It seems that some people are still very nostalgic. Last year, the "Firewall" was introduced, and this year it is "16 Blocks". If "Rocky 6" is also introduced, the older generation of action stars will be almost complete. After all, Governor Shi will not be in the short term. will come back.
"16 Blocks" is much more pleasing to the eye than "Firewall". Bruce Willie is superior to Harrison Ford in that he must be old when he is old. The same lone hero, Lao Ha still has to show off his skills and fight against the young man. Lao Bu is much smarter, aren't we getting old, so we just played a drunk policeman with a lame leg and a beer belly. However, based on experience, all NYPD has been rinsed, and the success has shown a huge contrast. However, this is also the consistent style of Laobu's films. He always plays some small characters and big heroes, but it is more touching to connect this film with his age.
In terms of plot, "16 Blocks" is also fuller than "Firewall". The elements of action films are well mastered, such as one-man heroes, time-limited settings, gunfights, speeding cars and so on. Even, the film can also piggyback some debates about good and evil. Of course, it is not a literary film, so it is just a piggyback, not enough to move people, but it will not destroy the overall style of the film, just right. Lao Bu's sense of justice is not only expressed through fists and feet, but also the courage of self-salvation, high, really high. The ending also played some tricks, people can't guess, the screenwriter has intentions.
It's a policeman and a dirty policeman again, and it affects the image of the policeman.
