I can't remember how many times I watched it, the fourth or fifth time, but it doesn't matter, because in another year or two, I feel like I will replay it again. The reason for each replay is basically the same, because the first time I watched it, I was amazed by some scenes, the scene of reversing the car and facing the machine gun, the scene of the first time we cooperated to make a Big Mac, the one who finally conspired to get out of prison. The scene, the first time I saw it, I was amazed. Now every time I watch it, I will pay attention to these scenes. Although I gradually found some shortcomings, such as insufficient details of the shots, and the editing is not intuitive and smooth, etc., this does not affect my admiration for it. After all, it is the first time I know the original plot. It can be designed so unexpectedly. The rusty mask symbolizes the survival wisdom and superb driving skills precipitated in the prison life. It has become a symbol, representing the first place, representing that everyone wants to win him. Except for the truth behind the mask after a few people, most people's cognition of the mask is more mysterious, and for those desperate drivers who are competing in the same field, the mask is a challenge, a kind of hatred, and release may not be Defeating Mask's deepest drive, but winning him and proving himself stronger. The freedom these prisoners want is not the sunshine and the beach outside the prison, but the life-and-death race and machine gun shooting in the state of motorsports. That state may be more enjoyable than their own personal freedom, so this kind of racing is fierce. Yes, it is about life and death, which is why the ratings are constantly rising and breaking through, because it is really exciting.

The mysterious mask, the rusted steel plate, the strafe-fired machine gun, the roaring engine, and the graceful figure, these elements are subtly blended together, all of which make people watch the adrenaline soaring.

The film ends on a sunny afternoon, and three friends get together again, two of whom have become car repair partners.

    Simple and rude, beautiful women, tough cars, strong men, speedy, machine guns, death games, popcorn movies, it's okay, but there are stories without characters, scenes without imagination, and actions that are not strong enough, so watch more It would be beneficial to go through Mad Max: Fury Road.

    R-rated industrial violence aesthetics, smooth narration, cool camera shots, prison setting, Jason Statham's full body and deep accent, gay association (also machine gun joe), irony in the era of entertainment (life), the whole film is very manly, but Don't get bored.
