"Setup" (2011) Weak gangster, is this a comedy? ! ! !

I know there are a lot of bad movies, but unfortunately I have encountered very few - poor me, I am the kind of audience who can be satisfied with a bucket of popcorn. The last time I was fooled into watching a super bad movie was "Wuji". Exited after 20 minutes. But after 20 minutes of the film, Bruce Willis still did not appear, unwilling, unwilling - who knew that it was like "The Expendables", and it was a role that I could also play.

The plot of the film seems to have exceeded the limit that most audiences can bear. All the characters have no personality but only swear words, and when they are so incompetent, they need to freeze the camera for a close-up for 1 second, and then a line of words will appear on the side to introduce the characters. , (I'm sorry, I'm going to scold people) Does the director like "Detective Conan" or what? It's not enough to just write a title when the characters appear on the scene, but also add the name, gender and age.

A particularly rude American prisoner was sentenced to life for racial discrimination. In order to prevent him from being stabbed to death by his inmates, his son was going to bribe the prosecutor to detain him in a VIP room. OK, the above is the background.
It is said that the son and two middle school classmates murdered and robbed diamonds in the street, and then decisively silenced the classmates when the stolen goods were sold. Then the story starts with a classmate who was almost silenced. He found the student who was tracked down by a diamond reselling organization, and then he fooled the local gang boss to come forward for him. Finally, I found the poor classmate and took back the money, so the prisoner in the background of the story was stabbed to death.

Robbery in the street, gangs fighting each other, just for a few million, the robbed is powerless, and the police sit idly by (you have also passed the approval). If any actor appears on the scene, the previous scene still feels like the key foreshadowing, and the next scene is inexplicably hung up. Eighty percent of the shots have absolutely no idea what they're doing: the lines are basically swear words; the shots are a mess; the editing is messy and broken, the contrast and saturation of the image is messed up; It's been through...

If the emotional film is the kind that shows tits or tomato pulp, it's justified, otherwise I really don't know how to evaluate this film - I seem to have heard that 50cent is a local idol - So I put 50cent Change it to Jay Chou, change the old cloth to Chow Yun Fat, well, I vomited again...

Setup quotes

  • [first lines]

    Sonny: When I was younger I wanted to be a priest. I was going into the battle to save men's souls from the evil of the world. But as I got older, I saw the world for what it really was. It wasn't so much who I was going to save, but what was going to save the world from me.

  • [last lines]

    Sonny: A man once said, an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. As I was not my brother's keeper, neither was I his killer. I could live the the fact that Vincent was still alive. The question was, could he?
