Last Stand

I like the style of this film very much, simple and unpretentious, plain and passionate, Arnold is still not old, leading the people in the town to defeat evil and create another heroic legend. This is a typical genre film, with a modest narrative style, wave after wave of dramatic conflicts, all carried out in a very comfortable "rhythm" of people. However, the personality charm of the hero and the leisurely life of the small town are enough to attract people's attention and make people have to keep watching. This is the so-called "audience". Director Jin Zhiyun has a good grasp of this point and is experienced!
But from another point of view, if the film does not have Arnold to join, the overall effect will be greatly reduced. Such an old hero must be played in the image of Arnold to be the most appropriate, otherwise the whole film will lose its soul. Things are brought by the actor himself, just like Zhao Benshan is a feeling no matter what film he plays, but he also has the feeling of a character, which makes people unforgettable. This is the actor's greatest success.
Of course, Arnold’s joining is a solid guarantee for the box office. The cost of such a movie must not be high, but on the one hand, it has won praise, and on the other hand, it has succeeded in the box office. What is needed is that there are more such movies, which are entertaining, commercialized, unpretentious, and down-to-earth storytelling, suitable for all ages, unlike some local movies that are so high and far from practical, we really should learn more from Hollywood Learning is not only its business model, but also the essence and mission of the film itself.

    A movie that is out of touch, Jackass hero + Schwarzenegger is worth one star.

    I don't know the point of laughter at all, only that a man in the front row giggled frantically all the way. The popcorn slices that I forget after watching it, the car chase scene in the corn field is good.
