"Parker": an old routine with little innovation

Once upon a time, the old-fashioned American action movies have long been inferior to one generation. Under the circumstances that newcomers can't catch up, and old people are not innovative, there are fewer and fewer action movies to watch. The "Expendables" series, led by Stallone, is catching up with the nostalgic style, making the old American action movies popular again, and it has also spawned the resurgence of a large number of old action movies. But everyone was only three minutes of nostalgic enthusiasm, which was exhausted in an instant, and it was difficult to continue to applaud the old comrades. From Stallone's "Headshot" to Tom's "Jack Reacher" and Liam Neeson's "Hurricane Rescue 2", to the fifth episode of the "Die Hard" series that began in 1988, It was horrific to watch, and it made everyone feel embarrassed. If the 007 series can barely support a few days with its great popularity and historical origin, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" returns to the big screen in the name of mayor to win everyone's curiosity, then "Disc" Impossible 4" can only rely on its own naval operation to boost the weak popularity.

However, this doesn't mean that American action movies are completely unwatchable. It's just that there are fewer and fewer old-fashioned action movies to watch, and the new sci-fi magic has become mainstream today. As long as you put on the future department of the magic department, no matter how brainless and mentally handicapped, you will be sought after by a large number of fans and fans, even if they have been sought after for ten years. 's dispute. If Mel Gibson's "Catch the Gringo" is an unexpected surprise, then British stalwart Jason Statham is one of the action stars to look forward to. It's a pity that Jason Statham, since "Very Trafficker", doesn't know whether it's because of bad luck or because of his acting skills, and he can't get any more works to be arrogant. I thought that the crazy momentum of "Rage Attack" could continue, making everyone's blood vessels swell to the limit. Since the dismal "Rage 2", there has been no following. Since "The Mechanic", "Iron Elite", "Fast Tracking" and "Temporary Report to Safety", Jason seems to be in a tepid state. There is no breakthrough and it is not too bad, just compared to Nicholas Kay. Uncle Qi is a lucky guy.

This time, "Parker", although the classic characters in the novels of the long-dead suspense novelist Donald Weslake were used to interpret it, it seems that there is not much improvement. Maybe times have really changed. It's not that the movie isn't good-looking or the plot isn't tortuous, it's just that everyone's tastes are different. Just like Wang Jing's movies, it becomes not Wang Jing, but the viewing level of the audience. The same works in different eras will produce completely different evaluation results. The criminal routine of old-fashioned androgynous gangsters, Jennifer Lopez of half-old milfs, has no appeal in the eyes of the new generation. Tom, who relied on the image of a handsome boy, was not very popular in the current era. Matt Damon has already insisted on writing scripts and making dramas by himself.
