Jason Statham should be regarded as the most recent generation of action movie stars in the European and American film circles. When you are tired of watching Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Willis is getting old, Jason Statham, who has worked a lot in recent years, is still quite worth watching.
Due to the appearance, the types of his works are relatively simple. If you don't read the plot, the director, or the title of the movie, the works he starred in can basically be classified as action movies. The "Fate Express" series, the "Angry Heart" series, and the "The Expendables" series, "The Mechanic", "Parker" and "Hummingbird" in recent years. The routines are all showing off his actions, as well as the unchanging sharp eyes.
There is no need for a mental test at all, and there are only fights left. The commercial entertainment industry of the assembly line is full of viewing but lacking in connotation.
Even so, it is worth seeing, and the plot is cliché, but basically you can watch it. This is the characteristic of Jason Statham's works.
It is said that there is really nothing to say about this "Ace of Winning", and the set scene is still Las Vegas. At first I thought it was that kind of revenge routine, but the more I looked at it, the more confused it became. Jason Statham is still the type of acquaintance wherever he goes. Facing the experience of his ex-girlfriend, walking in Las Vegas is like no one else. territory. Then the revenge was successful, and in order to avoid difficulties, he decided to leave. But the middle section turned into a gambling scene in the casino, making it hard to see why. Does it imply the final Armageddon?
Won 500,000 and got the road to self-redemption, but in the end it was emptied all at once. Then the twists and turns, the tech man decided to give him money in return, as if life fell from a high point and turned over at a bottom. In this way, more than half of the film has passed, and nothing has been said yet. It came to the end of the film, and a fight that was not too small was over. After solving the enemy, I also got the money and air tickets sponsored by the tech man. Everything is Happy Ending.
Yes, this movie doesn't follow a routine, it's a flat road, it's not ugly, but it's just showing off Jason Statham. Yes, in his martial arts alone, he doesn't even need a gun.
