This is such an "old-fashioned" police and gangster movie.
If it wasn't for the air conditioner in the theater to be too cold, I would really fall asleep several times.
It’s hard to believe that in a movie theater in 2020, you will see such a police action movie in the style of the 1990s. Drag racing, blasting, heavy weapon bombardment, highly saturated color grading, and noisy electronic music. Slow motion everywhere, and self-proclaimed humorous but not funny dialogue.
The director thinks he has added some hacker and drone elements to the movie, even if it is advancing with the times, but the whole movie is still applying the action movie that Michael Bay is famous for. It is as boring as unseasoned assembly line cans, everywhere. With exhaustion and fatigue, I completely ignore the extent to which new-age action movies have been innovated by the "Fast and Furious", "Mission Impossible" and "Ace Agents" series.
I am not only exhausted from creation, but also the state of the characters in the movie. The whole story is "elderly" jokes. "Retirement" has become the biggest topic throughout the movie.
Compared to Martin Lawrence, who has gained weight for several laps and has no sense of existence in the movie, Will Smith is still doing well, but 25 years have passed since the first "Jedi Men". Martin Lawrence became a grandfather. , Shi Huang inevitably became a father. Although he is still trying to maintain a state of youth and invincibility, he is indeed no longer young.
Given that the plot of the movie is so boring, there is no need to worry about spoilers at all. The biggest gimmick on the screenwriter of this movie, in addition to the totally funny gag, also buried an ultimate reversal. Well, it's a low-profile version of "Gemini Killer". After watching this movie, you must admit that the evaluation of Ang Lee’s failure to tell the story is really unfair.
Poor Will Smith can't escape being trapped by his son in and out of the play. From 1995, he was born with the first "Jedi Men" to become one of the highest-grossing male stars in Hollywood, and now the tide is declining, and the limelight is no longer there. Three "Jedi Men" have witnessed his rise and fall. Curve. Baiyun Canggu, the world is ruthless.
In general, the film's nearly two-hour length of time has been filled with serious water, and a lot of uninteresting plot and dialogue are flooded in it. Cut it in half, and it should be better to cut it to 70 minutes.
However, the movie as a whole is getting better, and the entertainment is gradually improving with the advancement of the plot. Chasing the night scene and the final battle can be regarded as defending the level of the entire series. It is very visible and has a strong sense of adrenal stimulation in the 1990s. It's worth half a movie ticket. Of course, the final confession drama that came out still ruined everything. It was bloody, old-fashioned, long-winded, and extremely destructive. A police film showing off explosions will steadily kill the Quartet, and less talk about the future of old friends, relatives and friends.
Seeing that in the end, we still have to pave the way for the sequel, the father and son soldiers, just like the previous "Die Hard", this is probably the inevitable fate of all classic action movies. It is not Martin Lawrence and Will Smith who really want to serve the old, but Jack Brumheimer and Michael Bay who have been hiding behind the scenes for decades.
