A very watchable sci-fi commercial film

First of all, I have to say that this is a commercial movie. It has many gimmicks of Hollywood commercial movies, such as sci-fi, blood, violence, friendship, marital crisis and so on. The film eventually led to unanimous bad reviews, which I personally think has something to do with this business model. For a commercial film, the time limit cannot exceed 120 minutes. This is the Hollywood model. More than 120 minutes will affect the box office. Because of this, many things in the film seem to be unclear enough.

Secondly, the performance of the actors, from the point of view, is wonderful, but in the whole film, the characters are inconsistent and illogical. For example, why did Whitaker want to hurt his own hair? There is no plausible reason. Whittaker and Law, although close friends, are not partners. Federal corporate agents are on separate missions. What caused Whitaker to have to need Lowe by his side? The director didn't say it, the actor didn't act, or the actor acted but was cut by the director?

Once again, the ending that has been praised by many people is actually the most unjustifiable. The ending is a good idea, if the scene at the end is mixed into an organ graveyard - the place where Lowe was stunned for the fourth time in his life, which is where he met the singer covered with artificial organs. The scene is changed to There, and Whitaker expresses it, and he pays for the cost of Lowe's heart and the M5 system. The logic of the film is clear, because the laxity in the second half of the film can become Luo's dream under the M5 system. Dreams are inherently scattered, illogical, and inexplicable in reality. Unfortunately, at the end, it was not a dream, but the part of the dream just walked into the red door. Many people think the ending is wonderful, that's because the second half of the film makes people look very hopeless. If there is no disappointment, how can there be a surprise?

Then someone asks why you can abandon a wife and children or something for a woman whose genitals are artificial. In fact, if you know a little about American culture, you should know that many Americans only get married when their children grow up. Getting married involves many legal obligations. It's part of American culture. In the movie, Luo and the child's mother are not married, so the child's mother is just his girlfriend. He doesn't want to leave because of the child. Because of work, he has no time to accompany the child, and his feelings for the child are suppressed in his heart. Of course, the same is true of children. Children also yearn to get along with their father more and suppress their feelings. Otherwise, it can't be explained that when Luo quarreled with the child's mother, the child shot his mother unconscious.

Then, in order to make Luo confront the Federal Corporation, the film arranges for him to fall in love with the organ girl. Because of her organs, her hearing is superhuman, and her eye crystals and irises can change (this is in contradiction with the need to stun Levi to enter the headquarters, and then use his iris to open the door. The first door is opened by Levi, and the second direct organ is opened by the woman, Then why don't they use organs directly?)

Then, I would like to ask whether artificial organs can be equipped with positioning systems? When the right to life and the right to property conflict, the law often stipulates that the right to property should give way to the right to life, so isn't the killing stunt of this movie against the law and ethics? The movie says: Without these organs, he would have died long ago, so recycling organs is not murder. But how do you define life and death? After changing organs, is it the cat that lives and dies?
In the last part of the video, the two scan organs. I was looking forward to the scanning gun sticking into the crotch of the organ girl, but unfortunately it didn't. But, despite that, don't you think Lo had sex when he scanned the organ girl's abdominal cavity? If this kind of sexual taste is highlighted, the film will have a climax.


All in all, the polishing is not fine enough, but it is still very watchable, at least it can attract you to watch it all the time, and you will not change the stage when you see it in the middle.
