Forget after watching series

"Life and Death Speed" personal viewing essays, I think it is too ridiculous for non-serious film reviews. Before watching this movie, I had a fantasy about how to drive on the road at a fast average speed. Once I turned on the car from Beijing. Home, more than 1,000 kilometers, before the departure, the boss told us that it’s good if you can drive at an average speed of 70 or 80 along the way. I thought how could it be possible at the time. Motorcycles can be up to 100 yards casually, and then I looked at the navigation , As expected, it’s impossible because the road conditions are really too complicated. Once you decelerate, the average speed will be lowered, and 50 miles, I converted it to about 80 kilometers per hour, combined with my usual driving experience, this speed is actually Soon, such a big car, such a fast speed, remain unchanged for such a long time, but also need to make sharp turns, speed, and crash. Not only courage but also luck is required. All of this can only happen in the movie. Let's talk about the movie. Let me play, except for Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the other policemen seem to be transparent people, including the passengers in the car, the villains have no sense of existence, and I have to wonder when is it all? There are also emotional scenes (Hollywood can never get around love), which is full of loopholes. There are only two places in the film that can’t be removed. One is that Levi’s uses a small car to slide under the car to dismantle the bomb, a bit of Jackie Chan action movie desperate taste. The other thing is of course Levi’s face value (covering his face and running away)~ In addition, Levi’s received a call from the villain saying that he had blown up his friends, so when he felt upset, it was reasonable, but the performance might be too exaggerated. It was purely incompetent and furious, and he was too unprofessional, and he had to be comforted by a car, hahaha, and the villain's posture on the phone. Isn't it really tired? Because Mao wants to go around to the left ear to answer the phone, isn't it the same on the right? The bewildering behavior highlighted the disability of the left hand. Finally, the car crashed into the plane, and the insurance company cried, and then went to the subway and beat each other with detonators. How could it be done? Ha, Interesting... The above are just small complaints, not to mention complaints. After all, the movie in 1994 (the era when there was a lot of large films), especially the last shot of the train flying out of the track and rushing into the street, it is really very It's like a model, so everything can't be seen from today's perspective. The creativity is good, but there is no soul. In this regard, I only serve Hong Kong movies around the 90s~

    If I watched it many years ago, I would be very moved, I think this is a good movie. Now I'm tired of seeing Keanu Reeves chasing the bus number 2525. Why didn't he call the headquarters and inform him of the terrorist attack? After catching up with the bus, the driver didn't stop or open the door. Why didn't he take out his ID or pistol?

    Tension and excitement, even more than Jackie Chan.

    Jack: You're the expert, I just work here.

    Harry Temple: Looks pretty solid.

    Harry Temple: I don't recognize the work, but he's pro.

    [checks watch]

    Harry Temple: Oh, he's cutting it close.

    Jack: I don't like it.

    Harry Temple: What's to like? Mac said we hold, so we hold.

    [Jack begins looking around; Harry thinks]

    Harry Temple: Alright, pop quiz. Airport, gunman with a hostage. He's using her for cover. He's almost to a plane. You're one hundred feet away.

    [Jack doesn't respond]

    Harry Temple: Jack?

    Jack: Shoot the hostage.

    Harry Temple: What?

    Jack: Take her out of the equation. Go for the good wound and he can't get to the plane with her. Clear shot.

    Harry Temple: You're deeply nuts, you know that? "Shoot the hostage."

    [chuckles]

    Jack: Harry, this is wrong. He's gonna blow it anyway.

    Harry Temple: Why?

    Jack: I don't know, gut feeling.

    Harry Temple: Yeah, well, right now Mac outranks your gut. So we sit.

    Jack: Why's he do that? He's losing his three million.

    Harry Temple: I don't know maybe he couldn't hold his wad long enough. It's a common problem among middle-aged men. So I'm told.

    Jack: [gets up; realizing] He's here.

    Harry Temple: He could have blown that thing from Pacoima!

    Jack: No, he knew we were up to something. He's close by.

    Harry Temple: He's not gonna corner himself in a building. We evacuated anyways.

    Harry Temple: Alright. He'd wanna be here but he'd wanna stay mobile. Right?

    [Jack nods]

    Harry Temple: The elevators.

    Jack: The passenger cars were stopped. They checked em out.

    Harry Temple: What about the freight elevators?
