Hero is late

I don't miss any of Al Pacino's and Robert De Niro's films. Even if this film is bad, I have to watch it because of these two godlike actors. But this movie...the fast editing, the flickering lines, the inexplicable death, the many times the camera shakes the camera, it's all very uncomfortable, and you know it's a fast food movie from the beginning. The director directed the film to the type of "Spy in the Sea", and wanted to set up suspense and excitement, but it was a waste of the talents of Lao Pa and Lao Luo. Compared with the classic and delicate portrayal of the two in the masterpiece "Pirates of Fire" , this film is really a failure.
First of all, I feel that there is a problem with the role selection. De Niro is often stern and sophisticated, suitable for all kinds of characters with complex personalities, but in the film, he is a simple, paranoid and rude person; Al Pacino is a famous explosive actor, often A speech and one action can bring tears to the eyes, but here is the combination of honesty and pervert. It's not that these two people played badly, but in the presence of De Niro and Papa at the same time, it's really awkward to let De Niro play the rough buddy and let Papa evolve, and it's not good to change the roles.
Secondly, the director can create suspense so that everyone can't guess the ending, but this requires complete clues and no logical errors to make the audience entertained. The design here is too abrupt, and if you look closely, there will be many loopholes.
In the end, although Lao Pa and Lao De are gods in my heart, but seeing them in their 70s still selling meat and chasing after them, watching De Niro have sex with a big belly, watching Lao Pa's hoarse and weak roar, I really can't stand it anymore. . . Their age is only suitable for performing literary films, and action suspense films should be handed over to the next generation.
