Can it be any cooler?

The plot is so hopeless that I am not interested in saying it; the plot is also a little rough. In fact, the old-fashioned plots have always been filmed, and there are many outstanding works. As long as the plots are well designed and the action scenes are hot and exciting, although they can't turn a stone into gold, they can also win the limelight for a while. It's just that for this film, these few opportunities to pull the work back from the quagmire of mediocrity and even failure were also screwed up by the director. Several scenes and plots in the film that could have been the finishing touch and earned the film some reputation were too sloppy and crude to attract the audience at all.
However, I still tried very hard to find two points of success from this failure. The first is the beautiful scenery. To be honest, I don't know where the film was shot, but I know it must be very beautiful. The mountains are verdant, the streams are gurgling, and the forest is quiet and pleasant. Nature is sometimes a tolerant and kind teacher. When watching her immature and clumsy students make a mess of the painting, she smiled kindly, and then made a few simple corrections on it herself, just to show this failed painting. When you go out, don't let your lover lose face.
The second is the actors -- John Cusack and Morgan Freeman, two actors I admire a lot. To be honest, appearing in such a movie is a waste of their talents, I feel sorry for them, and I am grateful for this movie, at least it has one more reason to watch it.
I've seen two John Cusack movies - "Runaway Jury" and "Deadly ID", and I love them both. It just redeems my loneliness. I have never watched his better films, and I also feel that he is always tepid, as is the case with people and dramas.
In fact, the director missed one chance after another to save the film. But he should have one, and the easiest opportunity to seize, to save the film, and this opportunity is the excellent Morgan Freeman. There is no fascinating plot, no exciting scene design, it doesn't matter, there is a character that can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And such a request, Morgan Freeman is absolutely competent, he is also the kind of man who gets more handsome as he gets older.
At the end of the movie, Mr. Mo turns around and disappears outside the shop after warning the conspiratorial government official in the coffee shop not to disturb the Lei and his son, which is really cool. This should be a reminder to the director, as long as he can do his best to shape the "cool" spirit of Mo Lao in the movie, be cool, be cool. Even if the film fails as a whole, it can leave the audience with a cool character image. It's a pity that the director didn't do this. The plot in front of the movie was too weak, so that the last glimpse was a bit too abrupt, and it didn't help the whole movie.
In the movie, Mr. Mo's special action had an accident because he had a car accident in the movie. Coincidentally, in reality, I heard that Mr. Mo also suffered a car accident not long ago. I wonder if he remembered the plot of this movie at that time. It is said that Mr. Mo has already turned the corner, and I wish Mr. Mo a speedy recovery. Actors like him, who are more valuable as they get older, should really present a few more classic works to the audience.
