Redemption with revenge - "The Avengers"
Today, let's talk about the movie "The Avengers".
The title is Avengement (2019).
This hard-boiled British action film is dedicated to kung fu star Scott Adkins.
"The Avengers" proves with its strength that not only can there be basic rot movies in the corrupt country, but also a group of tough guys stick to the position of hardcore action movies.
Scott Adkins has been in action movies for many years, most notably in the "Ultimate Fighter" series starring him. The general action movie is a sequel, but this "Ultimate Fighter" series is getting better and better, and new tricks can be made every time. In addition, he also played an important role in the familiar "Wolf Warrior" and "Ip Man 4".
Scott Adkins's lack of handsome appearance is an important reason for his failure to become popular. Aside from this appearance association reason, his own kung fu and figure are remarkable.
In this "Avengers", the actor Scott Adkins plays a muscular man named Cain Burgess (Cain Burgess).
Cain looked fierce, but he was actually a man who only wanted to do a small business. Cain took a fancy to a second-hand gym and wanted to open his own shop. In order to get the first start-up capital, Cain turned to his brother Lincoln Burgess for help.
Lincoln was the leader of a lending group, and he was quite critical of Cain's refusal to join the mortgage group. Now his younger brother is still thinking of starting his own business, which is even more irritating. So Lincoln arranged a small robbery task for Cain, as long as it was completed, he would give money.
Coincidentally, Cain encountered a situation during the robbery, so the crime of robbery was superimposed on the crime of manslaughter, and he was directly thrown into the prison.
The police detectives knew about Cain's family and social relations, and tried to get Cain to confess Lincoln's criminal behavior, but Cain admitted to death, that is, he would not be a second or fifth child. Lincoln did not believe that Cain could keep the secret. In order to maintain his image, he offered a reward of 20,000 pounds to assassinate Cain.
So, after Cain went to prison, he had to face the provocation and assassination of various criminals every day. In order to survive, Cain practiced fighting techniques to protect himself.
Cain has not forgotten the culprit responsible for his tragic situation, always looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
And his revenge process is the highlight of the film.
In fact, seeing the protagonist's name "Cain", experienced audiences can basically guess the direction of the plot.
Cain is a character in the Bible, the first murderer in history to murder someone related to him, and the prototype of the vampire image. Cain and Abel were the first and second sons of Adam and Eve, respectively. Out of jealousy and other reasons, Cain killed his own brother. For this reason, Cain was exiled. During the exile, the angel persuaded him to pray for forgiveness three times, but he was rejected. Then, with the despair of the angels, Cain was cursed as the first vampire in history.
The prototype of Cain who killed his relatives was put into the film, and it became Cain who took revenge on his brother.
In addition to completing his own revenge, Cain also needs to destroy the bloody and cruel money-lending group that Lincoln single-handedly established. The scene of the death caused by the robbery has been lingering, and it has become an eternal pain in Cain's heart. He just wants to use his own hands to complete the redemption.
Beating up those gangsters personally is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has to pay compensation to the innocent people who have been harmed. Only in this way can "The Avengers" complete the entire revenge plan.
While focusing on action, The Avengers strives to build the feel of a retro gangster movie. Although there are not many scenes, the meticulous setting and the precise lines are very attentive, accompanied by the British spit and cold humor, which will never make people feel boring.
A low-budget action movie can already show such an effect. If the production budget is more adequate, with the work of Scott Adkins as the foundation, the effect will definitely be very good.
The action scenes in this film are very lively, and they do not shy away from all kinds of violent scenes. Like Scott Adkins' "The Ultimate Fighter" series, punching to the point where there is no moisture in the flesh, it feels like a super-powerful. Knives, guns and sticks take turns on the field, which will never make the audience look boring.
The most repeated word in the film is fuck. At any time and in any scene, the characters can freely shout Fuck me, fuckyou, fuck good, fuck all.
Refuse to accept the iron-blooded tough guy,
Complete redemption with revenge.
