When Cage was once again stripped of his style by a supporting role, he still had muscle left

The cast is strong. Personally, I think John Malkovich's acting is the best. He played Cyrus the virus very vividly, calmly and with madness and morbidity. Cyrus the virus lacked fatherly love since childhood, spent 25 years in prison but earned 2 degrees by self-study, killed 11 inmates but hated the rapist the most, threatened Johnny23 if he dared to take out his small child?? The attitude towards other prisoners on the plane is basically "you are friends when you come here", so it seems that this role is very full, different from those villains who do all evil and do a single image (such as "Brave to the Dead Island" who have done the best in this regard. "General Hummel"). I usually don't think about Cage, but his performance in this film is a bit blunt. At the beginning of the film, the narration of his letter to his daughter is so dumb, with an Italian accent; The teammate said, "I must save you!" But his face was expressionless and he was not in a hurry at all; looking at him like that in the whole film, he felt that he didn't want to go home that much? ? ? The lines in "Lord of War" are obviously much better. But Cage contributed beautiful muscles in this movie, especially in the beginning of the prison life. I heard that Cage suggested that the director add such a section. I want to say that it was a good addition. Then John Cusack and Edward Norton look too similar, anyway, his role looks quite natural, but the role itself is a bit too smarty pants, and the brain supplement ability is first-class. Steve The pervert played by Buscemi is too creepy, I won't say it. The completion of the script is quite high, the rhythm is tight, the tension is moderate, and it is done in one go. A large number of action scenes keep the audience's excitement at a stable level. But I think it's a bit of a problem. For example, the role of Cage's role in the beginning is not enough before he goes to prison. The audience only knows that he is a retired soldier. . This is a foreshadowing for the later plot of "not getting off the plane to save teammates", but the lack of character description is a serious problem for the shaping of the protagonist's image. In this case, the protagonist's halo is too strong and lacks flesh and blood reality feel. So even though I know he's the main character the drama must be on him, but really can't help but want to watch Cyrus. There are also some bugs, such as the scene where the rabbit doll appeared inexplicably after the war, and when Cage controlled the plane, no one stopped him except Cyrus. These are all for the sake of the main film. There is no problem with the soundtrack, photography, clothing, etc. I won't talk about it. It's been a long time since I watched such a cool film. There are warmth, action, crime, and social thinking. You can watch whatever you want. The director really understands the audience's psychology of watching movies~ However, 20 years later, Simon West blew it. A sequel still hasn't come out in years?

He blew up a meeting of the National Rifle Association saying, and I quote, "They represented the basest negativity of the white race." He wrote a book in prison called, "Reflections in a Diamond Eye." New York Times called it a wakeup call for the black community. They're talking to Denzel for the movie.
