Mirror duo

This kind of action movie, as expected, is far superior to the average movie overall. It is fast-paced and slow-motion, with violence and beauty coexisting heartily.

The plot is actually quite ups and downs, although a bit of routine, the final ending is too mediocre, but it can barely be regarded as ups and downs.
Logically, action movies are the protagonist halo after all, so hehe.
Of course, the performance of the two protagonists is also remarkable, you come up and I will appear on the stage and change their faces vigorously.

The real power is the overall rhythm and picture of the movie.

A sniper scene coming up. Murder was hidden in the peaceful environment. Kester aimed and drank a drink, as if the assassination was as easy as a usual walk. The joy of Sean and the child formed a strong contrast with the tragic and ironic results that followed. From then on, the two have forged a beam.

The chasing game after six years. Kester's appearance was first to sing while planting bombs. Art and madness coexisted together. The description of tying his younger brother's shoes was a comprehensive routine that embodies the character's personality. After that, a series of chase scenes, unsympathetic killings Is so domineering and even frantic. On the contrary, Sean is a typical working model worker, serious or even a little real, and also represents the bottom line of the justice side.

The two face changing scenes. The strong sci-fi taste, although the age is earlier, but the details are very detailed, the explanation is very clear step by step, and people have no doubt about the possibility of changing faces. The changes in my heart, coupled with the fact that the movie is still too early, can basically infer subsequent changes.

Prison scene. The initial stage was very short, and Sean's scenes were very refreshing. And the other line Kester’s change immediately turned around. When the two met, Sean’s astonishment and Kester’s pride also heralded the tangled plot behind.

The two enter each other's fields separately and adapt to the new environment for them. All kinds of awkward, strange words and deeds, lies and betrayal, one side is the temporary victory of evil, and the other side is the temporary aggression of justice, the rhythm is too fast, the dots are too many and the details are not enough. But one thing is that the two people's completely different personalities enrich and fill the missing content in the other's original environment. Kester brings relaxation and pleasure to Sean's environment, and Sean brings promise and responsibility to Kester's environment. .

Meeting again is also the outpost of the final game. After the bullets and bullets between the two, the two sides of the mirror were separated, facing each other, and they saw their own face, but not their own. Self-denial and self-identification converged for a moment, although it was only a moment, it was very visual.

The final battle. Some of the previous conditions have been laid, Sean’s wife actually knew it in her heart, and Kester’s wife also stood by Sean without knowing the truth, which also shows that "there are more ways to help but no way to help." Several scenes were switched, several times tit-for-tat, and in the end, when both of them were almost desperate, justice defeated evil. It’s a good routine... The church scene is considered the most popular, and the earliest Kester sang "Ha "Lillujah" echoed. In the slow motion, the white dove and the bullet flew together, and the church was so peaceful and violent, as if violence and killing were an art in themselves. Justice is not perfect, and evil also has beautiful moments.

After watching a movie, the last thing left in my mind is the fast-paced slow motion of the scenes, as well as the faces of the two heroes.
