It sucks, I suggest you don’t watch it, especially action movie fans

I finally couldn’t help but stop half of
it and I only had one question.
Those who commented on this film in the short review were “simple and rude, clean, cool, and very enjoyable. The action design is really awesome, so jb handsome” and so on. Friends, are you serious? What do you guys think? Haven't you seen any other action movies? This is so cool? Or is it because you are all fans of Keanu Reeves?

Let me just talk about my feelings, which is not good at all. I would rather watch "Uncle" again, and friends who like action movies should not hold on to expectations.

I am not a professional, but I have watched many movies of this type. This type of film has been filmed by so many directors for so long and so many films, and the high point of the audience is constantly being improved, and the high point of this film is definitely very, very low. Friends who are so high by this film, I can't understand why your standards are so low?

In this type of movie, the specific action design gradually becomes unimportant at the end. What is really important is the editing of the action scenes. The smooth, fast and fierce but just right shot switching is called clean and neat. The highly acclaimed "Hurricane Rescue" and "The Bourne Divine" is so outstanding, and this film is obviously much weaker than them in this respect, just like a normal mediocre action film.

There are no highlights in the editing, so let's look at the basic action design. My personal feeling is these key words: soft, stiff, cliché, fake. Looking at it as a whole, it seems to be quite consistent, but from the details, you will find the words I said.
I think the protagonist is not originally an action movie star, so he should do some professional training before shooting, just like Tom Hardy shooting warriors, so that the film appears more real and professional in action scenes. Otherwise, just like in the movie, you can only rely on the appearance, suits, and cannon fodder to be headshot to play handsome.
Fighting with guns, fighting in close quarters, dodge and rush, and pretend to be handsome. These are the routines that have been seen several times, accompanied by action scenes with no highlights, plus the amateur skills and rehearsal traces that the protagonist sometimes shows. It's really unbearable to watch the dragons line up to die.
What impressed me was the protagonist's slightly fat belly, the strange design of firing another shot in the head after the headshot, and the sticky fight with the female assassin in the hotel.

And what's the most interesting thing, like this film, if the protagonist is disappointed in the action, the more you set off the protagonist from the side, the more people want to laugh. At the beginning, the gang boss only uses a pencil to tell the protagonist to his son. This section of the legend of killing three people originally felt that the effect was not good (what's so amazing), but when I think about it after seeing the fight, I feel even more naive.

In short, my personal feeling is that this is a cliché, mediocre, and clumsy repetitive action film. The passion for directing action films stays in the last era.

It is not recommended for everyone to watch.
