Judging from the screen, the big scenes have emerged. The gun battles and explosions are intense and exciting. The use of high-tech positioning, tracking, and setting is powerful and intuitive, and is not muddled; from the background, the customs of the Middle East have been established, the deserts of the drylands, The lively bazaars and the common people’s families are authentic and unpretentious; from the perspective of the cast, acting and box office guarantees are available, Russell Crowe, who deliberately gains weight, and Leonardo Dica, who insists on taking the tough guy route Prio is remarkable, and Mark Strong, who plays Hani, also steals a lot of the limelight with his unique aristocratic temperament. So where is the problem? The use of the lens is generally second. The key is that the story itself is not well told, and a subject that can be used in perspective and depth is wasted. Especially in the second half, there are narrative disjunctions and plot irrationality, which greatly weaken it. The viewing, credibility, and thinking of the movie make it a banal and vulgar three-star movie.
First of all, using the architect to create fake terrorist attacks, the purpose is to attract Saleem's attention, challenge his authority, stimulate his emotions, induce Saleem to go to the architect, and actively expose the hiding place. But as a result, after the plan was successful, such a wonderful original intention was thrown into the Pacific Ocean. Ed warned Ferris not to care about the life and death of the architect, instead of closely monitoring the architect. Isn’t it weird? Imagine that Ferris obeyed Ed's words, it is impossible to catch Saleem, the architect will definitely die, and he himself may be exposed because of this. Isn't this setting up a bureau for himself.
Second, Ferris should be a very professional secret agent with rich practical experience and leadership skills in the film, but for some reason, the later he showed his innocence, innocence, lack of mind, and affection, just like a gangster. A newcomer who graduated from the CIA training school. Regardless of Aisha's love at first sight, during the secret mission, he can find time to talk about a purely spiritual love that can't hold hands, hugs, kisses, and ml. Even the parents have met. At first glance, they thought it was a romantic comedy. I thought it was forgotten, it was just the seasoning, but it turned out that it wasn’t over. When it was discovered that Aisha was kidnapped, Ferris immediately lost his calm and reason, became irritable and anxious, and panicked and asked Hani for help. Everything that shouldn't be said was out of his mind, and then he put himself in danger with the idea that Aisha could be exchanged for his own life, and he almost died because of it. It was a generation of love. But this is too much a Korean drama. The two of them have seen each other less than 5 times, and each time they are together for a short time. Can the relationship be so deep or so enthusiastic? Be possessed by Jack!
Finally, the conversation between Hani and Ferris in the ward made me realize that everything was set by Hani. It's so unexpected that it should be the most brilliant place, but it's wrong to think about it again, Ferris was sent to the desert by Hani's people, how could he be picked up by Saleem's people? After reading Douyou's discussion, I am more in agreement with Hani and Saleem's statement of making a transaction. Although I am not sure how they contacted, how much Kareem played, and what the pay was used to exchange Ferris, at least this The context is connected. However, all these are just speculations made by the audience in order to convince themselves to understand the story. I think it is necessary to explain the truth in the movie. Otherwise, the story is incomplete like missing a piece of the puzzle.
