3D once again

"This film will be Jackie Chan's last action film." This is the first time the producer has used this sentence as the selling point of the film? I really can't remember, it's been more than 3 times anyway. In fact, I don't think it's necessary to do this. Everyone knows that Jackie Chan is very dedicated in filming, and action scenes are even more life-threatening. , already has a very large fixed fan base, even if Jackie Chan did not play at all in the film, they would buy tickets. And those people who don't like Jackie Chan movies at all, no matter how you say it, it's useless, not to mention this is not the first time this gimmick has been used.

This film is the second time that director Ding Sheng has cooperated with Jackie Chan. Although the last "Little Soldier" was not very successful, it was still in the past, and Liu Ye is his old partner. Both careers have reached their peak. Since there is Jackie Chan in this film, Liu Ye can only play the villain. However, this Liu Ye's role as the villain is really like that. After being surrounded by the police, he is still calm and calmly handles various emergencies in the fortress he has arranged for many years. This classic vicious thug state is really enjoyable to watch. As for Jackie Chan, this "Police Story" series is really too classic. He started filming when he was young, from Hong Kong to Hollywood, and a "Simple Mission" pushed this series to its peak. After middle age, I picked up this series again and co-produced a "New Police Story" with Nicholas Tse, and this film should be regarded as the sixth work of the series. At this time, Jackie Chan is no longer in his youth. Seeing that he is in his sixtieth year, it is really not easy to shoot action scenes again and fight so fiercely in the film.

The overall style of this film still has the shadow of "Tough Guy". The director still uses almost the same method in the processing of the picture. In the action scene, I don't know if it is because of Jackie Chan's addition, some shooting techniques have been added, but it seems to be in use. A little less heat, and the use of 3D special effects is relatively rough, and it does not show the excellent effect of 3D special effects at all. Under the arrangement of the director, Jackie Chan also abandoned his label-like action drama style and juggling ingenious action design, which was completely influenced by the various boxing, leg, wrestling and submission techniques of the popular freestyle boxing. Instead, the one who Jackie Chan was beaten was a miserable one. However, the core spirit of the death-defying police story is still preserved. Based on this, the bar owner played by Liu Ye was completely convinced at the last moment.

It's a pretty good movie to watch, but the current producer's practice of not providing 2D film sources after investing in 3D technology is really quite unkind. This kind of 3D situation is really becoming more and more common. , in the end is to enjoy 3D or be tired of 3D......

    I think the director is a fan of American dramas
