The efforts and struggles of middle-aged greasy men

The story is complete, the acting is solid and not exaggerated, the plot is smooth, and the shooting is atmospheric, laying a solid foundation for a series.

In terms of the plot, from personal motivation to team formation, from planning to climbing mountains and mountains, from greed to letting go, all the turns and advancements of the plot are very reasonable and natural, and in the relatively fast progress of the plot, everyone's characteristics are fully utilized. It was shown that four vivid middle-aged men quickly entered the hearts of the audience, and this rhythm and narrative also reflected the director's profound skills.

In the design of action scenes, we always maintain a realistic style, which is consistent with the theme of the film. After all, it is only a few retired middle-year-old special forces who secretly sneaked into the drug lord's home to steal money. It is completely illegal and criminal behavior. Infiltrating secretly, killing as few people as possible, shooting scenes, and even using AK, it is also very clear; in order to frame the blame for other gangsters to eat black. There is no bloody, dazzling high-tech weapon show like "The Expendables" and "Mission Impossible" at all. Instead, this style has become a clear stream in the flood of almost ostentatious commercial shootout films, which is not bad.

According to the plot, various South American gangsters and warlords began to chase and block the robbery group of four. The group of four was full of force, and it was not impossible to make an action movie about people blocking the killing Buddha and blocking the killing Buddha, but this is not the director. The director still wanted to express their humanity, hard work and camaraderie, as well as the friendship of men.

Helicopters going over mountains, crashing, and mules and horses falling off cliffs are all big real scenes. They are atmospheric enough and use no hairless special effects. It is also the sincerity of the director.

Personally, I think the only missing scene is the heavy snowfall, covering the sinkhole where they threw money. Of course, at the end of the film, one of the protagonists gets the coordinates of the sinkhole. The organization surfaced, and the lost soldiers will return empty-handed. It should be a good idea to make a sequel.

    6.8 After so many twists and turns, this project is already very good, and Chandor's film temperament is still charming~

    Although there is no "Tom Hardy and Channing Tatum" to join, but now "Ben Affleck, Charlie Hunnam, Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, Garnett Hedlund's five starring casts are still quite powerful. Unfortunately, movies are not my thing.

    Retainment Officer: [at the podium] I have the honor today to introduce you to Retired Captain William Miller. He's been everywhere in the world you all wanna go, and a bunch of places you don't. I've asked him to come and talk to you all today at this important crossroad in your careers. I'm gonna step out so this conversation can be frank and to the point.

    William 'Ironhead' Miller: About five years ago, when I was on leave... I found myself standing in the middle of the cereal aisle at the Publix... with my arm around some guy's throat. I was squeezing so hard he pissed himself. My fiance at the time had to climb on my back just so I didn't actually kill the guy. Do you know why I was doing this? Because he hadn't moved his cart when I asked.

    William 'Ironhead' Miller: I was the best of the best, able to shut down, control, manipulate; all basic human instincts towards one goal: The completion of my mission. But the effects of committing extreme violence on other human beings are biological and physiological. That's the price of being a warrior.
