After watching "Red Flame Battlefield", my first reaction was that this is a witty American-style suspense martial arts film. The writer of suspenseful martial arts novels first recommended Mr. Gu Long of the year. Frank in the film is simply the Chu Liuxiang of the United States.

Although this American hero has retired from the world for many years, his skills are still the same, and he has not changed his romantic temperament. The peaceful life was broken by a group of uninvited guests. The reason is that Frank knew too much. The American prince wanted to erase all stains before ascending the throne, but this stain was unfortunately involved by Frank and his friends. Therefore, of course, the opposite angle in the film must be divided and then quickly. The so-called martial arts, first of all, you must have excellent skills. Frank does not need to say this. The administrator of the CIA secret archives is his fan. He said that Frank was listed as RED by the new director after his retirement. Dangerous Person), adding that there is no agent as good as him anymore. In this way, Frank's unshakable status has been established. Secondly, there must be chivalrous spirit. At the beginning, Frank was still fighting against the dark forces for his own destiny. As the plot develops, he is not only fighting for himself, but for justice and the dark forces. This is not our traditional martial arts. What?

From the beginning, we knew that Frank was not so easy to sacrifice as the protagonist, but why there are killers approaching the door has always puzzled us. As the puzzles were solved one by one, it turned out that he was not the only one targeted, but also a comrade-in-arms Marvin; it turned out that more than one person was killed, and there was also a Chinese female reporter; it turned out that all this was related to It's about a mission they've been on; it turned out to be a conspiracy, a conspiracy about the vice president of the United States trying to get regular. As the investigation of Frank's team deepens, the truth gradually emerges in front of us. These suspense deeply attracted the audience, and why did they bring everyone together to pursue the truth.

As a Hollywood blockbuster, of course, Western elements cannot be missing. When another member of Frank's team, Qiao, appeared on the stage, he played a little clever in order to appreciate the big breasts and fat buttocks of the nursing home attendant. This is a more obscene scene in Chinese tradition. The American director's design and this Under the interpretation of the old drama bone, it successfully shows us the American humor. Similarly, after the Queen Killer Victoria was shot, his teammate Ma Wen did not have the lingering of Chinese movies. For the team's victory, he resolutely left Victoria on the battlefield and completed his next mission alone. These little details suggest to us that this is in the United States, not China.

In fact, the biggest attraction of this film, I think, is that the tense battle scenes are full of humorous atmosphere. When Frank fought with the new-generation agent Cooper at the CIA headquarters, he did not forget to inquire about the origin of the other party's teacher according to the rules of the world. When Cooper replied that my master was Kodaisky, Frank said with contempt: "He is me. apprentice. Makes people laugh out loud. In order to increase the humorous element of the film, the director also specially arranged Ma Wen, a Zhou Botong-style character. When he decided to return to the arena, he shouted: I'm going to dispatch a pig. When everyone wondered if the translation was wrong, they found that he really appeared with a very different pig. When he couldn't help but want to kill, he respectfully asked Captain Frank: Can I kill him now? This was originally a very common sentence, but after being repeated several times by Comrade Zhou Botong, it made people laugh. Even in the second half of the movie, when Queen Killer Victoria was left alone on the battlefield because she was shot, I guess everyone had to look forward to the last scene of her sacrifice, and the background music of the movie became so heavy that we still Deceived by the director, her teammate and lover Evan unexpectedly came to her side and said softly: Dear, maybe I can help you with something. All of a sudden, the film returned to the true nature of comedy.

For some reason, Chinese elements are popular in recent Hollywood films. In order to show that this film is a tribute to China and Chinese martial arts, the director also asked the protagonist Frank to say a broken Chinese: I lived in Wuhan a few years ago. Although this sentence cannot be heard in the translated film, if friends are interested in watching the original soundtrack, you will find that his Chinese is really lame, except that these three words can be heard clearly a few years ago, It is really difficult to distinguish the two words Wuhan. Of course, this episode is just a gag. In any case, "Red Flame Battlefield" is still a relatively successful American martial arts film.
