The film opens with a compact and powerful boxing sound, boom, boom, boom, the sound is powerful and harsh, the smaller one is Matt’s catharsis of the boring life in the safe house, and the larger one is the director of the film. Boxing replaced the CIA, thus laying the groundwork for attacking the corruption of the CIA from the very beginning. In general, this movie is a great American action film. A document from the British Intelligence Agency on the corruption of agents leads the entire incident. Although the plot is old-fashioned and the development of the story is not satisfactory, the action lines are in it. There is still something to be seen interspersed with the emotional line. Former agent Foster, who is also both righteous and evil, took over this document, and was naturally pursued by the killer organization, anti-reconnaissance, gunfights, and motorcycle racing. The director used unique hand-held photography techniques to show the intense and exciting fighting scenes. . In the beginning, Foster escaped from the killer organization alone. After that, Matt took Foster to escape from the safe house, and then to the climax of the stadium and the gunfight in the slums. Although it was a fight every ten minutes, But there is no feeling of boredom at all, every fight is reasonable, but every time is unexpected. Whether it is from the scenes, atmosphere, or from the technique and details, it is definitely a feast for the eyes, and it's just a pleasure. But the shortcoming of this film is that it is a bit anticlimactic. The fighting in the front may be fierce, causing the scene to be a little overwhelming. Especially after David and Catherine went to Africa from the CIA, the whole film began to make people feel that they were insufficient. (You can tell at a glance who is the real man behind the scenes). But the movements are not enough to make up for emotions. What Foster said to Matt with tears in the safe room still has full marks in affection, and it will feel sour in his eyes when he looks at it. ------Emotional details 1. In Matt's own safe house, Foster lowered his head and made a smile when facing the CIA agent who was about to interrogate him. Even if you are the fish on the knife, you can still keep your face and heartbeat, calm and calm, and feel Foster's disdain and mockery of the CIA's tactics at this time. Anyway, I am a fairy of Da Luo, and King Kong is not broken. You can love me. what? 2. Matt's affectionate farewell to his girlfriend at the subway station is a bright spot interspersed in the action scene. Matt really complied with Foster's words, and it was not his girlfriend who left in the end, but the one he chose to leave. He tried his best to help his girlfriend whitewash and live a better life, so he chose to leave. In fact, this is not a relief for Matt. He was originally a simple child, no longer lying to his girlfriend, maybe it will make the life more practical and more comfortable. 3. Friends are like good wine, people will change, good and bad, and unfamiliar, but wine will not change. The wine of 1973, whether you come or not, will be kept for you and for good friend Foster. Knowing that the documents on Foster's body will bring a murderous disaster, the old friend will still help Foster unhesitatingly. Especially the phrase "Go" after the old friend was shot, really made me feel the deep friendship between them, and Foster's revenge after the smashing of the steering wheel also expressed my anger and sadness, between the eyebrows, Full of stories (at the end of the film, when Foster was about to die, he said "local grapes, pinotage is a good wine". It is Foster's hard to let go of his old friends. Foster is both good and evil, but There is a principle of emphasizing "I only kill professionals") Sacrificing for too long can make people become hard-hearted. When is the end, only God knows. It is not terrible for people to have no hiding place, just find a volute and you can move forward happily. The human heart is terrible without a place to hide. It's sluggish in the world, and it is left and right by others. What is the difference between this and salted fish?
