From "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" to "Rescued Jiang Ge" and then to this "Sleepless Night", Jamie Foxx has been playing the same type of passive hapless.
In this film, he lacks the kind of heroic spirit in "Miami Vice". The whole film has a bitter face. I feel like I've been unlucky for ten lifetimes.
The character creation in the whole film is empty and boring. If you have to be taller than the dwarf, the villain boss and the male protagonist's wife are relatively well explained characters.
The plot is in line with the usual style of popcorn movies. The audience doesn't need to use their brains, just watch them fight all the way. It's a pity that the action design is relatively bland and can't stimulate everyone's adrenalin passion.
In terms of photography, digital machines have high sharpness. Once the light is not good, it will be too fake, resulting in the so-called TV feeling. This film is processed with a diffuser, so I can get back some cinematic images.
It is worth mentioning that the scheduling skills of the film, the characters go from confrontation to mutual cooperation and then to mutual opposition. The director skillfully used the natural movement of the actors and the front and back shots of the actors to increase the tension of the plot.
The handling of the scene in the office between the villain boss and the casino owner is the best in the entire film.
As the saying goes:
Short shots + hard cuts = Sanda.
Orbit + character movement = Tai Chi.
It is rare to see Tai Chi techniques in such a less serious film.
