I've seen bad, I've never seen such bad

1. This movie is actually an Oliver Stone movie! I can't really see it.

2. The structure of the story is very precise, and Stone's rhythm is also well mastered.

3. I like this dark crime story very much, but unfortunately there are not many such films.

4. Sean Pan was very handsome when he was young. He still didn't like Jennifer Lopez, and always thought she was not good-looking.

5. The appearance of the repairman is really classic and unforgettable.

6. As the title says, the male protagonist is too unlucky to be added.

7. There are almost no good people in the film, a messy town.

    Pretty bullshit. Sean Penn and Jennifer Lopez.

    After a string of biographies and war movies, Stone seemed to remember that he was from a horror-thriller background, so he tinkered with a road thriller to change his mood. I don't know if Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was inspired by the film, but Xu Zheng and Sean Pan are just the same unlucky bastards: being blackmailed at a gas station VS being blackmailed at a car repair shop, saving a prostitute Yu Nan VS saving The young girl Lopez also gradually went crazy. Stone used many wild animal images in "Born to Kill" to render the wildness of the western town and the jungle law of the jungle (the town is simply a gluttonous mug where all kinds of ruthless horns gather), editing and photography are also It is equally fierce, especially the cliffhanger in the second half and even the ending. The level of black humor is close to that of the Coen brothers of the same period. It would be better if the elements were simplified and the rhythm tightened a little bit. In 1997, Sean Penn played the role of the planner in "Mind Game" and the player in "No U-turn". The situation is very interesting. Lopez is the usual femme fatale in similar movies, and I don't recognize Thornton as the mechanic at all.

    Bobby: I think you're a lying, backstabbing, psycho bitch... and one day you'll kill me. But it's nice to know you care.

  • Blind Man: Things ain't always what they seem. You gotta ask yourself: Is it worth it? Cause the day comes: The Earth Maker is gonna come down and look right in your fucking heart. And then you better know what it is you're doing. Are you a human being or just some hungry ghost out there?
