Too much creativity, not enough brilliance

I was very excited when I saw that this movie was released on Blu-ray. I have always liked movies with this theme, and it felt like "Madmax". The mood of the apocalypse and the survival laws of all kinds of the weak can not help but remind people of the famous Japanese comic "Fist of the Big Dipper" many years ago. Besides, this theme should also be remade to create new meanings. There are many plans to remake B-class classics from the 1980s this year. The original version of Long Ge looked good at the time, but according to the current audio-visual requirements There should be more room for improvement and play.
The idea of ​​​​locking the perspective of the movie to the work of a special policeman can be said to be very clever. After all, it is the best idea compared to low-cost production. The plot setting uses "Special Police Judge" as a gimmick, using the plot of "Raid" as a carrier, and the combination of old people and newcomers like "Training Day" to add suspense and drama to the plot is also very interesting, but the movie ends in It is a pity that these three levels have not been brought to the extreme.
At the beginning, there is a cutscene in a big environment. The shots and scenery are very sufficient, explaining this special era and environment, explaining the judge's occupation and law enforcement rules, and basically arousing the emotions of the audience. The production is not easy. However, when the protagonists entered the closed space of the building, the feeling of doom in front of them almost disappeared, and what followed was the protagonist's destructive and overwhelming law enforcement actions. There are too many wonderful passages, and there is not much performance on the details and curiosity of the judge's gimmick. It makes people feel that they are just entering two special police officers. The difference is only that the clothes and weapons are more high-tech than now, and there is a special It's just a follower of the function.
The movie's plot setting refers to the action hit "The Raid" in 2012, but fans of the movie "The Raid" like the action thrill of punching to the flesh and electric flint, but in Hollywood movies we It's hard to expect foreigners to be able to shoot like that, and with heavy costumes and props actors, it's even harder to play. The film is relatively simple in terms of action, just a monotonous gun battle scene, which is a bit disappointing for action fans.
In terms of the role setting of the combination of old and new and the opposition between good and evil, the choreographer is also very shallow. The leader of the mother's gang has nothing special to show her excellence in the whole incident. It feels like leading a group of rabble to occupy the mountains as kings. That's it. However, it is worth mentioning that the movie is remarkable in editing, soundtracking and special effects. The soundtracks of several shooting scenes are amazing, and the mix of rock and electronic music is very futuristic. There are also several slow-motion special effects scenes to reflect the criminal's perspective after taking drugs. It's very good, and it has a comic feel. Generally speaking, as an entertainment blockbuster, the movie is qualified, but unfortunately the movie is limited by the production cost. It is a pity that this subject cannot be brought to the extreme.

    No plot, pure violence. From head to tail, the pig's feet are paralyzed from head to tail. . .

    The Terminator brought a radar to play a sequel to [The Raid], and he was torn between three and a half stars and four stars.
