This film could have been better

The rating of this film is too low, it should be around 7.6. It is true that the transformation of the protagonist is a major flaw. If the parts of car chases and gunfights can be reduced in the film (I fast-forward these sections) and used to shape the psychological struggle of the protagonist, the characters will be fuller.

The protagonist is not immune to this transformation. Imagine that a selfish father can see another who chooses to give up his life for his daughter to stand up again. This kind of shock is not enough to change a person, so tell me what can be done.

Of course, limited to three reasons, this film can only be reduced to a third-rate commercial film: First, Ryan Reynolds' acting skills must still be tempered; Second, Hollywood commercial films are destined to be impossible to focus too much on characterization; Third, pure the screenplay of the film, rather than being adapted from a more literary novel, where the ceiling is placed

    Clashing creativity, genre, actor, and schedule... This film and Ultrain can be mixed into another movie for 48 hours, called "Guess Who Are You?"...

    Chinese translation is too violent

  • Damian: You say I'm the reason you got into this business? Now I'm the reason you're out.
