The scenery is beautiful, the plot is very simple

I have to say that the plot of this movie is too simple, the father-daughter family relationship is the main line, but the other kind of grievance between the police and the gang takes up too much space. The way of expressing family affection is too simple. Basically, the thug broker can do everything for his daughter, and he can get everything done. During the flood of vulgar heroism, the plot of grievances between gangsters and police is too reluctant and too bloody. Basically, it was two women who turned a small conflict, a fight between students, into a farce, and the point was that both women relented before the conflict was resolved. In short, the clues are too general, and the plot connection is too rough.
As for the performance, Statham's tough guy style is still sharp, in lol's slang - triple kill, quadra kill, penta kill and then legend until ace! From a purely tactical point of view, his acting skills are already perfect, but isn't he tired of fighting and killing all the time? What caught my eye was Vidovic's performance. I can only classify it as the role of good genes. The incompetence is the kind of strong, stubborn, or the panic and fear that girls should have when facing violence. It's the naughty spirit when Broker and the teacher Susan have an affair. It's a pity that Broker and Susan didn't have more performances due to the influence of the sloppy plot...
Personally, I think the biggest highlight of this work is the shooting background. I searched online and found no answer. Anyway, that kind of American small The feeling of the town is so unforgettable for me, the comfortable town, the beautiful environment, the sturdy trees, and the urge to go to seclusion.
In addition, there is a little doubt that I may still be unfamiliar with American culture, so I don't have a deep understanding of the entire film. The article repeatedly mentioned that "the rules of the small town" are similar to the rules handed down when you go to some ancient towns and villages in China, which can be summed up as "an eye for an eye" and "don't fight in front of children. people" and so on, some I don't understand either. Therefore, as mentioned above, the movie mainly relies on Broker's single-player to lead the storyline. Maybe it has something to do with the rules of these small towns. In short, the skill is not enough to appreciate the charm of these movies with different styles from American blockbusters but with local characteristics. . I'm sorry...
