Weird Revenge

Sir Ben Kingsley, Morgan Freeman, two Oscar winners and Bruce Willis, and Josh Hartnett, one old and one young and two handsome guys, made this non-introduced, non-promotional, non-golden-schedule film attracted my attention. To be able to have such an actor plastic surgery during the unpopular period, the film must have its merits.
This is a story about carefully planned revenge, with a little black humor. There are too many obscure dialogues in the film, which makes my English proficiency very poor, and the subtitles of the translation can not translate the American black humor so well. This has become a major obstacle to the appreciation of the film. With lots of dialogue, the rhythm must be very slow. I was very impatient 70 minutes before watching the film. It's hard to say clearly about this style of film, which is a bit like Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" and a bit like Johnnie To's "Underworld". It is boring, and the method of storytelling is fragmented. However, the last 30 minutes of the film finally returned to Hollywood on the road, and the actor began to take revenge! As a result, all the mysteries were gradually revealed, and the foreshadowings made before were also explained through flashbacks one by one, and there was a hearty feeling. However, I don't like the ending of the movie, it's a happy ending again! This prevents the film from becoming a classic. It's not that the classics must be dead, but I think that if a person has waited 20 years for revenge, will he still have such a balanced mentality? The end must be a fight. The love of the hero and heroine is also a bit abrupt, this is a man's play.
Josh Hartnett, a handsome guy in "Pearl Harbor", has a bright future for him in this film by two old Oscar actor and actress. In fact, letting Morgan Freeman play the gang boss, the image is still almost, the look of the good guy can't be changed, Sir Ben Kingsley's big bald head is still about the same. However, the two movie kings really didn't have much performance. Bruce Willis, another veteran, has not counted him in the article written yesterday. He has made mistakes and mistakes. His performance in this film continues the style of "Sin City", which is cool. As for Lucy Liu, I really don't see any good for her, but Hollywood just accepts this type of actress.

    It should be said that this film still fits my heart. I was dissatisfied that Xiaoshuai sacrificed the only bright color in the whole play-Chinese mm (this mm is my favorite actor, especially here is not so cool, but very cheerful and lively), but at the end it made me very happy, the director used a little bit The length of the story tells the essence of the whole story of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", I like it.
