The character design is very unique and the subject matter narrative is general

Yesterday I went to the cinema to watch the movie. Today I will talk about my thoughts after watching the movie.
This film is adapted from a novel, and the investment is relatively small, only 60 million US dollars. You can take a break.
Don't underestimate investment. While Hollywood blockbusters give you sensory excitement, have you ever thought about what you see in such blockbusters? What do you want to tell us? As a result, after every dazzling and dazzling stimulus, I went deep into it, but found that I was fighting in a fight at all, and then I didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, this film is different, and the characters in the plot have been improved. The opening sniper close-up explained the cause of the entire film. Although there is no dialogue, the tension and suspense makes people have to look further.
After the shooting, the suspect brought out the protagonist in our film while being interrogated. He was looking for a man named Jack Recher. So what kind of character is this?
When the two investigators talked about this man, they learned from the side that the protagonist of the film is different from the heroes we know in the past. What is admirable is not only his brilliant and amazing past, but also that this man lives in the modern age. It is a ghost. A person living in the digital age has no credit card, no mobile phone, no e-mail box, and no address. You can't find him unless he lets you find it. What such a person looks like is full of mystery, and it makes people more and more to find out.
The film gives us such a point of view that the laws of this world are determined by people. It is precisely because people determine that there will be imperfections, and there will be unclear injustices like in the film. There are legal restrictions, so we need characters like Jack to exist in this world. Because Jack doesn't care about the evidence, he only cares about what is correct. He is a ranger with nothing, so he can defeat the bad guys without any scruples. This kind of film subject matter. It reminds me of the character played by Liu Ye in the domestic film "Tough Guy", who fights against social injustices, and the heroes who walked the rivers and lakes in ancient times.
One of the highlights in the film is that the protagonist's unique skill is close-range combat, which also conforms to the characteristics of the original book. Now the blockbuster movies are bad, and many movies use various high-tech weapons and equipment, and I'm tired of watching them. On the contrary, the ingenious use of hands and elbows as primitive weapons to fight with people at close range makes people's eyes brighter and highlights the personality of the ranger.
The second aspect of the film is that Jack finally hits the villain black policeman who is hiding behind the kidnapped female lawyer.
The car chasing scene is relatively less exciting than imagined, but I still admire the fact that Tom can not stand in for him and go to the car chasing battle in person. It is really not easy for the actors to do this.
The setting of the big villain in the film has both bright spots and shortcomings. The bright spot is that the big villain behind the scenes tells how he ate multiple fingers of his left and right hands in order to survive. It is not easy, which fully reflects the viciousness and cruelty, and at the same time let his men choose to eat themselves. The scene of the finger being alive or being shot is also eye-catching. But at the end, the stamina was insufficient, too hasty, and Jack was shot in the head with a gun to death. Perhaps it might be more interesting to fight each other for a while.
Of course, the shooting angle of the film is of course the kind of bad guys who have a relationship with the heroes will not end well. The ending can basically be guessed. The whole film narrative is a bit old and lacks new ideas, but the in-depth portrayal of the characters makes up for it. This is not enough.

    6 points. The experience of watching the film is as follows: "Oh!? Random killings? Hmm, interesting~ Oh! What a careful detective~, ah? The prisoner was caught so quickly? Haha, Lao Tang finally appeared on the scene." Then. . . There's no after that. . . The big boss who showed his face in less than 40 minutes, and the few action scenes, made people drowsy, really not like a crime drama in the new era. . It's a pity that the opening is a good idea.

Jack Reacher quotes

  • [Helen answers her phone while her father and Emerson are in the room]

    Helen: This is Helen.

    Jack Reacher: [on the other end] I'm guessing the police are there?

    Helen: [quietly angry] Yep.

    Jack Reacher: By your response, I'm guessing I have about 30 seconds before you hand them the phone.

    Helen: If that.

    Jack Reacher: If you believe someone could frame Barr, you have to believe they could do the same to me.

    Helen: I suppose that's possible.

    Jack Reacher: She was a sweet kid, Helen. And they killed her because of me. They want me to run. But I won't. I'm gonna finish this.

    Helen: No, that's not a good idea.

    Jack Reacher: Listen, two things. One, I... I stole your car.

    [Helen makes a "Seriously?" face]

    Jack Reacher: If you want to end this, just hang up the phone and report it missing. And I'll understand.

    Helen: And anything else?

    Jack Reacher: I thought I'd be pushing it if I mentioned this earlier. Now I guess all bets are off. You need to watch what you say to Emerson and your father. I think one of them might be in on it.

    [Emerson and Helen's father both now realize Helen's been on the phone for a while]

    Helen: [trying to end the call] All right. Thanks for calling. I have to go.

    Jack Reacher: Wait. I've been followed from day one. Only three people knew I was here. Emerson, your father and you. You need to ask yourself, "Who has the most to lose if we clear Barr?" Who tried to warn you off me? Of course, I could be wrong. If you think I am, just hand over the phone. There's no sense in getting any deeper.

  • [Reacher arrives at the gun range that Barr and Jeb would use and walks in. He looks at the targets hung up on the wall with almost precision accuracy]

    Jack Reacher: [to the man behind the counter] You got some fine shooters here.

    Cash: Fine as frog's hair. Rarer, too. Because most of them fellas out there can't shoot worth a damn. You ask them to put three rounds in the black, well... they'll suck it.

    Jack Reacher: I'm looking for the owner.

    Cash: That'd be me. Martin Cash.

    Jack Reacher: [sticks his hand out to shake] Aaron Ward.

    Cash: What can I do for you, Mr. Ward?

    [stops, not sure he's heard correctly]

    Cash: Ward?

    Jack Reacher: Yeah, I'm looking for a friend of mine. We served in Iraq. The guy just dropped off the grid, you know?

    Cash: It happens. Yep.

    Jack Reacher: Yeah. Anyway, he was a shooter. Last I heard, he lived around here somewhere and I...

    Cash: When did he get out of the Army?

    Jack Reacher: [smiles] Well, I didn't say the Army.

    Cash: Well, you said you served with him. You're no jarhead. Man on a flying horse could see that.

    Jack Reacher: Well, my father was in the Corps, if that helps.

    Cash: Well, that makes you half-human anyway. Your friend got a name?

    Jack Reacher: James Barr.

    Cash: James Barr.

    [feigns innocence]

    Cash: Never heard of him.

    Jack Reacher: I think you have. I think you've been dreading the moment some cop comes in here asking after him. Because it's for sure some soccer mom around here is more worried about your range than the swimming pool in her backyard or the drain cleaner under her sink. Wouldn't matter to her if Barr did his killings 100 miles away, only that he came here to rehearse. She'd have a case to shut you down and nothing better to do.

    Cash: What do you want?

    Jack Reacher: I want to know who Barr's friends were.

    [in response, Cash finishes assembling a weapon pointedly]

    Cash: [sternly] Those boys out there, they're mighty touchy when it comes to their Constitutional rights. Suppose I tell them a cop is in here asking after my members?

    Jack Reacher: I'm not a cop.

    Cash: What are you?

    Jack Reacher: I work for Barr's attorney. We have reason to believe he's innocent.

    Cash: The hell you say.

    Jack Reacher: Be that as it may, I'm the only one who's bothered to track him this far. You help me out and I'll be in your debt.

    Cash: And if I don't?

    Jack Reacher: [heading towards the door] Maybe you can coach soccer.

    Cash: You put three in the center and maybe we'll talk.

    Jack Reacher: Can I have a few to warm up?

    [in addition to the three bullets he's already pulled out, Cash adds one single bullet - Reacher's sole mulligan]
