After Jackie Chan was tied up, the director specially arranged a guessing game in his conversation with Liu Ye, and he continued to interject during the guessing process. According to common sense, guessing is to create suspense, and this suspense must be carried through. But this guessing is optional, except for increasing the duration and mobilizing the tense atmosphere, it is basically disconnected from the subsequent plot. In the middle of the negotiation process, the performance of the lines should have been used to reflect the confrontation between the two sides, but before Jackie Chan could stabilize the situation, the plot arranged an inexplicable arena fight. What's worse is that the truth that has been buried deep in the film is too pediatric, which is not in line with the well-laid suspense game of Liu Ye, the big villain, and it can be said that Liu Ye's motives are quite naive and untenable. There is more than enough energy, the director does have the meaning of being like a high-level crime film, but the localization is not outstanding; fortunately, the film has a rare and simple temperament of commercial films, and the revealing of the truth at the end comes from the normal life of ordinary citizens, and there is no such thing as It is too high-profile to promote the values of justice and evil, the beginning of the story and life, and the end of life.
The most iconic part of the "Police Story" series is that Jackie Chan is flying over the walls in the modern city. He is not afraid of life and death. He races wildly in the downtown area, and even fights with robbers with one enemy and many enemies. This film series is almost the entire actor of Jackie Chan. The best footnote of my career. But if you look forward to "Police Story 2013" with old memories, you will be disappointed. The whole film's scenes are mainly concentrated in a bar, and the action scenes are also simple and only simple fistfights. action comedy style. However, Jackie Chan's change this time is positive and surprising. He not only changed the stereotyped image of the mainland police, but also made a huge breakthrough in literary drama. This time, he abandoned the sign of action and made himself a hero. A pure actor.
Jackie Chan's performance in "Police Story 2013" is completely surprising. You can't see the glitz of an international actor, and you can't feel the usual photographic aura of an action actor. He is no longer a must-have in the film. The victorious hero has been hugged and smashed to the ground many times, and his face is full of wrinkles and blood. Strange and fresh. In fact, the policeman is just Jackie Chan's second identity in the film. All his life experiences have settled down to play a self-blaming father. The tone of his speech and the code of conduct are very similar to the quality that a Beijing man should have, and for the first time his consistent preaching did not make the audience feel disgusted, because this time, whether he was educating his daughter or using the police force The stance to educate criminals and the public can be convincing and empathetic. "Police Story 2013" can be defined as a small-scale suspense film, although it has more or less loopholes in the context of the whole story, such as the villain's naive and unrealistic motives for crimes, etc. It is also quite easy to affect the perception. However, everything is attentive. The film can see sincerity from the design of the scene. Converting an abandoned factory into a metallic bar can easily create an uneasy and turbulent atmosphere.
The biggest shortcoming of the film is the 3D effect that absolutely reduces the points, pure money-making behavior, but compared with some blockbuster films, such commercial films that focus on the story itself and put the plot in the first place are the real Chinese films. needs. In fact, the current reputation of the movie is very unreal. Some ideological audiences have a strong prejudice against Jackie Chan, a big mouth, and cannot make an objective judgment at all. And the vast majority of the audience even prepared a star for "Police Story 2013" as a New Year's gift because of Jing Tianhou's consistent and stable performance. This film is far more conscientious than a film that scolds the audience for being an idiot.
