'm old!!" The story is not enough to sell (01/18/2013 Edwards Alhambra 14)
. Seriously, when was the governor's last movie featuring the protagonist? Not counting the soy sauce scene in "The Expendables"/"The Expendables 2", it should be the "Terminator 3" of 2003, 10 years! The Republican Schwarzenegger actually served as the governor of California for two terms in the Democratic Party's iron vote warehouse, and his reputation is not bad. So after seeing the 66-year-old governor’s face that can’t be covered by heavy makeup on the big screen, the governor fans don’t need to care too much about the quality of the movie. The promise of'll be back' is worth the fare, not to mention the gossip that in 2013, the governor will also bring in the director of "Fast and Furious 5" Lin Yibin to dedicate "Terminator 5" (4 Where?). If it weren’t for the governor’s long-term persistent pursuit of acting, we can only understand: the governor’s divorce alimony to his ex-wife and children due to extramarital affairs and illegitimate child lawsuits is too high, so he can only hold on to his old body and continue to shine and make money. Check out.
The story of the movie is that Gabriel Cortez, the leader of a Mexican drug cartel, was robbed by his accomplices passing through Las Vegas while being transferred by the FBI. He drove a superb sports car along Interstate 95 all the way south through the small town of Sommerton in Arizona and wanted to cross the United States and Mexico. The border returned to Mexico. The FBI leader played by Forest Whitaker (yes! The Oscar actor who played Amin in "The Last Dictatorship") has repeatedly failed in the pursuit. The town can only be led by the old police officer Ray (the governor) who resigned from LAPD. The policemen on the sniped the big boss Gabriel Cortez and the drug dealer Burrell who responded to him (Peter Stormare is familiar? He is the black boss in "Prison Break"). The town’s folk customs are simple and honest, and the villagers are gentle, courteous, frugal and conciliatory. Even the new policemen who wanted to make a career and join LAPD after entering the post were so 2, and inexplicably broke into the gang's border bridging site to take their lives.
There are a lot of cute and hilarious sections in the film. For example, the governor's hand-to-hand combat, the gangster smashed the glass and fell on the shop floor. Everyone asked: "How are you, sheriff?" "How are you?" (How are you) , sheriff? Old!!); Another example is the governor's hand-to-hand combat drug lord Gabriel Cortez on the last bridge. The drug lord asks: "There are 1,200 people who illegally enter the United States from Mexico every day, but now I want to go back to Mexico and you won't let it? "; There is also Beep, a young man with a dogskin hat who joined the resistance team with enthusiasm. He wanted to cut down a street lamp and used it as a barricade, but he had to climb up and tear the wire off. The most incomprehensible piece was the Beep youth. When the bullets were helpless, only the flare gun was stubbornly resisting. When the flare was fired, it actually detonated the bomb on the drug dealer and successfully counterattacked. The director Jin Zhiyun's love for ketchup plasma and small cult plots that appear from time to time also have the shadow of Quentin Tarantino.
After talking about the highlights, in fact, from the point of view of pure movie-watching experience, except for the governor’s hard-working and silly role-playing and cute-selling short stories, the entire movie-watching experience is actually very awkward. In many cases, it seems that if it is not for the occasional reminder on the big screen, it is difficult to convince the audience that this is a complete and smooth story. The director's grasp of the film's narrative rhythm is very unhurried. The two independent narrative clues of Las Vegas and Sommerton are unusually disconnected in rhythm. Even if it is specific to one of the clues, such as the plot of the Las Vegas prisoner's escape, a coherent and tense story suddenly slowed down after a successful escape, full of drug lords who drifted away from the plot, pretending to be clever and showing off The minutiae. In addition, the script is very vague and emotionally confused as to whether the policewoman who was kidnapped in this clue is a ghost or not, and when the drug lord was thrown away and caught after a passionate kiss, the narrative of the actress is very vague and emotional. They are all very divided and strange; returning to the narrative clues of the small town of Sommerton, the story of the drug dealer who blocked the drag racing and the fire splicing team is also unusual. It feels like the audience will smile at every small section, which is very interesting, and every time the plot turns and the part is carried on, it feels strange as if they don’t know what went wrong. At the same time, the poster watched "The Hunt for Osama Bin Laden" last week, not to mention the content, only the narrative skills and the rhythm of the film. Compared with the "Back to the Water", it is basically like a piece of independent wonderful small fragments awkwardly stitched together.
No matter how the film technology progresses and evolves, how the 3D effect is dazzling and dazzling, the IMAX giant screen super screen or the dome screen, for the film itself, lacks narrative coherence and completeness, time is actually the most ruthless for ingenious tricks. Audiences can watch this movie for these little tricks, but if someone asks about this movie after half a year, my answer can only be "The governor will appear in love, and the rhythm is very awkward."
