Strive to do a good remake again - "Single-handedly"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Single-handedly".
The title of the film is Point Blank (2019).
In the era of streaming media, content is king. While Netflix pays attention to original dramas, it has not spared all kinds of themes worthy of remakes.
Want so many high-quality original content, but also meet the market demand, how can it be so easy. Early works have often been tested by the market, so it is a good choice to remake previous works. This "Single Pole" is such a remake.
There are four films called "Single-handedly", which are Vin Diesel's "Single-handed" A Man Apart (2003), the French version of "Single-handed" À boutportant (2010), and the Korean version of "Single-handed" 표적/ Point Blank (2014), and this "Single Pole".
Judging from the plot of the film, Vin Diesel's "Single Pole" is an action movie tailored after he became famous. It tells about his battle with the Mexican drug cartel, which has little to do with the film.
The remaining three "Single Pole" tells the same story, with the 2010 French version being the original, the 2014 Korean version and the 2019 US version being remakes.
The story of "Single-handedly" is not complicated, it is a story of civilians fighting against the black police.
The male protagonist Samuel is just a normal male nurse at work. There is also a wife Tallinn who is about to give birth at home. The young couple are waiting for the arrival of new members of the family.
One day, a man Abu, who was shot by a gunshot wound, came to the hospital, and a bloody storm started. Samuel's wife is taken hostage by the robbers, and Samuel is asked for help by the robbers. Then came the police chasing the robbers, and the gangster who collected debts from the robbers, and Samuel had to fight for his family.
The highlight of "Single-handedly" is not the plot of the film itself. After all, the script from ten years ago can't be remade if it is taken out and remade. There are already many themes related to the defense of unarmed civilians against the vicious black police, and viewers with some experience in reading films will see the ending early.
The highlight of "Single-handedly" is the two male actors on the film poster. One is "Falcon" Anthony McKay, and the other is "Crossbones" Frank Grillo. The two Marvel Universe superheroes collectively came to the new film for reemployment.
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe comes to an end, many superheroes face the problem of reemployment. Even Falcon with a follow-up contract has a gap, and "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" won't be released until 2020.
Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle. It is better to make some action movies and give full play to your professional expertise.
As a fast-food action movie, audiences don't need to have high expectations for this film. With higher expectations and bigger disappointments, this kind of remake itself isn't in the Craftsmanship category.
It can be seen that the cast members are earnestly filming, but the overall effect is very mediocre. Several remakes have a lower number than some.
A moment of serious drama, a moment of off-key comedy, and then a little tearjerker. The film did not give the audience enough time to brew their emotions, but kept adding different moods.
Road chases, gunfights, hand-to-hand combat, everything you should have in an action movie, but also in "Single Pole", that's all. Samuel's spinning long shot as he packs a bag is a feature and a small highlight. At most, there are some brotherhoods where blood is thicker than water, and the same afflictions of people who are fallen from the end of the world. Other than that, there are not many bright spots.
try to remake,
Overall mediocre.
