Directed by Brian Smoots and starring Ethan Hawke and Xu Qing, the crime action film "24 Hours: The Last Rebirth" is limited to 24 hours and tells the story of professional killer Travis (Ethan Hawke played by Ethan Hawke). ) and Interpol Lin (played by Xu Qing) had to join forces by chance to destroy the criminal organization. In this story, director Brian Smoots used death to highlight the unpredictable and terrifying nature of human destiny at the very beginning. After all, the death of Travis at the beginning created a "killing" similar to the film. Violent aesthetic vibe. In the film, Lin drove to Africa to escort the suspects, but was ambushed, and the confrontation between guns turned into a gunfight-style violent aesthetic. This kind of random gunfire is a kind of visual and auditory pleasure for the audience invisibly, which makes people tense and enter a war-torn world.
However, regarding the Red Mountain Organization, Travis discovered its real conspiracy when he performed the mission again, and began to join forces with Lynn to fight back. However, in the process, Travis and Lynn were hunted down by the Red Mountain Organization. In the film, whether it's Lin's questioning in the street, reflexive counterattack, or Lin's frantic pursuit by criminals in the hotel; whether it's a car speeding, rampaging, mixed with countless bullets flying, or ammunition in an African village. Exploding cars, buildings, etc., all constitute the real action and gunfire space of the movie "24 Hours: The Last Rebirth". It should be pointed out that this series of action scenes and gun battle scenes have new attributes, that is, the director through the conversion of different shots and the grasp of the speed, more smoothly showed one hearty gun battle after another. The play is still quite interesting.
In addition, the movie "24 Hours: Rebirth" still retains a trace of true feelings. This kind of true expression and memory is different from the world in gunfire. It is cleaner, purer, and more ideal. In the film, the world in Travis' mind, although it is a side effect caused by drugs, is a process of facing up to himself and letting him find his true self. This is like the model of a road movie, which is ultimately the spiritual redemption of the hero and heroine. Through the film, it is found that Lin, as an Interpol, is a guide, leading Travis to the right path and a process of returning to the natural goodness of human nature. However, in this process, the price is painful and difficult, because they have to decide the winner in the fire, maintain the consistent justice, and completely destroy the evil. It can be said that truth and justice are left to the movie "24 Hours: The End of the Road", a megaphone for viewers to think about, or even an excuse.
Justice and evil, the rich and the poor, ancient morality and new morality, constitute the dual proposition of the movie "24 Hours: Rebirth", which not only highlights the violent aesthetics of gunfights and fighting, and the pleasure brought by quick revenge, but also It shows the joy and happiness after the victory, as well as the expression of a new attitude towards life through the life before death.
