The first half of the chase scene in the woods is quite thrilling, and there is less time to breathe. In the second half of the city chase scene, in contrast, the tension is much weaker and there are more urine spots.
People from all three parties can calculate that when the time is up, they will be ready for the lunch. They can get up and continue recklessly if they are not shot... Except for the heroine, when they fell off the cliff, they should have broken many fractures, and they were alive and kicking to the end. Not to mention that there are branches and leaves to buffer, she bumped into a big branch in the middle, see? Not to mention fractured ribs.
The biggest shortcoming of the whole film is that it has created a kidnapper who really intends to pay the money and the people with one hand, as long as the money is available, he will not tear up the ticket, which makes the heroic behavior of the protagonist group a bit ridiculous and redundant. Because if the protagonist group does not interfere in this matter, no innocent person will die in the whole film. Whether it is the protagonist group, the tourists in the festival, or the local residents who are forced to break into the door by the heroine and the little girl, they will not be killed inexplicably. And the two people who were killed by the kidnappers at the beginning of the film were two random murderers themselves, and it was not a pity to die.
If the protagonist group did not interfere, then the redemption transaction between the kidnappers and the Mafia would proceed normally. Even if someone died during the period, most of the kidnappers were captured by the employees of the Mafia, and the little girl was fine.
This makes the audience from God's perspective look very painful, and I don't know if the director did it on purpose.
Personally, I think it is better to leave only the murderer and the protagonist group, and make it into a pure forest survival battle. After all, the first half of the forest escape is very exciting; , the confrontation between the kidnappers and the mafia members in the tavern is actually okay, and the drama tension is OK.
Now the look and feel of this finished product is the first half of the climbing adventure + random murder + kidnapping + escape in the woods, and the second half of the black and black + city shootout + city escape. It's just a bit nondescript, but it is also accompanied by a title comparable to a hypocritical literary film...
