Shocking Thieves

I haven't written a film review for a long time, and it often feels like I don't use my brain to write a complete review.
The latest movies in 2013 are generally not watched alone at home. Such precious time needs to be given to movies that can stand the test of time. However, the taste has changed recently, and some movies with gorgeous scenes and simple and crude scenes have been found to make people nervous. Relax, forget it once you have watched it, so as not to let the emotions of those classic sad movies occupy your brain and make people disturbed to sleep.
At the beginning of the movie, there are 4 magicians, each showing a fast pace and attracting attention. The poker magic scene is gorgeous, the psychological magic is slightly vulgar, the water tank magic is amazing (ps: the girl is not good), and the last one is even more popular. It messed up (of course, it may be deliberate, in order to have a chance to steal the wallet). From the beginning of the combination, it is a bit far-fetched. If the girl is the lubricant of the two heroes, the magician, then the last magician is here to be the younger brother. Without him, the scene is more concise. It must be Cobble together an F4 (the American people are also very boring) The
first show of a group of 4 people, a big change of life, when the whole audience floats money, it gives people a sense of invigoration, and it starts to make people fascinated by the next more and more. Gorgeous magic performances and magic eyes behind the 4-member group, even believe in the existence of ancient magic or have produced high-tech support for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, realizing the guess of theft (misleading the name of the movie)
Rhodes (the policeman who played the most time ) The appearance of) has the feeling of an Indian (letting an Indian to be the honest person being played), and it is indeed a bit bitter, and it is accompanied by a French girl. This combination is really weird (full play kiss) There are not many hugs, and the director feels it inappropriate).
Thaddes (the person who pretends to expose magic, very aura) is very pretentious at first appearance, playing the role of a person who understands magic in the movie (it is true), helping the public to interpret how magic is performed, and mentioning the current magic market. The prosperity makes people feel chilling. As it said, people want to know the truth more than being fooled (reminiscent of Liu Qian's Spring Festival Gala in the past few years). The curiosity of the audience is always so serious. In fact, this is breaking the rules. When the big money gave out the check, Thaddes' refusal and the calmness he showed when he was humiliated behind (suck it) made me feel so calm at one time. He is definitely a good young man with ideals and pursuits (unfortunately it is fake). )
The transfer of the second magic trick, on the contrary, seemed uninteresting and not enough excitement in terms of shock and scene. Suddenly turning the gun head to attack his own boss, making people a little confused, there is no connection between the front and the back, is it another one? The boring joke of robbing the rich and helping the poor?
Afterwards, the emotional drama between Rhodes (our sheriff) and the French girl also made people feel a little greasy, slightly irrelevant to the main line, and made people have the urge to fast forward. The determination that the French girl said is also confusing. Emphasizing the existence of the Demon Eye, perhaps proposed by the Knights of the Apocalypse could not be better. There is also Thaddes's move to collect money and not work after the second game, which makes people wonder if he is the big boss?
The last magic show, the performance of the three people jumping off the roof and then changing into money, could not meet the expectations of the third show at all. The hasty ending made people feel uncomfortable, but the final framed up was disgusting. Thaddes as one The existence of the third party was framed and did not provoke the Four Horsemen at all.
Rhodes, who is the biggest boss on the stage, I just want to say that his acting skills are too good. Before, he played all kinds of stupid. There was no hatred in front of his enemies, and there was no foreshadowing. It was incomprehensible. What makes people even more complain about is that all these actions are actually for revenge. A magician was not insured for death due to props. After 30 years, he was avenged by such a son, and he became a sister. Isn’t it true? Have the laws and the people's police of the capital society fallen to the point where everyone has stepped on it? It is not as good as the Chinese martial arts, and it is more pleasant and enmity. I want you to write back some of it's evil (poor Thaddes, hey legitimate businessmen were so framed, I really can not tell a little jealous)
Summary: the starting point is good, but the story is not complete, I want to express There are too many emotions to the audience, it is difficult to understand the protagonist's motivation, the scene is still gorgeous, the last magic is a small disappointment, it is a little flat.
The last sentence: If you want to be a magician, be an actor first
