Good people panic, bad people calm

As an actor, the appearance is really very important. Without any background, when you are in the performance circle, the first role you often receive is based on your appearance. Any person who looks a little evil is easy to blame yourself. Playing a bad guy in his debut novel, this has created a relatively contradictory and common phenomenon. First, in this case, if you dislike the role and play it perfunctory, or you are not expected to play the bad guy at all, then the future The road to interpretation is bleak. The second is when you cherish this opportunity very much, do your homework very hard, and perform well in the film, then... I'm sorry, you will play the villain in the future. John Travolta just because he played the villain very well in the movie... . . .

The film is a simple plot, almost no special effects of the film. But the duel between the two heavyweights Denzel Washington and John Travolta kept the film from needing additional polish. The story tells that a robber, played by John Travolta, led a gang to hijack a subway train, and a subway dispatcher, played by Denzel Washington, happened to be on duty. While demanding a ransom of 10 million, the murderous robber also asked to speak only to the dispatcher on duty and not to the police negotiator. From the beginning to the end of the film, the robbers have always taken the lead. John Travolta can be regarded as one of the most professional bad guys in Hollywood. He is really familiar with playing the negative role. The kind of crazy act of calm and calm at the time is wonderful. And Denzel Washington played a small man this time, but in the end he turned the scale of victory back to the side of justice, and it was this skilled little man who let the police regain control of the initiative. The direct dialogue between the two powerful movie stars, the fierce collision of Mars runs through the film throughout.

Due to the wonderful performance of the two and the careful arrangement of the director, the plot of the film is tense to the point of suffocation, but behind the wonderful confrontation between the two, Denzel Washington in my eyes is old, and he has re-expanded a new way of play and tried With a new image, it is indeed a very good choice to play some minor characters and stop working hard in action movies. Although the acting is okay, it is still a pity that he has no chance to show his talents again. Hope to have the opportunity to see his action films.

    I finally finished watching the film after so long. DW acted very cute and silly, JT was much more bland in comparison, and there was no tension or expectation after the plot, except for just using the next city, nothing Great scene!

    After the second brush, I feel that the story is too superficial. The theme is about the black government, but it is not convincing in terms of characterization. The typical Hollywood narrative stops abruptly where it can be deepened. The control of the scene is more mature than before, and the second time is smoother than the first time.
