This is a decently entertaining movie, with a car scene on the wilderness road, a gunfight in the Mexican prison, a typical exotic criminal style, some small conspiracies, small activities and small explosions, some small ingenuity, small emotions and small tensions . It's on the passing line, neither too bad nor too prominent, like Mel Gibson's old, ravine face hidden in a crowded Mexican prison unfamiliar and unnoticed, neither Being envied and hated is not envied by others, ordinary and ordinary. Apart from Gibson, there are no attractive casts, a crowd of strangers who don't aim at the eyeballs. It doesn't seem to have much ambition from the beginning, so the handling of the plot, the exploration of conflicts, the depth of feelings, the building of feelings, the collision between big men and little boys are not very carefully portrayed, it is just Let me tell you, this is the most chaotic prison in Mexico, an American was brought in, there was a little boy who wanted to avenge his father, there was a young woman who was still pretty, and there was a big guy in a nightgown, As well as a bunch of less successful men, of course, there are also some underworld bosses, business bosses and official gangsters from the United States and Mexico.
Speaking of which, just looking at the characters you sang and I appeared in, this movie shouldn't be too bad. It's just that the cast is not enough, and the third-rate actors don't take it seriously, just like the Gibson in the movie. After pulling a woman on the street to help him dial the public phone, he still had to struggle with her for a few dollars. The appearance of the characters one by one ensures that the film can move forward through the intervention of other contradictions when one contradiction cannot develop. Of course, with so many characters showing up in just 90 minutes, most of the effect is just to let Gibson Keep going, keep going, they become his backdrop.
In fact, the movie's little ingenuity is good in some places. For example, stealing Indians' money, cigarettes and watches, setting fire to steal doctors' money, designing a public phone for a businessman and an underworld boss, and finally designing his original partner to steal his woman, these are all good, and they are satisfactory when taken out alone. . If you don't investigate carefully, you won't care too much. Set fire to steal the doctor's money, such an obvious line of fire, how can others not find it? How could he let a little boy see all of his agility and speed? How did he know the doctor's money was in that jar on top of the cupboard? Designing two big bosses with a public phone, is it so easy to be fooled? There are many others that are not quite in the past. With the strength of the prison boss, why do you have to perform a transplant operation in the prison at the last minute? etc.
Of course, these designs are deliberate, and they need to ensure that the movie is enjoyable and dramatic. Take the transplant of the big guy, at the most critical moment, it just happened to focus all the conflicts on one point. The police attacked constantly. The transplant will be completed. Gibson needs to complete the journey from the United States to Mexico in the shortest time. Going to the prison to find the surgery site and subduing all the bad guys to complete the rescue mission. This series of scene requirements ensures the viewing quality of the movie, but the logic alone cannot satisfy the more serious audience. Of course, due to the rough design of the action, it is not so satisfying to the audience who have already been eye-catching and picky.
For such a movie that has never been in theaters, charged through cable TV, and released directly to DVD, there is a little emotion, a little action scene, a little trembling, a little splendid, and a little eye-catching. A little raises the subcutaneous temperature, and a little sigh is enough.
It's just that we can no longer see Gibson with the sword in "Braveheart", can no longer hear his hoarse "Freedom!", can no longer see his muscles in the hail of bullets.
His time is over before we are ready, people always get old.
