Belonging to the rough and perverse of that era - "The Road to Escape"

1. Rhythm and tension. Fist to the flesh, bloody knives, headshots with guns, well-planned crimes, thrilling drag racing chases, interlocking and tense gunfights duels, surly villains, and of course the least of which are handsome guys and beauties The lingering moment, the gorgeous performance of the sexy goddess... The movie covers almost all the characteristics of the high-quality R-rated films of the 90s. Some people think that this rhythm is still not efficient and fast enough. It is probably given to a generation that is used to it by "The Fast and the Furious", "Transformers", and Michael Bay. In fact, action movies can't only have action, they can't only have suffocating high-density melee, boring movies without climax will make people drowsy, and so-called hi-fi movies that are full of climax will also make people doze off after watching it for a long time. Any works that are at the same frequency for too long will have this effect. One by one, the rhythm of a fascinating film should be equal. This "Road to Escape" starts from a trap, and slowly introduces various crises, people from all walks of life, and various misunderstandings. When it is slow, it even gives you the opportunity to taste the desolation of Western movies. When it is fast, it is imminent. The sense of crisis also takes your breath away. This is the most memorable and timeless taste of the same type of movies in the 1990s.

Second, Kim Basinger. Along the way, she has never been able to get rid of the title of "vase", which makes people sigh. Maybe her performance in some movies is unsatisfactory and too rigid; maybe some movies are just playing tricks and just use her body as a selling point; and I think the biggest possibility is that she is beautiful to a certain extent, and everything else is covered up and Neglected. But what is certain is that even in the "vase", this one is definitely top-notch and dedicated at the same time, at least she has never forgotten that her profession is an actor. There are two most popular places in the film, both from her. An emotional grasp of helplessness, anger, humiliation, disappointment and mixed emotions after being misunderstood by her husband, with a sentence: "Will you do the same for me, will you humiliate yourself for me?" The true love for her husband is beyond words. In another place, the two people who had misunderstood and thought of divorce, after the twists and turns of the money being transferred and recovered at the station, the twists and turns that might have deepened the misunderstanding. , without any words and explanations, they immediately released their suspicions and hugged together. This is another true love beyond words. In these two paragraphs, "Vase" has been handled quite well and can be called first-class, and these two paragraphs, the director has handled a few strokes, a few strokes, just right and can be called first-class.

Third, Hoffman. At that time, Hoffman, who was still wearing all kinds of tricks, made people feel sad. Even if it is an absolutely low-rank NPC who will kill people within a few minutes of coming out, he can play so eye-catching and unforgettable. This is the power of acting. At that time, did he think that he would one day stand on the Oscars podium, holding the golden statue of the best actor? At that time, did he think that he would fall from the top so quickly, braking suddenly and falling off a cliff, ending his own career Life... Every time I think about it, I feel that good luck makes people, and things are unpredictable.

That's all, with the sound of Richard Marx's texture-filled "Now and Forever" at the end of the film, the car drove to the depths of the yellow sand, and the hero disappeared in the rivers and lakes.
