wife and children's body and saves his heart; the
kidnapper turned out to be the Pub operator, he carefully set up this game to kill Jackie Chan, and all Pub clerks are rivals , all the guests are taken hostage, Jackie Chan has to take
care of the innocent while taking a risky escape, which is very similar to the scene of Stephen Seagal in "Under Siege" (Under Siege) in a train car to save people and kill people; The hired Southeast Asian thugs fought one-on-one in the iron cage, and there were death fights in the secret room, and they copied a lot of Iko Uwais in the "Serbuan maut" (Serbuan maut). scene.
Interspersed with the negotiation between the police and the bandits, it is inevitable that elements of the classic "The Negotiator" of this type of work will be mixed in, making the negotiation table an important decision of life and death.
Ding Sheng fryed the old foreigners for a lot of time, but he got good taste and managed the whole film vividly; the suspense of the answer was laid out, and the information on the map of the secret room was gradually grasped. The unequal information, the atmosphere of survival in a gloomy and closed environment , and then let the old Jackie Chan, who is also Arnold, Sigal, and Indonesian cops, add convincing.
One Bad:
It's a good police movie, but not the kind of police story the audience wants to see.
The first four films of "Police Story" were born in the 1990s, which were the products of the era when the Hong Kong movie box office was the most prosperous, and both the public taste and Jackie Chan's reputation were at their peak. The story will always revolve around small policemen making big Hong Kong, simple duality of good and evil, big-name performance lineup, hilarious characterization, coupled with Jackie Chan-style slapstick, the story will become, it is not worthy of any recollection, and neither will the audience. What more. Ten
years later, "New Police Story" was launched in the millennium. It retained the characteristics of superstar gatherings and Jackie Chan martial arts, but added a little more sophistication of the old man and the interpretation of the acting niche, making this a great movie. The climax of the Police Story series.
After another ten years, "Police Story 2013" was launched last year, but this time it became an escape room show by the Beijing police. Police Sir. is gone, Hong Kong is gone, the hustle and bustle of running around is gone, Hong Kong stars have abdicated, and the judgment of good and evil has become blurred. It's really uncomfortable in tonality to accept such a movie as a police story series for a while.
The second bad:
It is a good B-level clever screenwriter, but not the screenwriter of the Lunar New Year blockbuster that the audience wants to see.
When "Police Story 2013" was released in the mainland, it belonged to the Lunar New Year movie. It was powerful and also equipped with an IMAX 3D version, which seemed to be a blockbuster format. Blockbuster is not a crime, and making money is not a bad thing, but although the story of "Police Story 2013" is mostly based on the shadow of American business cards, the fusion is exactly like the operation of low-cost movies, and the story line is narrowed in a secret room. The confrontation in the secret room is exciting, but this kind of stimulation comes from the plot rather than the visual feast. Visually, this film does not need IMAX, let alone 3D. There are surprisingly few fights, and it is almost a literary drama.
In fact, when Jackie Chan received the first draft of the script, the director also promised that he would only let his eldest brother play the saliva scene, because saliva is enough for this scene. What's more, in 2012, after the filming of "Zodiac", Jackie Chan claimed to have retired from the action stage; he filmed "Police Story 2013" a year before the words came to fruition. Did Jackie go back on his word, or did he think police stories weren't action movies at all in his eyes? .
Three Bad:
It's a good actor's performance, but it's not the Jackie Chan that the audience wants to see.
Jackie Chan is old and can't move anymore. In fact, we all know that he should be old, and which hero will not enter his old age? Jackie Chan reluctantly waved his fists and feet in front of the screen, and he was not only saddened by Jackie Chan's relatives and friends (would his ancestral name be sad? He was so sad that he could be cured by taking drugs?), but also thousands of movie fans who watched Jackie Chan grow up.
Seeing him being smashed to death by Liu Hailong in "Police Story 2013", we no longer expect to see Jackie Chan turn the corner as usual, because he is so old that he can't even perform the "Jackie Chan-style juggling" we want to see . Too intense action can't be done. Dad Fang changed to show the most popular CQC style fighting method. However, depending on the tricks of CQC, Donnie Yen and Matt Damon can have a good time and have fun, but Jackie Chan is the only one who comes to play. This young trick used to be difficult for the sea, except that Wushan was not a cloud, so it was awkward to read.
The audience is like a hostage in a movie. Seeing her husband, An, was crushed to the ground by the strong thugs, her eyes were red, and she wanted to shout, "Stop beating, big brother. You've done enough!"
Alas ,do you know? Actually, this movie should be played by Donnie Yen.
For Donnie Yen, if the police story of this title is removed from the series burden, the overall evaluation will definitely rise several grades, and there is no need to talk about the good and the bad.
The most important thing is that Jackie Chan wears the leather jacket and the corners of his mouth that he pretends to be a tough guy. The visual sense is overweight. It is simply a copycat version of Dan Ge in "Fuse".
This is another awkward place that Jackie Chan fans can't bear to say...
ps
Thanks to Jaycee Chan for taking drugs.
If it wasn't for Jaycee Chan who didn't make it on the page to get my attention, I'd probably have forgotten to watch Jaycee Chan and his father's new movie "Police Story 2013" last year.
