In terms of action design, the real sharpness, exaggerated violence, and dreamy aesthetics , there is no shortage of it. The high-speed shooting in the narrow space in the elevator rendered the blood and force just right, and the sparks after the lights were turned off were gorgeous! Then the slaughter of the crazy trio was exaggerated and unbelievable. The development of the bloodline is very creative. I won't say more, see for yourself. And the scene where the black girl shoots the police with a .50 rifle against a chariot will definitely make you feel so good, all of them are shot directly. It was flying. Later, the aimless and crazy shooting of the two sides made people highly engaged, and I really wanted to do the same actions as the characters in the movie. In
terms of editing, because of such a huge and complicated background and lines, the director chose the segmentation wisely. Roughly 3/5 part has been describing the actions of various people, using dizzying switching to focus attention, interspersed with some plot clues, foreshadowing, small humor, and some detailed emotional descriptions. Then 1/5 It is a large collection of action scenes, one after another, all of which are too exciting, and because of the previous foreshadowing, it is equivalent to a total outbreak of contradictions. The last 1/5 is used to uncover the mystery and tell the story. It's boring, because it's cool to have fun, it's time to calm down and think about all the clues ahead.
The music is also brilliant. When ACE debuted in the restaurant, the BGM combined the prosperity of VEGAS with the ethereal Xiao of Asia, implying the pride, contradiction and sharpness of the character of ACE. The final BGM wins first in melody, and With the development of the plot at that time, the degree of fit is very high. There are also a few other songs that are also suitable for the occasion. It is one of the few western films that I want to find an OST to listen to. However, the last BGM was not included in the OST, which is a pity , I don't know who can provide the full version.
If there is any shortcomings, I personally think that it is probably the overall creativity of the plot. It is not very novel, but I don't think there is anything to be picky about. Because its detailed description is very delicate .Many people think that the plot of this film is bad, but I think it is purely inertial thinking. It seems that such a story structure and hot action performance will definitely not produce a good story, and I didn't think carefully and pay attention to the details. Let's talk about the plot, serious spoilers, people who have seen it can read and discuss with each other.
