In fact, the narrative of the film is very flat. Killer movies are shot without climax. I read the description of the thriller and so on, but this one is not too thrilling. I think it's more appropriate to classify it as a road movie. The shots are beautiful, and so is the soundtrack. The story is a little bland to read, but after reading it, it has an aftertaste. There are four characters in all: a cool old hitman (John Hurt) hired to find a whistleblower (Terence Stamp) in a case from years ago. The killer's assistant is a newbie, a young man (Tim Ross). Accidentally met on the road and had to bring a sexy girl (Laura Del Sol). John Hurt was a bit like Tommy Lee Jones, with a thin, wrinkled face. Such a face wears Hollywood-style Ray-Ban sunglasses and beige clothes, so cool. He doesn't talk much, but you can feel he's a killer with an emotional personality. He has every opportunity and ability to educate that hairy boy. But he doesn't do that, presumably wanting the young man to grow up on his own. He also had countless opportunities to kill the character girl beside him. But his feelings were subtle, and he never pulled the trigger. Of course the funniest is the whistleblower. Terence Stamp looks like a poet. And his actions were also very unrestrained. He told the killer, I read books for many years, and waited for them (the person who was accused by him) to send someone to kill me, I'm afraid the person who came was not a ruthless character. Niubi blow through. John Hurt may have admired him a little, so he decided to fulfill him. So as not to be looked down upon by this whistleblower. But when he really pointed the gun at the informer, the poet-like informer collapsed. It turned out that he was extremely afraid of death. John Hurt looked at him suspiciously and disgustedly, and said: You are so hypocritical. Then he shot and killed the poet. The young man wanted to intercede for the woman, but the old killer rudely shut him up with a gun. The bullet hit the young man's Ray-Ban mirror, through his eyes and head. That's it for Tim Roth. Like fate, John Hurt did not simply kill the woman, and was eventually caught and machine-gunned because of the woman's report. This movie is a little boring. But the New Wave has a very strong vibe, and there are a few shots that remind me of Rohmer. Later, when the director made "The Queen", he was basically a Hollywood director. I'm looking at the CC version. CC films are still guaranteed.
