The name of this movie is very interesting. "RED" is actually an abbreviation of three English letters, namely "Retired", "Extremely" and "Dangerous". The Chinese combined translation is "retired super dangerous person". It is mentioned in the play that those who have worked in the CIA will be classified as "RED" when they get old and retire. For the institutions they served before, these old guys must not be fuel-efficient lamps, possessing skills that ordinary people do not have, and mastering information that ordinary people do not know. They will either continue to work for the original agency secretly, or they will become the enemy of the original agency or a scapegoat. Therefore, in all the movies we have seen about agents on the screen, the fate of agents has always been so tragic. The plot of "Red Flame Battlefield" can be roughly summed up as the story of a group of old agents who became the target of silence. This film is based on the comics of the same name owned by DC Comics. Unlike those superhero comics that are flying all over the sky, the comic tension of this film is more like a regular crime action movie from the perspective of the plot. The advantage is that once there is a comic composition first, the film has an excellent reference point in terms of photography. For example, at the beginning, Bruce Willis lived alone in a house, but he was targeted by the intruder. Lao Bu single-handedly took out the attackers. The fast and slow mirrors are used to highlight the action. He Lidao, it is conceivable that these cool action scenes must have copied the style of the original comics in some places. In this year's comedy and action movies, this film can be called a work that has something to say. Judging from the performances of several old actors, it completely propped up the scene. Bruce Willis, no matter how old he is, is still a tough guy at that stop; Morgan Freeman is a leader of the organization wherever he goes; John Malkovich, an old showman, likes this kind of stuff. The funny characters with mental problems; the most innovative is the personal performance of Queen Helen Mirren, this time Helen has completely become a warm little pepper full of youthful joy, and Brian Mirren, who plays Ivan in the film, is completely transformed. Cox also staged a sunset love. In the hail of bullets, the two old guys always kissed me and I don't forget the old love. The joy of the film is presented through the superb performances of these old actors. However, Bruce Willis is still the leading character of the film, and most of the scenes revolve around him and his tied girlfriend. Lao Bu said that it is really exciting to wait until he finishes performing "Die Hard 6" before preparing to rest. The expression of this film is very relaxed and direct. Basically, it can be regarded as a one-line story. It was first brought out by Bruce Willis, and then joined by a man who made the old cloth frown. The lovely sister who went there, the two of them went to the end of the world together; in order to find out who was behind the scenes, they followed the map all the way. Everywhere they went, there would be another starring role. Lao Bu started a team battle from a lone hero, the case became bigger and bigger, and the conspiracy became more and more horrifying. This road comes first, travels south and north, the future is uncertain, and there are chasing troops later, and every bridge section has a lot of surprises to catch people's attention. Several leading actors in the film have distinct roles, and no one grabbed the other's play. Everyone completed their most popular part in their due diligence. At the end of the film, there was a somewhat unexpected ending. In this year's relatively mild North America In the movie market, such an A-level work that combines comedy, special agents, action, comics, satire and other elements should be placed in the summer file to challenge those pseudo-blockbusters that are not useful. Although the film is based on a comedy routine, it is more rigorous in the design of specific details. For example, in the end, they used their joint efforts to capture the vice president, which can be said to demonstrate the unique intelligence and unique timing measurement ability of these agents. The corresponding senior agent of the CIA in the United States, that is, the dedicated young agent William Cooper, although he is not so outstanding against the background of several old actors, the image of this character is very critical. This character is a combination of loyalty and competence, courage and family affection, and the most prominent place also shows a clear ability to judge position. From a certain level, this character is exactly the reappearance of the old agents when they were young. In addition, the film also mentioned the Strategic Secret Service. If I read it correctly, although the Secret Service that protects the president is not better than a few old agents, it is not all useless. In general, "Red Flame Battlefield" uses the superb performances of several veteran actors to give the film a good story, and the agents also have many unexpected details in the process of finding the black hand behind the scenes; , mixed with some lively action scenes with some punches to the flesh, clean and neat and never sloppy; in addition, in the process of intense and exciting fighting, supplemented by a little tacit sense of humor, calm and unbearable. It is the most beautiful but the red sunset, warm, calm and heroic. The most popular part of the film has been completed. At the end of the film, there is a somewhat unexpected ending.

Imagine if your retirement life is as follows: living with your family, getting up every morning to exercise or playing poker with old friends, worrying about the situation of the next generation from time to time; or living alone, living a quiet and peaceful life, Waiting for the passing of old age. I believe that more than 95% of retirees in this world live like this. After all, this has almost become the inherent life rhythm of this age group. Although there has never been an established law or treaty, it has long been agreed upon. Moses, who lives single in "RED", is also such a retired old gentleman. The age factor has made him no longer able to sleep in, occasionally go out for a walk, and occasionally use the phone to 'harass' Sarah, the service worker in charge of social security work. . Everything in life seems so ordinary that the rhythm of the film's opening makes many people mistakenly think that this is an authentic 'sunset red' literary version! But after all, this is a movie that belongs to Bruce Willis with the halo of the protagonist. Those eyes that are always half-squinted but full of resolute eyes must not be an 'idle' person with a comfortable life. Sure enough, the whole movie changes completely when a group of well-equipped killer squads suddenly start a night raid on it. Moses, who was defined by the CIA with the highest level 'RED' among retired agents, was originally a capable agent. By the time he was enjoying his old age, he was tired of the bullet-riddled life and was ready to live an ordinary life. She even had feelings for a 'talker' Sarah who she had never met. So the cliché stories of those people in the rivers and lakes retreating into the mountains and forests and not asking about the world are once again shown in front of us. What's more bloody than the background of this story must be that this kind of retirement will bring about a new bloody storm! For American audiences who are accustomed to various conspiracy theories and 'black' federal privileged institutions, "Red Flame Battlefield" once again played the story of an old-fashioned government loyal falcon dog who was betrayed by his master, leading to a confrontation. Those of us who are accustomed to watching the "Bourne Bound" series, and even "Sniper of Life and Death", which describe the government's shady story in a more prolific way, have long been familiar with such topics! Therefore, the chances of this film adapted from the DC comic book of the same name are not very good! And it is not easy to attract more and more discerning audiences to pay for the configuration of the cast of grandfather and grandmother! But it was these immortal 'old guys' on the screen who unexpectedly used solid performances and aura to prop up an action movie with a very loose rhythm, and made us fans of the younger generation impress the audience with admiration! The old actors and their 'old characters' in "Red Flame Battlefield" themselves are an important part of the film, maybe they are no longer young, domineering or agile. But the accumulation of experience and battles The body is perfectly combined, surpassing the age limit and completely suppressing many younger generations! John Malkovich's various crazy performances in the movie, the wonderful aura of 'Queen' Helen Mirren, and the heartwarming smile of old actor Morgan Freeman have completely become more than bullets. Quick, sharper weapons! ! Coupled with Willis's always cool and stubborn style, all the positive characters in the whole film are full of vigor and vitality! It almost makes us forget the generation gap between them and their age, as well as the resistance of some actors' past temperament and hardcore action movie style. Although the first third of the entire film is loosely 'travelling', the middle part is reluctant to play the hardcore action spy war movie, only the last third has the tension and rhythm that genre films should have! This kind of feeling of looseness and tightness, and tightness with rigidity, coincides with the characters in the movie of the retired old agents who were born in a stubble stubble and who are old and 'paying off debts'. Who said that self-redemption can't be accomplished in ridicule? ! Who says old age can't control violence with skill? ! It is precisely because of the perfect fit of the above actors and characters, coupled with the balance of the film's story and characters, that "Red Flame Battlefield" is more like a clever movie although the content is cliché. There is power in wisdom! Compared with "The Expendables", which was also released in 2010, the more professional action star lineup and the same old 'scenery' star mode, but because of the large collection of 1980s action movies that had no progress in the script, it did not create a new one. The slightest novelty and pace! Completely reduced to a tool for lovers to recall the past years. Of course there are Stallone's own intentions and considerations here, but compared with "Red Flame Battlefield", which is also a 'playing' veteran, "The Expendables" really lacks story highlights and wisdom. In fact, on closer inspection, this film also has various unreasonable plot settings and the producer's scale of ignoring the audience's experience. But this won't let us deny that "Red Flame Battlefield" is an excellent and light-hearted action film masterpiece. In the era of blockbuster films full of overuse of special effects and extravagance of big scenes, this kind of economical package movie of this kind of fresh and concise 'small bucket' popcorn and cola is even more impressive! The combination of raw seafood and delicacies (various big productions and their sequels) is certainly appetizing, but the long-term boredom is enough to make the audience feel bloated and unbearable. "Red Flame Battlefield" is more like a timely digestive aid, which effectively adjusts our poor 'digestive system' so that we can move forward better in the future! This may also be the embodiment of the real value of the 'veterans' in reality. All kinds of crazy performances in the movie, the wonderful aura of 'Queen' Helen Mirren, and the heartwarming smile of old actor Morgan Freeman have completely become weapons that are faster than bullets and sharper than blades. ! !

On the huge stage in the movie world, the alternation of old and new is being staged all the time. The tireless old actors will one day retire from the stage of history and enjoy family happiness behind the screen. Nowadays, more and more works with the farewell label are showing the tip of their iceberg one by one. Naturally, the vast majority of these works, judged on the merits of the film itself, are cliché, mediocre, and seem to be quickly forgotten. But from another level, what the audience is willing to appreciate is no longer just a frame of light and shadow, but a complex. A kind of old-fashioned, ambitious, never surrender to old age, positive and optimistic attitude towards life. No matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, in front of them, it is empty and indifferent like dust.

RED quotes

  • Joe Matheson: We're gettin' the band back together.

  • [Frank calls Cooper on the phone; Cooper is told to stall him while the call is traced]

    Frank Moses: Here's the thing, Cooper. With age... comes a certain perspective. I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a time when I was exactly like you. Blind ambition. Misplaced trust.

    William Cooper: Why are you telling me this?

    Frank Moses: It may help me to decide what to do next.

    Interrogation Surveillance Tech: [technician tracing the call whispering to Cooper] Just keep it going.

    William Cooper: Why? What are you thinking about?

    Frank Moses: Our business is a very hard one. But it was never the, uh... the killing or the stress, the bad pay that bothered me.

    William Cooper: Well, what was it, Frank?

    Frank Moses: It's how anything that you love... can be taken away from you. It taught me never to care. Never to invest. Then I met this woman. Sarah. And now you have her. Now I can't think of anything more horrible than to know that your enemies can hurt someone you love. The feeling is almost indescribable.

    [the trace completes, and the technician hands Cooper a printout]

    Frank Moses: You still there, Cooper?

    William Cooper: [horrified] You're at my house

    [Frank looks out the window into the yard where Cooper's wife and two children, unaware, are playing]

    Frank Moses: Almost indescribable, isn't it?

    William Cooper: [whispering] Please... Please don't hurt my family.

    Frank Moses: If anything happens to Sarah, I will rip everything you love out of your life. And then I'll kill you.
