After watching a few serious ones, it's time to take it easy. This is a new comedy.
Gunther is the world's top killer. A bunch of second-rate killers are trying to replace him for various reasons. So they formed a group to kill him. The video describes the whole process.
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Gunther. Not many plays. Rather than taking the lead role, it is better to say that Arnold played for these second-rate killers or second-rate actors and used star power to boost the box office. However, Schwarzenegger put a lot of effort into being the governor, and he was already old and handsome on the screen. Except for the belly, nothing else has grown.
In the film, each killer's character is unique. The killers have their own unique skills, and one of the Japanese killers is the most interesting. He doesn't use guns or knives, and he vomits at the sight of blood. The way he chose was to use poison. This is very in line with the Japanese character: play yin. Another killer, who likes to be flamboyant, was about to give a speech to others. As soon as he stepped on the table, he was shot and killed by Gunther in the distance. There is also a pair of male and female killers, who have a common goal to bring them together, have a love in the same trench, and finally quit the profession, get married and have children, happily. The only remaining convener has been persevering and fighting for his life, and the ending is full of humor and tragic.
The director's attempt to develop the plot in the form of a pseudo-documentary is also a very unique feature.
It is said that this is the director's debut work. In this case, in addition to the features mentioned above, there are more unreliable things. The whole film is a farce, and it's a farce that the audience doesn't see as humorous. Maybe there's something else unique about American humor? But let alone compare it with Chaplin, it is also dwarfed by De Niro's "Don't Mess with Me" and "The Boss Step aside" PK. Anyway, I never laughed from beginning to end.
The arrangement of the plot is also very loose, and the cause and effect lack logic. Such as a series of car explosions on the street, it is even more impossible to happen, which will make the audience feel absurd.
After watching the movie, the question of "killer" came to mind inexplicably. In today's world, is there really a killer as a profession?
Thinking about China's past, Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, and the horned bearded guest all had assassinations. However, their murders are not for money, but for a sense of justice. Or assassinate for the country, or seek revenge and murder. Up to now, there are only a few left, such as Wang Yaqiao. Mao Zedong once commented on him: he was innocent of killing the enemy, and he was successful in resisting Japan. The small sections are under-checked, and the major events are not confused. It can be seen that these people are not "killers" or "assassins" in the usual sense, and it is more accurate to call them "chivalrous men". Entering the new era, there are no more chivalrous men. There are a few gangsters in the underworld who play tens of thousands of dollars and buy an arm. It's okay to talk about killing people. . There is a little bit of movement, and it is the case of the Bamboo Union Gang who killed Jiangnan. It's just that this is closely related to politics, and the Bamboo Union Gang did not do it for business, but made themselves disgraced because of it.
Look abroad. In the 1970s, I read a book "The Day of the Jackal" about a professional killer. It tells the killer's daily life and killing process in great detail, which is very attractive. Too bad it only exists in fiction. I checked on Baidu, and the only killer organization I found was in Japan, named TDA (only one letter away from TDK), and almost half of them were undercover FBI agents, relatively secretive, and I didn’t see them killing a few people. . It is still a novel that has done a dramatic description of them.
It can be seen that there is no real professional killer in this world. They only exist in novels or movies. However, this conclusion is not so absolute. As soon as the audience quits, and after watching so many thrilling scenes, you actually say that it is all false. How can we feel it? Second, in case... I mean in case, in case there really is such a professional killer, in case I see me writing this, I must be furious, thinking that I deny their existence and tarnish their reputation, in case they come to the door Come, if I take me as proof of their existence, then I will be miserable. Forget it, let's just assume they exist.
Killers must be cold-blooded, killing is their profession, as long as the employer gives money, and to a certain extent, then they will definitely take action, no matter whether their targets are male or female, old or young, good or villainous, yes Hero or hero, politician or beggar, they don't hesitate to give a shot. There will never be the kind of bodhisattva heart of Jean Reno in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". To put it more bluntly, from the day he chose a professional killer, all the moral concepts of human beings disappeared in his mind, only fighting for money. I don't think a normal person would make such a choice.
Back to the movies. This movie is more suitable after intense work, three or five friends, a few couples, nothing to do when you are full, go to the theater with a bowl of popcorn, chat in a low voice while eating, and cultivate your own laughter by the way.
