Compared with our domestic audience, "Red Police Dragon" can basically be enjoyed as an old-fashioned Hong Kong film. There are neither carefully crafted pictures nor dazzling special effects, but there is just a feeling of an old guy and his ambitions for thousands of miles. Stallone's interpretation of the image of a killer character that is both good and evil, rough and fine, also solemn and harmonious, serious and playful, calm and free and easy, just cut a few bridges, you can deeply realize that this old guy is definitely not the same era as us. of. The overall picture is dark in color, rough in lines, matched with old background sound effects, punching to the flesh, all like a B-level CULT film. Today's films of the same type can only be found in the colors of Quentin Tarantino, who has been sticking to his position, which is quite rare.
From the beginning of the chapter, there is a pressing momentum of single-handedness, stereotyped plot mode, full of blood, full of tendon flesh, all turned into brainless revenge. Although this model has long since become obsolete, it is indeed a spiritual enjoyment to see Stallone in his twilight years being able to fight like this. If it is said that he is the most capable old guy at the moment, I don't think it is an exaggeration. Bruce Willis is "on the verge of death". Not only does he accept all the bad films, but he is also unequivocal in the soy sauce. Even the most dazzling "Die Hard" series, it really can't resist the fourth part. How many heavy blows, pulling a young adult by hand, fooling around and getting through. Liam Neeson has always boasted that he is very good at playing, but "Hurricane Rescue 2" alone has greatly weakened the action drama, running out of breath, and the rest is just to open the "Sharpshooter" plug-in in the audience. If these two old guys are too old to be convincing, then let's take a look at Tom Cruise. Compared with these predecessors, he can always be regarded as a younger generation. However, apart from the "Mission: Impossible 4", if it weren't for the contribution of science and technology to the primary productive force, he would still only be able to return to the line of "martyrs with strong hearts in their old age". It can be seen from this, what is the point of sighing about the so-called unbearable plots in "Red Police Power Dragon". Old guys, it's really not easy. The "Rocky" series written, directed and acted by Stallone can make six films, and the "First Blood" series is about to make the fifth film. What a powerful spiritual effect, What more can we expect from him.
It is worth mentioning that the Korean star Kang Sung Ho is indeed the highlight of the film, especially his soy sauce role in the "Fast and Furious" series, and he will still appear in the sixth film that will be released in mainland China. He made the most of the role that Asian actors are best at controlling in Hollywood. Of course, the director and the screenwriter "contributed" to this. It's not to slander the value of Asian actors, it's just that when Hollywood movies were at their peak, Asian actors were indeed acting as gag, cute and rotten elements. Almost all of the ultimate Hollywood blockbusters will have Asian actors shuttled through them. They are both a flavoring agent and a glue, and they are all indispensable elements. In this film, Kang Sung-ho took responsibility for most of the complaints, and the spirit of sacrifice is worthy of recognition. Interestingly, the film is also sloppy and goes to great lengths to mock his role as a police officer. A BlackBerry is in the world, and the phone is always in hand. The interrogation prisoners still read according to the script, the whole Google emperor; when confronting Stallone, he was perfectly reduced to a complete sissy; Looking at the carcass, he still doesn't know about the mess; the most worthy of complaining is that he has no ability, and Yelang's arrogance acts as the embodiment of justice, which is surprising. The old guy really can't afford to offend him. The director can hold him to such a degree that he can't accept it.
Having said that, it's worth comparing it to Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" a while back. The same retired old guy, the old guy who returned to the movie world from politics, has far surpassed the old guy from the class. Although the action scene, "The Last Stand" is not outstanding, but in terms of story plot, special effects, or characterization, Arnold Schwarzenegger has opened up a lot of Stallone. If it weren't for the help of Jason Momoa, who plays the Dothraki leader Khalasa in "A Song of Ice and Fire", the true level of "Red Police Dragon" would have dropped a lot. Comparing it with a large-scale work such as "The Fall of the White House" is self-defeating and unfair, but at least it must achieve the entertainment effect of "Fast Revenge" and "Furious Speed". Stallone probably realized it too. At the end, he deliberately made fun of the most vulgar Ferrari, and while the audience was stunned, the strong feelings of the past also left the surrounding fans.
