Unrated & Unhinged (unrated + fanatics), aiming at these two bloody words, the author downloaded the latest "Death Speed", the result... It goes without saying that it is full of "violence", The "bloody" and "explicit" pictures of the film, swept the sleepy hazy, so refreshing.
American movie "Death Race 4: Beyond Anarchy" (Death Race: Beyond Chaos)
Type of work: action
Main Cast: Zach McGowan (as Connor)...
Story Overview: Police Sergeant Connor VS Violent Mask Man Frankenstein
Release Date: In the US on January 30, 2018
Unsurprisingly, the fourth part of the "Death Race" series arrived as promised. Although the industry has always rumored that the third part is the final chapter, the facts speak louder than words. The appearance of the new work has repelled the rumors, and the hot blooded series has returned again.
This is a typical visual (picture impact + metal soundtrack) film, with a high level of refreshment (adrenaline surge), but in terms of the (story) content of the work, it is not enough to watch. Next, I will briefly analyze the plot in combination with the plot.
I, visual impact
①Violent scene
Machine guns, grenades, chainsaws, machetes, hammers, all in battle, hand-to-hand fights, very exciting
②Bloody scene
Chainsaw human head, knife piercing naked eye, hammer smashing head... plasma splash, human flesh flying, bloody shock
③Beautiful figure
The unrestrained black pearl, the wild Asian special police, the tender bar owner, the coquettish and charming host of "Death Speed", the flesh is full of lust, and the carnival is indulged
II, listening enjoyment
Metal music, breath-taking Changhong
The deafening "Dead Gold" music ran through the audience. Vigorous and powerful riffs, rushing drum beats, hoarse shouts, such manic and beautiful rhythms, are simply standard for B-level films, and their refreshingness is directly on the table.
III, the plot is tasteless
①The story is single, advancing in a single line, read the title and guess the end
The content of the whole film is quite boring. In short, the police authorities send people (Connor and Rose) to Weiland prison to eliminate Frankenstein and his henchmen. Straightforward enough, boring enough, and totally lacking in drama.
②The characters are single, the good and the bad are clear at a glance
Connor - positive image, tall, mighty, and righteous
Rose - neutral, works for the police, doesn't have much emotional involvement
Frankenstein - negative, ruthless, murderous, masked tyrant
The too bright characters made the film lose its suspense early, and also made some audiences lose their enthusiasm for continuing to watch the film.
③The direction of the plot is too deliberate, and the protagonist's halo is obvious
The game law of "the protagonist must win" is particularly prominent in this film.
for example:
a, at the beginning of the film, the helicopter landed at Weiland Prison and put down so many criminals, but only two survived - Connor and Rose (both SWAT);
b, Connor will get the key (can open the death car) after passing the test. In this scene, there is another female character who has the same opportunity as Connor. Unfortunately, due to the selfishness of the screenwriter, this strong competitor is just blown up;
c. At the final decisive moment, so many players of the same level participated, but only 2 cars were left for a head-to-head duel - Connor VS Frankenstein, and the other drivers (except for the special police Rose) were inexplicably killed.
Such a "protagonist first" secondary setting not only limits the visibility of the work, but also weakens the enthusiasm of the audience to watch the film, which is not worth the loss.
Write at the end. Compared with the previous works, "Death Speed: Above Chaos" is more refreshing and more enjoyable to listen to. However, due to the extreme boredom of the plot, the quality of the film has been reduced, which is a little pity.
Director ★★★☆☆ (the director level is above average, the film belongs to the normal B-level film)
Actor★★★☆☆
Plot ☆☆☆☆ (There is almost no plot at all, after all, it is a work that advocates "sensory")
Visual effects ★★★★☆
Sound effects ★★★★★ (metal music, tough enough)
Recommendation ★★★☆☆ (very cool movie, you can completely ignore the existence of the plot)
