The double-line narrative is the biggest highlight

Jackie Chan is a rare masterpiece in recent years. Some commented that they couldn't understand why the double-line narrative was used, but I secretly thought that this was the biggest highlight of the movie. Jackie Chan's main line is still the story of private revenge for children when the old-fashioned public power cannot help. Jackie Chan's kung fu scenes are not many, but just right. The highlight comes from Brosnan's deputy line. As Sinn Fein's deputy minister in the Northern Ireland government, Brosnan successfully demonstrated his dilemma in this position: as the leader of a party advocating the unity of the whole of Ireland, countless previous His comrades thought he had betrayed his previous career and was "loving rape". He must show his full cooperation in the face of the suspicious British government, but also prevent himself from being dragged down by comrades, wives, and mistresses who wish to rebel, and maintain the fragile Northern Ireland peace agreement and the power that the British government has brought him. , status and honor, this embarrassing situation and dilemma mentality are vividly displayed in the movie. But it is obviously difficult for this movie to be well received in China. For ordinary audiences who do not understand the historical backgrounds of Northern Ireland and European, American, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian backgrounds, the significance of the existence of Brosnan's sub-line is far less good than Jackie Chan's punching skills. The scores are generally unsurprising.

    Martin Campbell is really a great master. He made the best 007, the only dc that can be watched other than Batman, and this time he brought back the anti-establishment Jackie Chan.
