This year's action movies headed by [Killers] are dead and ugly, and many people even begin to wonder whether [Agent Shao Te] will continue this doom. Looking at the action scenes in the trailer, I have always suspected that this will be a "Mrs. Smith" without Mr. Smith, or another [Wanted Order] that is not juggling, and it is still not sexy enough with clothes and hairstyles. The ridiculous Angelina Jolie. In fact, this movie is great. This is a bloody female action hero movie. Angelina Jolie brings a completely different screen image to audiences who are familiar with her. It is no longer sexy and even embarrassing. , A humane female agent, apart from being an agent, she is more like a man's wife. I believe this will be another Bonn, and the sequel is also a certainty. The most important significance of this film should be the birth of a female agent film series called Evelyn Schout.

[Agent Shao Te] is an action movie that is neither rush nor slow. It does its job very well. All the action scenes are built on the powerful foundation of emotion. Actions are often violent and hot. If the logic is messed up, it will still be tragedy. The emotions that can resonate most with the audience are the only thing the movie captures. In addition to the progress of the story, the director has not forgotten to spend time on the emotional life of Shao Te and her husband, to highlight the deep feelings of some couples. Although there are only three flashback scenes from love at first sight, from proposal to marriage, the degree of emotional delicateness is not comparable to that of literary films. But for action movies, this kind of scenes that resonate the emotions that the characters and the audience cultivate are hard to come by. With emotions foreshadowing, all action scenes revolve around emotions, and everything is reasonable and reasonable.

This time Angelina Jolie’s screen image is very different from the previous ones. Although she is still able to play like that, this time she is definitely the most embarrassed on the screen. Although Julie is already the mother of a group of children, her super stamina and stamina is definitely a unique action actress in Hollywood. Her skills are believed to be familiar to everyone, even Julie's Mira Joe who intends to imitate Julie. Lowovich can only feel that it is difficult to learn. In fact, Julie is not only embarrassed this time, even her previous sexy signs are gone. The temptation is gone, the sex appeal is gone, this can be reflected in the clothes and hairstyle. Seeing Julie's hair style, neither loli nor royal sister, especially Julie's masculine outfit at the end of the film, people should be surprised at first glance. The large amounts of black and gold on the clothes are out of fashion and can be said to be ridiculous. But all the more people's attention is shifted to Julie's acting. The sexy is no longer, but the acting is more vivid. This is a very acting female action hero, for a moment you even see Julie's upper body like [Nikita].

As an action movie, it is necessary for the action scene to be exciting, but it is far from exciting, and more importantly, it must have a sense of freshness. [Agent Shao Te] The action scene is the hottest set of hard violence, shaky portable photography and sharp editing in Bonn. This film is even worse. In fact, the action scenes of [Agent Shao Te] are not so popular, they are more for the plot. After Shao Te performed soft and hard actions on a Russian spy, the spy not only presented Russia's secret plan to assassinate the president, but also pointed out that Shao Te was the former Soviet undercover agent who carried out this plan. Shao, who understands that the description is getting darker and darker, decides to flee, and his husband is also held hostage by an unknown organization. Shao, who is hunted down by two colleagues, has to rescue his husband. During the escape, Shao Te even began to doubt his identity. Julie performed barefoot running in a number of action scenes and was chased by cars on the road; the heavy locomotive when riding on the [Tomb Raider] shuttled between the cars; The roof of the driving vehicle jumps; and the heroic girl-looking Julie fights the real behind-the-scenes murderer Winter (Leif Schleiber). The action scenes of this film are not much more popular than the Bonn series, but they are equally exciting.

【Agent Shao Te】has the mode of a traditional action movie, wrapped in a coat of political thriller and popular action elements, and more importantly, Julie's acting skills are always flashing. Julie is amazing. She always makes her mark on her movies. It turns out that Julie is still popular. I really can't think of any other female star in Hollywood besides Julie who can be called a movie by one person. At the end of this episode, Julie jumped from the plane into the sea and climbed ashore in embarrassment and shuttled among the woods. I believe this female agent will continue to bring us good scenes in the next sequel, and hopefully create another similar The myth of Bonn.
