First, the subject matter of the film is not new, and the content is very old. A good movie always has a soul, and the content is the soul. As "Police Story", which has been filmed 6 times, the content is still not innovative, there is no fascinating suspense, and the story is far-fetched.
Mainly as follows:
First, the culprit of the whole story is a person who did not appear in the first 90 minutes of the story, suddenly popped out to reveal the mystery. And in less than 10 minutes of appearing, Jackie Chan recognized him as the boyfriend who made Xiaowei pregnant with just a simple tattoo. The audience waited for more than 90 minutes, without any complicated reasoning and investigation, Jackie Chan's "You are Xiaowei's boyfriend" solved the problem. This IQ, dear fellow, beats Sherlock Holmes in one fell swoop. Then the main contradiction of the whole story turns: Liu Ye's revenge is not so strong, and he wants to die after reaching the tunnel. The bomb that was originally filled in the bar also rang a few times, and the special police The magic weapon fell, and the hostage was rescued. The audience didn't understand what was going on, and the hero ran away.
Second, the conception of the story itself is unreasonable. For a truth that is not difficult to investigate in itself, such a big kidnapping action is made. It is estimated that CCTV reporters made an unannounced visit for four or five days to solve the problem. Look at the bar, it was transformed into a steel wall with bombs everywhere, and then a group of gangsters from Thailand kidnapped a group of passers-by A, passer-by, passer-by C in the case of negligent injury five years ago with the determination to die. .....In fact, for the audience, the characters in the plot do not know the reason for their kidnapping, which is a very good suspense. But when the audience found out that such a mysterious kidnapping was caused by an ordinary young man who enlarged the little girl's belly, it became boring. If "The Promise" is called "a bloody case caused by a steamed bun", can we call this film "the kidnapping after the belly is enlarged"?
Second, martial arts sucks. First of all, Jackie Chan's always-loved comedy style has been erased, the new style has not broken through, and there is no way to bring the plot to a climax. The new style focuses on emotional cards. When Jackie Chan was injured in many places, he relied on the shouting and cheering of the hostages. Secondly, the fighting scenes are extremely rare, which should be the most of Jackie Chan's movies over the years. The biggest martial arts scene is Jackie Chan's one-on-one battle with a Thai in an iron cage, and this scene was deliberately produced on the premise of a dispute with Liu Ye about how many hostages to take out. It is neither an "encounter", Nor is it "Armageddon", deliberate, and blunt.
Third, the actors suck.
No. 1 bad actor: Jing Tian, Tianzi No. 1 "box office poison". I have seen every movie in which Jing Tian has played the heroine, and all of them can be described as garbage. "Warring States", "Night in a Better and Better Village", "Special Status", balabalabala...... I would like to ask netizens, who knows who Jing Tian is? Under the hood, each film is worse than the other, and the co-actors are more advanced than each other. In the whole film, you only know how to cry. When you were at the Beijing Film Academy, did you not learn any other acting techniques to describe the father-daughter relationship besides crying? It's okay to learn from Deng Jiajia's hysterical howl while crying in "National Witness".
The second bad actor: Liu Yiwei. This is not Liu Yiwei's problem, but the director's problem. Liu Yiwei is a comedian. In such a serious police movie that depicts justice and evil, doesn't it feel very inappropriate to play a heinous real estate boss who owes migrant workers' wages? I don't know how other audiences feel. In short, when he speaks, I always think of 360 mobile phone advertisements, or "Love Call Transfer", which always makes me think that this method is exactly the same as Ge You's "Night Banquet". At the end, the director did not forget to ask Liu Ye to tease Liu Yiwei and slap those real estate bosses: "You drink two less bottles of wine and you'll pay people's wages", so you can stay in the cage honestly.
Bad Actor No. 3: The boyfriend who got Xiaowei pregnant. This trick is very good, and it does not show the image of a villain at all. It was originally a role that the director deliberately inserted. He speaks like drinking boiled water, and there is no sense of cadence. Are you holding a book back? lines? It is not difficult to understand how the box office of others came from looking at the pig Ganghene who played the trick in "Journey to the West". The funniest thing is that after you made Xiaowei's belly bigger, you dared to go undercover next to Xiaowei's brother. You really had the guts of a leopard. Well, I believe the director gave you the wrong tire.
Fourth, the screenwriter sucks. In fact, the screenwriter of this film is the director himself: "Ding Sheng", the king of commercials. After watching several films of Ding Sheng, I really can't say that he is good. "Tough Guy", "Little Soldier" and "Police Story 2013" are all self-written and directed, and each storyline is very blunt, and there is no fascinating plot at all. Brother Sheng, I really want to say that your ability to grasp the scene is really good, but don't you stop writing and directing it yourself? Can you hire a reliable screenwriter? Look at Chen Musheng, either ask someone to co-edit or copy someone else. Copy your meeting, right? Adapt "New SWAT Judge" like Brother Sheng adapted "Hold the Call", plus your superb directing ability, the box office will definitely be a hit. I believe you can definitely copy it. You can do it.
Fifth, I really don't understand why this movie was made in 3D? Brother, please respect the audience, wearing glasses and wearing glasses for more than 100 minutes is really uncomfortable, and the most important thing is that I don't see where the 3D effect is. In the future, if it can be shot in 2D, it will be shot in 2D. Why don’t you bring it with you?
Finally, let’s talk about the highlights of the movie. It really shows a good policeman. Our society lacks such a policeman: his wife was in a car accident, and he was still convincing the robber to put down the butcher’s knife; the robber went to prison to help him take care of his old mother; Liu Ye’s previous paragraph He wanted to kill him every second, but at the last moment he risked being hit by a train and rescued him from the rails. Think about the current public security situation in our society: if something is lost, only foreigners can get it back; a guy from Beijing went back to Hebei to get a passport and was kicked around by the grassroots police for more than three months; Disabled, and the petition failed to detonate the bomb at the Capital Airport; and the criminal policeman in Shenzhen who deliberately killed the suspect and forged evidence in order to make meritorious deeds.
Jackie Chan is telling the society in a different way what kind of police we need. But for the next movie, please respect the audience and respect the content.
