Tough Guy Pipeline Products

A typical Hollywood assembly line product, according to the rules and regulations, is basically expected, there is no surprise or disappointment. Jason Statham has the title of the king of B-movies. The so-called B-grade films can be simply understood as low-cost movies. Of course, the "low" here is relative to Hollywood's blockbusters that can easily cost hundreds of millions. In this segment, Statham's The image of a tough guy is a very good box office guarantee. The film cost 15 million US dollars to shoot. The story mainly takes place in a remote town. There are no fierce gun battles, car chases, explosions, and no special effects. If you are a fan of Statham, take a look at it, the action scenes in it are still as punched to the flesh and full of pain as always (you seem to be able to feel a punch in the face, and the blood splattered by others is also faintly splattered by your own hands. Although it doesn't show any fighting skills or anything new, it's enough to make you feel good.

The story is very simple, so simple that after reading the first ten minutes, you can guess what will happen later. The plot of this kind of tough guy movie is usually not something to watch. Stallone's name is not hung in the actor column but in the screenwriter column. I think everyone is basically psychologically prepared. But as the main villain gator is a bit unbearable, this flaw is too big. If he acts as a wit, running around the house in the middle of the night, stealing kittens and dolls, and tipping off to the big drug lord, I really don't see any wisdom at all; Existence, Statham can throw him to the ground with one punch, which is not an order of magnitude at all. It was a waste of money, a big black and a little brother also foreshadowed in front that this gator is such a ruthless character that he can do anything. At the end, I didn't feel how ruthless this guy was, let alone powerful. This led to the climax of the film at the end, and it ended simply. I was looking forward to Statham's last big fist and didn't appear at all, because the villain was too weak.

If you don't like this kind of simple and rude violent scenes, you can skip it directly when you go to the cinema to select films. Statham's paralyzed acting method is of little value if not his fans, and it's the same in each of his films: one expression, one pose. The on-screen image he has been created has always been like this, and what he can do is limited. With the increase of age, Statham can't keep playing. In fact, before this comparison, the proportion of action scenes has dropped a lot. There are several scenes of warm interaction with his daughter in this film, which is also his way of slowly broadening his acting career.
