Trust no Hollywood - "Babylonian Age" Film Review

I was very intrigued by the first sight of the conflict scene where Tullop was dealing with the Gorowski mercenaries. Who knows, the more I look back, the more inexplicable the film becomes. After the scene is moved to New York, the explanation of the film will be pure and simple. It has become a mahjong that does not depend on four or six - it is completely unclear whether there is a match or not. I can't help it. If I want to know the result, I have to stick to it until the moment of "waiting for the last line to finish before the curtain falls."

It is reasonable to say that it is produced by a Hollywood company, with digital special effects and hot scenes. This should be a movie with more Hollywood characteristics, but if you think about it carefully, almost all of these movies have Hollywood characteristics, such as sportsmen, beauties, nuclear weapons, chase Killing, fighting, assassination, intrigue, religion, and even the oriental elements and Russian gangsters that have been very popular with audiences in the past two years are all included. Made into a pie is not a pie, Pizza is not Pizza's garbage.

A leaky and leaky script, with a plot that could not stand scrutiny, sent the protagonists directly across China from Central Asia to Canada. sky! I really admire these little cooks. He is too capable. Could it be possible to shorten the real time and space in the future world by stealing the screen capture technology of the iPhone? If so, why let Tullop escort the heroine to New York through all kinds of perils? Might as well let the omnipotent Gorowski send the heroine directly to New York. In this case, I can at least endure the slander and ridicule of the Russians by the Americans, and take a solid look at a new version of American beauty and American blockbuster of the Russian beast.

It's a pity that the writers and directors didn't, it seems they really wanted to add some Chinese elements to this hodgepodge, so they put Michelle Yeoh in, yes, the word "insert" is not a misnomer, because such a There is no irreplaceable reason to support Zhang Dongfang's face in this film.

With the development of the plot, it was originally thought that Michelle Yeoh would have a relationship with Tullop, or that she would have a shocking secret with the heroine's life experience, but these speculations became empty when Michelle Yeoh was suddenly shot and died. I really don't understand how arranging such a Chinese nun will help the plot? For martial arts? The film did not give Michelle Yeoh any weighty martial arts scenes. Is it for acting? It seems that Yang himself is not an acting Chinese star. Then why is Michelle Yeoh inserted? I really can't find a reason to convince myself.

As for the design of the heroine's father, it is equally puzzling. I thought that in the middle of the film, a heavyweight character appeared, and a good show was about to be staged. Who would have guessed that a few minutes later he was shot to death by the cult leader. Hey, what's the point of this arrangement?

The choice of other actors is also very interesting.

The male number one is very similar to Herry of the Premier League Arsenal team, but his appearance is comparable to that of Bruce Willis. The female lead is also sometimes mistaken for Milla Jovovich in "The Fifth Element", and the two are almost in the sequel to "The Fifth Element". In a trance, I just thought this, the people jumping up and down in the disco made me feel like I was rewatching "Area 13", but the snow escape through the Canadian border immediately made me think I was rewatching "007" "Golden Eyes" from the series.

I originally came to watch such a film for entertainment, but I didn't realize that I ended up feeling like I had eaten a pot of unbearable hodgepodge, which made me feel like I was stumped, and I couldn't sit still. In the film, the hero once said: 'Trust no man.' I think it is appropriate to make some modifications to use it at the end of this article, that is: 'Trust no Hollywood.'
