The film is directed by action film professional Peter Borg, action actor Mark Wahlberg and Indonesian new action actor Iko Uwais join hands, plus female man Lauren Cohan, Queen of Cross Solid Ronda Rousey, together contributed to this fierce action blockbuster.
The main plot of the film is very simple, but the sub-lines behind it are thought-provoking.
The story takes place in a fictional Southeast Asian country, Incador. The Americans learned that Russia had lost 6 dirty bomb raw materials. With the strong sense of mission and responsibility of the Blue Star Guards, the Americans were determined to intercept these dirty bombs.
A police officer at the bottom of Incaador, Xiao Li, suddenly ran into the US embassy with a hard drive, indicating that he knew the whereabouts of the dirty bomb, and asked to be sent out of Incaador before he could tell the password of the hard drive.
All evacuation points from the US embassy, a total of 22 miles, which is where the title of the film comes from.
James led the American watch team to be responsible for the evacuation mission. Under the strong interception of the Incadorian intelligence agency, the watch team finally completed the task and sent Xiao Li to the evacuation point.
There is another bureau behind the mission, and the price of the watch team completing the mission is the annihilation of the entire army.
Mark Wahlberg plays the irritable James. This character usually has a small movement. When he is babbling, he always likes to flick the rubber band on his wrist, reminding himself not to be too violent through pain, which is also "aversion therapy" A sort of.
Aversion therapy is based on Pavlov's theory of conditioning, which is to use the principle of conditioning to establish a conditioned reflex between painful stimuli and bad behaviors to combat the original bad behavior.
James is a staunch patriot. For the sake of the country, he gave up everything he could as an individual. James is gifted, thoughtful and calm, and devoted himself to work. The only drawback is that he is very irritable. There is a strong impatience at work, and in order to complete the task as soon as possible, he does not hesitate to speak ill of others.
When diplomacy and hot war tactics can't solve the problem, you need to use a dirty team like the watch team.
Most of the film revolves around James' point of view. The audience follows James' point of view and experience the sadness of fighting front-line agents.
Before each mission, all the members of the watch team signed an agreement with the government, and they performed the dirty work for the government with strong patriotism.
As shown in the film, when a great country achieves various achievements, there will be many unknown and untold secrets behind it.
Indonesian new action actor Iko Uwais will not only act as the local policeman Xiao Li, but also act as the action director of the film.
There are a lot of Iko Uwais's personal shows in the film. His action scenes always have the shadow of "The Raid", bloody and tyrannical, punching to the flesh, tigers and tigers, each action contains a violent atmosphere, plus the film With sharp and fast editing, the audience can clearly feel the murderous aura of the actors when watching.
Of course, it is precisely because Iko Uwais is the key person who is escorted that the audience has only one question when watching the whole film, why does Xiao Li need to be escorted?
The watch team gave him a knife and let him kill himself directly to the evacuation point. The watch team might not even have the chance to refill the gun.
The plot line behind the film is actually the process of the game between the great powers of the United States and Russia.
The loss of dirty bombs in Russia mentioned earlier is actually a game written, directed and performed by high-level Russian generals.
At the beginning of the film, the watch team killed the Russian intelligence agencies lurking in the United States. The young man killed was the son of the female general. In order to avenge her son, the female general set up a bureau and vowed to kill the watch team.
A line in the film explains all the plot clearly: "He (Xiao Li) is not a double spy, but a triple spy."
When carrying out the revenge plan, Russia used the entire national power to bribe the small country of Incador, coerced Xiao Li to complete the establishment, and let the Americans take the bait.
The Americans didn't know anything about this, they always thought they were looking for dirty bombs to prevent the dirty bombs from endangering the safety of Blue Star.
When a superpower mobilizes its entire nation against a dirty team with vast resources at its disposal, the outcome is already sealed.
Behind the film, the new era of the Cold War in the peaceful era is intended to be shown. On the surface, there is peace between major powers, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.
Peace is only mutual restraint when the strengths are equal. When the strengths are not equal, there will be no peace.
Of course, when the Americans were filming the new Cold War, they were always beautifying the power of the United States, and the Russian side could feel at ease as a villain.
In the beginning, the Americans killed the Russian intelligence team in order to protect their own national security, and they stood up to reason. Later, the Russian female general did not hesitate to make such a big move for revenge, and even spread dirty bombs, she has already stood in the anti-human aside.
If there is a sequel to the film, then it will naturally be James who assembled his team to avenge his dead teammates, and Xiao Li went to save his daughter.
In this film, the American side wins tactically, but loses strategically.
Some people may think that the IQ of a group of people in the watch group went offline when they finally did the task. In fact, the watch team is at most only a pawn in the game of great powers.
When a big country deals with a small country, this pawn is invincible. It controls the power system and transportation system of a sovereign country at will, and it uses drones to launch missiles against a sovereign country without the authorization of the military.
When a big country is dealing with a big country, the chess pieces can only be chess pieces, and the opponent is also an invincible chess piece. Whoever kills the deer depends on the strategic layout behind it. The battle between the politicians behind the scenes is the battle between the flag-bearers, and no matter how powerful a chess piece is, it is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
Special warfare is fierce and fierce,
A good piece is defeated in a chess game.
