The audience is more looking forward to seeing "Rival's Love", right?

Ever since I met Tom Hardy in "Warriors", I have been waiting to see him. His performance in "Warrior" was so brilliant, pushing the whole film of Thunderball and rushing forward without any coldness, it was a hearty and hearty performance. The gloomy deserter in the film, the Luthor who was almost facial paralyzed by taking drugs, was played three points by him. So when he appeared in the romantic comedy action film "Rival Wars" in the romantic comedy action "Rivals", he immediately shocked me. Legs are sore and weak. Is this splendid agent in a custom suit and the muscular man with facial paralysis the same person? Of course, Tom Hardy immediately proved that he can also control this kind of handsome pick-up role, you see, when he wore a slim and tight shirt and raised his feet on the desk, you understood him. It can also be James Bond, not a bond like Daniel Craig, but a Bond fan of Pierce Brosnan, and he is British. He has a charming accent, and he has the American accent in the play. For several streets, he didn't call his friends Dude or Man or Bro, but Mate! Soulmate's mate!

In the film, Tom Hardy’s friend, Mate-Chris Pine, although his nostrils are so big from a certain angle, he can be regarded as one of the pillars of the new generation of male actors anyway, in "Star Trek" The performance here was not good enough, and the task was completed. In "Star Trek", he played the role of being a handsome man, so naturally he will be caught in the "Rival Battle". In my opinion, most of the native American actors of the same age are very suitable for playing the role of Chris Pine in the playboy role, probably because of the cultural background. I don’t believe that I will be born in England to play this kind of brain growth. The role on Jiji is an unimaginable sense of contradiction. There is also a very interesting detail. In the film, Chris Pine’s residence is a typical American style, spacious, bright, modern and simple, while Tom Hardy’s residence is a British style, smoking a pipe and sitting by the fireplace. Dickens's ancient. If the two switch roles, I can almost imagine Tom Hardy sitting on Chris Pine's simple and atmospheric sofa. And the latter in the former’s apartment would be like a bull who broke into a porcelain shop.

After introducing the main characters, let's take a look at the film itself, oh, forget there is a heroine. Even though Reich Witherspengui is the Oscar actress, his presence in the film is too weak. This is probably the only one I have ever watched. The heroine does not show her face and does not affect the whole film. If the director really follows this route, it will not only save a lot of budget, but also improve the quality of the film. Just imagine: two close friends vying for a faceless woman, what a postmodern setting, a bit "Waiting for Godot" a feeling of. Although there is a weak sense of existence, Reich Witherspoon still tries hard to be tender in the film. This former American sweetheart is now like an American cone, melted into a blur under the light of the two heroes. Therefore, the audience should be incomprehensible, how can the ice cream He De, which quickly melted into the background, attract the two handsome guys to do everything for her.

Like all romantic comedy action movies aimed at Bo Jun’s smile, the plot of "Rivals in Love" is very simple. Two buddies are chasing a girl at the same time. The ending is naturally happy, although the girl does not have twin sisters to satisfy all the male protagonists, and she has not created a parallel world (I am "Blurred Files", will I talk about it everywhere?), but after all, everyone has become dependents. Or the family members were retrieved. Ah, you said there are terrorists in the film? ! If Reich Witherspoon is a melting ice cream, the villain in the film is water vapor, in other words, it is a cloud! The only role of the villain is to set off the image of the two male protagonists, rich and handsome, but those two are already very handsome without the villain, and even with the Russian mafia lying guns, as long as Hollywood still exists on the earth, Russia will inevitably be arms dealers. , The second force who lost nuclear weapons, and the image setting of the bottom of the underworld, sad!

There are a lot of laughs in the film, don't expect any new ideas, just grasp the time and fire conditions securely. Coupled with Tom Hardy's performance, the ordinary laughter also shows the richness of the fire tree silver flower. My three favorite scenes are: shooting Chris Pine with an anesthesia gun, live-action paintball CS, and shooting a reconnaissance plane with a gun. In the first scene, Tom Hardy showed his face for a few seconds, but you just think he should have done this kind of thing that shot a love rival down on the sofa with an anesthetic gun, and he can only do it! And you can't be angry! In the second scene, when Tom Hardy attacked a group of shivering little kids and otaku with full firepower as an agent, his joy went to the sky. The most awesome spear-fighting reconnaissance plane. To pick up girls, Tom Hardy killed the MQ series unmanned reconnaissance plane with a cost of over 10 million US dollars. It can also knock out tens of millions of dollars in one shot! In the film, Chris Pine chose the route of loving and selling cute, adopting stray dogs, and embarrassing childhood. Tom Hardy's assessment is accurate: these are porn videos for girls. Indispensable, there are also brothers' rebellion and the release of previous suspicions, but in the mood of lowering expectations and only trying to get a good mood, these cliches are not unbearable.

Finally, let’s talk about the biggest, most serious and unacceptable loophole in the film! That's it: Tom Hardy and Chris Pine can obviously be a mess! Why do you want to chase the aunt?

    Doesn't Maozi like to talk about taxpayers? How can two handsome guys use national resources to pick up girls... Although Tom is more MAN, the girls are destined to be defeated by little white faces
