Eighteen years ago, the cold-faced judge played by Stallone was framed, and after being exiled, he ventured to sneak against Metro City. It tells the story of a lone hero violently arresting a murderer. Cannon, the director of "Special Police Judge", was notorious for being inflexible in the plot, but his cool future city art design and exciting action scenes still won the film a good box office. The 3D version of "Special Police Judge" does not follow the old path of Stallone. The story is set in a closed giant building in the apocalyptic world. The cold-faced judge has become a trapped beast in a cage and faces heavy hunting and killing by violent elements.
The tone of 3D "Special Police Judge" is dark and dark. I don't know if this is the reason why director Peter Travis activated the "Batman Prequel" stunt team. Although the idea of grafting heavy metal castles and slums is not new, it is in line with the popular logic of criminal paradise. In order to make up for the rigidity of the actor Karl Urban who never took off his helmet, director Peter Travis did not let Judge Jude fight alone this time, but equipped him with a rookie female judge who was facing an assessment. The beautiful girl Olivia Searle has three missions: she is a mutant who can perceive the thoughts of others, enriching the audience's sense of curiosity; she does not wear a helmet in the name of affecting telepathy, intending to win the attention of old men; as a rookie, she also Full of personal emotions, it makes up for the rigidity of the cold-faced judge Juede.
The whole 3D "Special Police Judge" is more like a CS clearance game. Faced with the layers of hunting in the airtight building, the two judges can only protect themselves and can't escape from life. Only by counterattacking the Jedi, breaking through the siege and suppressing the big BOSS "Mama", can they "clear the customs" escape. Therefore, 3D "Special Police Judge" is also a "Escape Room" game. Similar films include the Indonesian action film "The Raid," which tells the story of a SWAT team raiding a 30-story high-rise building, and the result is a turtle in the urn of drug dealers and gangsters. The two films are quite similar in terms of storyline and clearance type. The difference is that the latter does not have advanced weapons, and completely relies on bloody and realistic actions to "clear the level", and the level of violence is even greater.
Like many R-rated films, the 3D "SWAT Judge" storyline cannot be the first selling point, and the upgrade of technology provides a good reason for its remake. In the new version of "Special Police Judge", in addition to tomato juice and other violent scenes, the 3D effect is the biggest selling point of the whole film, and director Peter Travis obviously has a soft spot for the presentation of high-speed photography and super slow motion. The use of graphics, light and shadow, three-dimensional layers and digital special effects all have subtle personal preferences. With advanced high-speed photography, a plethora of super-slow motions provide the viewer's eye with a finer, more deconstructed image of the violence of tomato juice. In addition, the director seems to have a penchant for falling from high altitudes, and uses slow motion to turn the horrific fall scene into a beautiful visual enjoyment.
The 3D "Special Police Judge" also has "The Hobbit" high pressure, and "Les Miserables", which just won the Oscar for best supporting actress for Anne Hathaway, and "The Robbery Cloud" starring Nicolas Cage. Some imported films were blocked, and the tomato juice aesthetics of super slow motion became the only magic weapon for the film to stand out.
