There are such a group of people who are powerless in reality, but after the keyboard, they become Terminators!
Who is this talking about?
That's right, keyboard warrior!
Do you think they are hateful?
This can be called the first action movie of 2020. It is a bad breath for us. It is:
Halfway Gunner/Wear Gun at Waist
The film, directed by Jason Lee Howerton, was released in the United States on February 28, 2020.
If you want to say why you are attracted to this film, a big reason is naturally due to the attention-grabbing starring lineup.
The actor Daniel Radcliffe , starring in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in 2001, has become popular all over the world, and in 10 years, 8 movies have played from children to adults. Since then, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" ' became his pronoun.
Daniel, a child actor, is now 30 years old and wants to tear the code name apart after the Harry Potter series is over.
From the extreme survival in the thrilling jungle in "The Jungle", the FBI undercover against terrorists in "Absolute Reign", to the scientific wizard villain in "Now You See Me 2".
Every film is constantly breaking the audience's inherent impression of him, and this time he wants to throw away the label, so how did he do in "Halfway Gunner"?
We will talk about it later, and here we will talk about two very outstanding post-90s heroines.
The first is the Knicks played by Samara Weaving, who is young and has super-powerful firepower, which ordinary people can't resist.
Starring in "The Big Riot", "Hot Nanny" and "Are You Ready", each one is bloodier than the other.
The second is Liu Chengyu, a Chinese-Italian half -blood . As Michelle Yeoh's apprentice, she made her debut from Xueping in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Qingming".
Remember the police officer Chen Ying in "Detective Chinatown 2"?
The main characters are all gathered, it's time to start the story.
The film mainly tells about Miles, played by Daniel, who is one of the programmers who designed a brainless mobile game like "Happy Xiao Xiaole".
In reality, he was a coward. He was trained by the boss to catch fish at work, spit out fragrance in the online world, scolded Fang Qiu, and was invincible all over the world.
Yes, the male protagonist of the film is a typical keyboard warrior .
In his steady output of swear words every day, one day he finally provoked a big man in the live game industry, and the big man threw out Miles' IP address without saying a word.
As you must have guessed, according to the IP address, the big guys found Miles' home.
Kicked the door, Miles was beaten, and really beat the keyboard man along the network cable, what a cool word!
And what happened next was unexpected. It turned out that the real identity of these bigwigs was a live reality show organization composed of underground gangs - Skim.
The group finds various criminals and lunatics at random into reality shows, monitoring their deathmatch through ubiquitous cameras and drones.
And the male protagonist who was stunned and anesthetized by the members of Skim welded the pistol to his hand with tools such as nails.
That is called a bloody violence, it hurts to look at, you taste.
At this point, the halfway gunman was born, and the live broadcast of the "Chicken Eater" game officially started!
No more spoilers, let's take a look at the three highlights of this film .
First, the gunfight, car chase, hand-to-hand explosion, and the screen full of ketchup are too cool.
Miles, who was forced to join Skim's live broadcast, was chased by the game's number one killer, the heroine Knicks.
As soon as the Knicks appeared, they had two pistols on the left and right, machine guns on their bodies, and swept the five scumbags.
Thick black eyeliner, wild and unruly hair, evil smile on the mouth, enough punk enough rock enough violence.
As I said earlier, Miles is a coward. Seeing such a female devil, he would not kneel and run away.
As a result, the two started a wonderful chase.
Miles was driving in front of the car, and Knicks was chasing after him on a motorcycle, not forgetting to fill in the gun midway.
The Knicks even jumped into the car on a motorcycle. The front was hard, and the two cars collided, and one must be injured!
After the Knicks and Miles formed an alliance, they went deep into Skim's old cave, causing blood and blood, especially the hand-to-hand battle between the girl and the strong man.
At first, he couldn't do a strong man, but he kicked and kicked him again, and his nose was blue and his face was swollen with a hammer, and his fingers were cut in two.
After taking the medicine, the Knicks came back to life with full blood and beat up the fierce man. It was a hearty one.
There was also a gas canister that was accidentally detonated. The explosion scene struck and two people were blown away.
It can be said that the action scenes of this film are one after another, and the accelerator is stepped on to the end, which makes the adrenaline soar.
It's like drinking 6 bottles of Red Bull, every second is refreshing!
Second, the fast and slow editing is full of rhythm, with a unique game comic style.
The film is not a simple action thriller, and the tone is different from the beginning.
The beginning is a 2D combined 3D face animation, saying "fuck life".
In the process of fighting, combining fast motion and slow motion close-up, close-up has sparks from the muzzle, ketchup is floating, the kneecap is shot through, and there is a room in the long-range that the minions are turned over.
The fist slammed into the face, and it was not blood, but the keys of the keyboard.
The hammer swung up and even showed X-rays of body parts as the bones broke.
The theme of the film is the immersive setting like a "chicken eating" game, the avatar battle mode, the record ranking, and the electronic virtual display of the bullet stock.
The comic-style storyboards brought by the fast and slow editing, the golden songs one after another, and the colorful scenes, the game comic style is blowing.
It can be said that whether the film is a shootout, a car chase scene, or a hand-to-hand combat, the whole film is very smooth.
Third, full of bad jokes and jokes, full of details.
Our male protagonist, Miles, was disheveled as soon as he appeared, wearing shorts and two hairy legs, slumped on the sofa, drinking Coke with two straws, and didn't even bother to stretch his hands.
Isn't this just like a dead fat house!
Every day in front of the computer screen to point the country, nothing to fantasize about flirting with his ex-girlfriend, the protagonist exudes a sense of Luther's joy.
The funniest thing is that when Miles both hands were welded with pistols by the big guy, he woke up in panic and accidentally fired, breaking the "First Blood" poster.
The game background sound "FIRST BLOOD" should be here!
Losing Xiao Zuo Xiao You, I can only use my nose to swipe my mobile phone. It is very difficult to pee. I ask a homeless person to help me get dressed, and pick up an old hot dog that has been poking on the ground for a long time.
Explosive pulp like flying, vomit vomit.
I went to the company and asked my colleague to help me remove the location. I couldn't get the phone out of my trouser pocket. I lied that my hand was stuck in my clothes pocket and asked my colleague to take it out.
"It's so deep, it still has the temperature of your thighs."
Emma, how can there be a hint of love.
Miles, who was often scolded when he fished, was caught by his boss again.
You don't force me, just force me - pull out two big pistols!
"Every time I come in, you make fun of me, because I go to my mother's funeral and you deduct my salary, and you tease my girlfriend in front of me, I'm fed up with you and your mess!"
Boom boom two shots passed, the boss was headshot, very happy~
The game here is going to be turned upside down, and the colleague over there is listening to dynamic music with headphones without knowing it at all. The strength is explained:
"Put on your headphones and the world is yours."
Moreover, the audience watching Skim's live broadcast is also a show, and a group of naked gays have a strong visual sense.
In addition to the three characteristics mentioned above, the film also has a certain degree of practical significance.
In reality, violence is unacceptable. Miles, who is a vegetarian, is a keyboard warrior with swear words on the Internet. This is simply a kind of irony.
"I don't know when I came out without looking at my phone. It turned out that everything looked so high-definition."
Involuntarily, he was thrown into Skim, looked at the smoky comment area, and scolded at the surveillance camera:
"You are all beasts. You like to watch others suffer. If you didn't watch them, they wouldn't exist at all."
Brightly satirizing unlimited live broadcasts and reality shows!
In the end, as the male protagonist, Skim grew up after being punished in his own way, and finally established a goal:
Eliminate Skim and work for world peace!
The ex-girlfriend even published this super-English comic of "Halfway Gunner", and it seems that there can be many sequels and derivatives.
What can't be ignored is that many details of the film can't stand scrutiny, the narrative of easily defeating the villain in the second half is also a bit broken, and the CG production is also slightly false.
However, as a cool action film, the film is based on the contemporary online world and staged a brain-opening action comedy R-rated story.
It's creative and interesting, simple and rude, and it's over. What bike do you want!
The previous question can be answered here. Generally speaking, the hero who released himself has performed very well as a transformational work.
Finally able to tear off the "Harry Potter" label, don't forget, his name is Daniel Radcliffe.
Don't be a keyboard warrior, come out and do it!
