I've been looking forward to this film for more than a year, but I didn't expect to make such a bad film.
But it was already expected. After all, the directors and screenwriters were all born in bad films (known as Hollywood teams), the release date was delayed again and again, the foreign Netflix was launched, and the title of the film was changed to a strong earthy flavor. . . . ..
Although it is aimed at several leading actors, the plot, acting and action design are too rough.
Facts have proved that without the training of a good director, all the action actors have been reduced to facial paralysis:
When Iko came up, his wife died, and embarrassed crying was not contagious. I won't use the crying scenes of literary films to bully people. The most important person in the role is dead. Anyway, we need to pave the way for the emotional line. It's inexplicably dead, and the audience has no sense of substitution at all, okay?
As for Chen Hu, the long hair in "Man of Tai Chi" is more handsome, and the short hair is just like a silly hat.
Tony Jia has the best acting skills among the three leading actors. After all, he made his debut early, and he has been a leading actor. He is not like Iko is too young, and unlike Chen Hu who has always been a martial artist and a stand-in, the cooking part is also quite contrasting and cute. of.
Counting the villain Scott Adkins, this film gathers four big stars. I really don’t want to watch too many shootouts in such a film, especially the mentally retarded shootout:
The villain shot at the entrance of the TV station, but couldn't hit the main target of Lu Jingshan;
During the shootout, everyone didn't know how to hide, and jumped out directly to be a living target;
Shoot, aim? It doesn't exist, I just waste a few bullets in the whole process, I won't be so stupid when playing CS;
The villain obviously can shoot but wants to talk nonsense, and then he is killed by the protagonist in hand-to-hand combat.
Even when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, which is the main event, it is very boring, with obvious traces of set moves, and too many scenes that violate human mechanics, such as piercing through walls and stones, appear very fake.
Although the plot and rationality of the action movie are not important, at least the details must be fully done, and there are many tricks, and it looks cool. And the back and forth of the fight scene in this film is just a few tricks. This is the first time I watch a fight scene and I have to fast forward.
In addition, I don't know the reason for this film. The schedule has been delayed again and again, and the script has been changed many times. Many plots are very blunt. For example, the character played by Iko jumped backwards many times, but he was still able to win the trust of both parties.
There is also Zhang Guangbei's guest appearance as the Chinese ambassador. Although you, Lu Fengxian, are the best in the world in martial arts, acting in this kind of action movie still feels like breaking the dimensional wall.
But this is not the first time that Teacher Zhang Guangbei has broken the dimensional wall:
All of Mr. Zhang Guangbei's scenes were done in an office with a Chinese flag, and there was no interaction with the other protagonists, and almost nothing to do with it. I suspect that it was added in order to stick to the main theme.
Oh, by the way, the main theme of this film is the story of a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman in Southeast Asia played by Lu Jingshan who decided to donate money to charity in order to prevent the local gangsters from rejecting the Chinese.
There are still many traces of deletion and disjointness that can be felt in the film. For example, the so-called behind-the-scenes master, dressed like Kuira, the female devil in "101 Dalmatians", as for why she is the villain, what is the purpose? I didn't explain it clearly, and in the end I was caught, and then it was gone.
The Hollywood team + the local flavor of Southeast Asia + the main theme of the Celestial Dynasty constitute the wonderful style of this film, so I will name it "earth-flavored action film".
