Short comment.
Long comment.
The screenwriter of "Ip Man 4" once said: The most important thing is to solve why you fight. And my biggest question mark in this movie is why I played it.
(I forcibly ignore the powerful firepower of the Bangladeshi military and police in the movie. Compared with the equipment of the Indian military and police in the 2016 Mumbai terrorist attack movie "Mumbai Hotel" adapted from real events, I think Bangladesh can invade India and take Delhi directly.)
1. The drug lords have been controlled by the anti-narcotics team, and the drug lords have been taken to prison without money and no one. Why did the enemy of the "sea of blood and deep feud" kidnap his son? Isn't he out of money? Then you want to humiliate him, what's the point of kidnapping his son? Isn't it better to kill?
2. The drug lords have no money and go bankrupt. They still have big houses, luxury cars, bodyguards, and hire top mercenaries... Then can you sell these first and pay the rest of the money?
3. The top mercenaries were used by their own customers, not in the yin family of the trading place, but in the war zone! You have the ability to intercept top mercenaries, why don't you intercept them from non-top mercenaries? This should be simpler. Because you can't beat the boxing champion, you decide to hire someone to beat the boxing champion first, and then you will beat this person...
4. The intermediary knew for the first time that it was at the beginning of the day that it was bailed out. She knew what was wrong, but she held back and said nothing. She waited for a whole day. Originally, the top mercenaries just had to hand over the child to the employer and everyone was happy. She chose to be silent. I don’t know why she didn’t say it. After everyone sat down, she finally said it, and I don’t know what she did. Knowing that they must be the employer. In short, she went from knowing nothing to knowing everything, becoming an almighty god.
5. This child does not believe in the family bodyguard who has lived with him for many years, but he has to trust the foreigner he has met for the first time in his life. "I know him" "He may also be the one who betrayed you." "Oh, okay." Does this come from the trust of the white people in the blood of the Indians?
6. In order for the top mercenaries to get their children out of trouble, they became Li Xiangyang themselves—relying on shooting to the sky to cover the transfer of the fellow villagers. It sounds like an advanced plan. The question is, "The only way to get out of here is to go through those bridges, and all the bridges are blocked by cards." So, what is the point of firing your gun? This is not Zhaozhuang, dear. You are surrounded by devils, don't you just expose your position by firing a shot into the sky?
7. Finally, a full-scale armed conflict broke out between the top mercenary regiment and the Bangladeshi military and police. Because men have extraordinary meanings to women. She wants to save him desperately! But why did she let him go when she knew it was a "suicide mission"? Because she loved him and hated him, she was entangled to death.
I don’t want to mention political correctness, because after all, this is an entertainment movie. But many logical errors make me have to consider that there are political considerations. A team of Western mercenaries invaded Bangladesh to save the son of an Indian drug lord, killing many Bangladeshi soldiers and police for "justice." You said that the son of the drug lord is not wrong, but is the Bangladeshi military and police at fault? The drug lord’s son said, “I’m sick of my dad’s behavior. Because he might have killed someone’s dad again.” In order to save you, do you know how many dads died? How dare you.
I'm talking about the script above. Let me talk about technology below.
Many people will definitely say that one-third of the long lens. With the current situation where special effects are so developed, it is not difficult to get a shot, of course, this does not include our China. The question is what is the point of you doing this? There are many similarities between this film and "The Wandering Earth", that is, many waste shots were taken to show off their skills. For example, the 360-degree surround zoom, this kind of long lens is like a 4D movie in a science and technology museum, there is no feeling at all. The transition is very messy, and I often can't tell the relative position of who and whom. For example, the position of the general sniper was not explained, and the drug lord with the binoculars followed immediately after the camera, making me think that they were in the same place. When chasing a car, the car is often used as the protagonist instead of the person, which gives people a sense of alienation and makes people look at it without stress. The director has very good experience in action scenes. The action scenes are very Asian, but there is no directing, photography and editing. Seeing the ending subtitles, I answered many questions.
