Before watching it, I knew it was not a good movie, but I watched it anyway, after all, there are Chinese people in it.
In the case of a serial killer, one is caught, and there are accomplices outside, and I don't know who the next victim is - "vulgar" is just one word! The way of killing is very fresh and cruel enough, but the director is very lazy. Many cruel scenes are just clicked. Exactly how the hook is inserted into the muscle, it is not clear to see, people hanging by the hook are mostly in the long-range, and the close-up is lacking. That kind of weight-bearing feeling, after all, it will take a lot of time and money to do it well. But the whole film only took a few bloody teeth, and the eye hooks and blood droplets that were used in "A Clockwork Orange" decades ago were perfunctory, and I am really sorry to consumers.
The picture is not cruel enough, what about the story? As I said before, vulgar. After seeing half of it, you can guess that it is close to ten. Fortunately, the screenwriter also came up with an allusion of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". After talking for a long time, he said that the victims are not necessarily four people. What? Isn't that slapping yourself in the face? Saying that a lot of serial killers are trying to attract attention, they take a clumsy turn to talk about the most common theme.
As for the performance of the film, it was a disaster. Dennis Quaid plays the middle-aged father who lost his wife. That look is perfect without acting. In fact, it is a bit dull when actually acting, and the expression of pain is very formulaic. No wonder he has been in the second and third line for so many years. Zhang Ziyi's awkward accent was put aside for now, and she was always trying very hard to show evil, but she had no temperament and no acting skills. Alas, it doesn't matter if it's almost as good as it is in the country, and it's embarrassing to go abroad to go abroad. It seems that in the future, it will only be possible to act in this level of film.
