Tony Scott's legacy

I really didn't expect this to be Tony Scott's posthumous work. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer "main theme" movies. Although it is an uncompromising Hollywood commercial blockbuster, the director's consistent style is still clearly visible. The sharp editing and the constant flashbacks and interspersed plots can easily make the audience immerse in the intense and exciting plot. The rhythm is particularly tight, and some passages are even breathless, such as the thrilling scene where the hero struggles to connect the two carriages at the end. Like all disaster/rescue films, there's always a happy, happy ending at the last minute. It doesn't seem like an enticing suspense, even though it's based on real events. In such a fast-moving plot, flat character creation is inevitable, but allowing the audience to experience such a thrilling experience within an hour and a half is definitely worth the ticket price, and I believe the director is also very gratified by the spirit of the sky.

    Tony Scott's new work "Unmanned Driving Brake Failure Train Crashes Between Heaven and Earth", the Taiwanese translation "Can't Stop", really awesome! Hong Kong's translation of "Shen Po Tianjie" is similar to coquettish, while the mainland version is called "Dangerous Situation Hour", which is seriously lacking in recognition. The movie is unexpectedly good-looking. It is considered the most worthwhile movie in theaters in the near future. It can be called thrilling... Watching such a movie can give you a new appreciation of all the advantages of Hollywood genre movies.
