The cinema has not yet opened in July, and only Netflix has satisfied my little hobby of indulging in murderous and violent movies.
This new action flick with the theme of immortality, starring Queen Charlize Theron, is full of gimmicks. The film tells the story of a female warrior named Andy who leads a close-knit, secretive group of mercenaries with mysterious undead who fight for centuries to protect the mortal world. But when the team is hired on an emergency mission, their unusual abilities are suddenly exposed, and they rely on Andy and newly added soldier Nair to help the team eliminate the brilliance of those who would unscrupulously replicate and profit from their abilities. threat.
There are many classic movies with the theme of immortality. The causal conflict between eternal time and desolation and loneliness can form a philosophical proposition, and different directors have different expressions. In the candlelight gossip, it is now possible to wear an action drama to tell the super soldier with the ability to defy the sky, shouting to protect the world and maintain the peace of the earth.
The director of this film has a lot of ambitions, he wants both literary, drama and martial arts, and finally formed a setting of five people who have immortality but are trapped in pain and depression. They evade supervision in panic, and save everyone when they stop. . Therefore, if some fans come to watch this film with the impression of the handsome Theron in "Furious Road", it may be easy to be suffocated by her sad eyes.
Theron is not old, and the figure is in the skill. The action scenes of this movie are expected to use Theron as the main output of force, but the action design is quite special. The boss holds a gun in one hand and a knife in one hand, and shoots accurately in the other hand with the swinging axe. It is used both in ancient and modern times. Fast editing but quick action, which I like. And the most favorite fighting plot is her confrontation with the new black girl on the plane, the same strength, flexibility and balance, with the same type of attraction and repulsion between the same sex. win.
Netflix now has a big business and countless boutiques, and it has also formed an industrialized assembly line. This movie basically belongs to this. But occasionally there is a sense of novelty that the sword is slanted, so I can still leave a little insight: sometimes it is not because of cowardice, but because of pain to prove that I am still alive.
