Liam Neeson, the immortal swordsman, not only did not lose his star in his acting career, but instead continued to produce more and more works, and the frequent updates one after another made people admire his strong vitality as a movie star. However, it is a pity that he seems to be trapped in a thriller action movie and cannot extricate himself. The continuous works highlight his influence in the field of action movies. There are more and more similar works, and it has to make people feel Some visual fatigue. We're not saying that Liam Neeson's acting is not good, nor that the quality of the movie is not good. It's just that the repetition of similar plots over and over again makes people a little annoying, and Uncle Liam's action scenes are almost all of them. In the same way, it didn't bring out any new tricks, so it doesn't bring much freshness to people. Even if the tension of the movie is shown through the plot, the acting still returns to the theme of the action movie. I have to say Liam. . Nissen has been given the type by the studio. However, in general, the plot design of this movie is full of tension, and the plot is also very worthy of people's savouring. It's just that while all the plots in the first half are quite standard, the plot in the second half is reversed. People are a bit overwhelmed and unbelievable. The tension and oppression created by the first half of the climax disappears without a trace in the second half. I have to say that the strength of the villain created by the movie is really disappointing. However, from the second half of the movie, we can see that the climax design of the movie is too simple, which can only prove the helplessness and regret of the movie as a low-cost movie. It is a pity that the film cannot be a good commercial action film.

The movie shows us the tragic life of a professional killer, which is not only excluded from the gang, but also chased by the external police. The most important thing is the incomprehension from the family, which makes people feel more pitiful for the life of a killer. The first half of the movie highlights the situation of the protagonist in a very comprehensive and delicate manner, and more vividly shows us that in this environment, the protagonist will still face his life with an inclusive mentality, which inevitably makes We began to sympathize with the situation the characters were in, and we slowly integrated into the plot of the film. In fact, the plot of the whole movie is very simple, but it took a long time to forge the relationships between various characters. Once the plot unfolds, it will be like a flood that has opened the gate, and the plot will be simple and direct. Without spending the slightest bit of saliva to narrate, it directly presents us with the upcoming revenge plot, making it easy for people to start accepting the action plot of chasing and being chased. The reason why the director makes good use of commercial elements is that he knows how to arrange the layout. When all the content is clearly expressed, he can directly give the audience what they want, and we can't pick out what is wrong. It is very enjoyable to enjoy the wonderful action and drag racing scenes. Moreover, the director not only created the main storyline, but also forgot to add family emotional elements in it, which not only shows the flesh and blood of the characters, but also depicts the warm feelings in the family, which is very useful. As director Zomi Sheila, who has worked with Liam Neeson many times, he knows very well what kind of role Uncle Liam is suitable for, and also knows how to play the role of Uncle Liam in the film, and is very expressive. To interpret the greatness of the character in the film, and to further shape Liam Neeson into an anti-hero character. It is not that we do not like heroes, but the real society cannot produce truly pollution-free A positive hero, and the anti-hero image Uncle Liam has always created is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that every time he appears in a movie, it will make people feel that he will have a sad past.

Liam Neeson's performance in the movie is impeccable, because he has already adapted to such a role. He not only knows all the pressure behind the role, but also deeply integrates his own experience and thoughts. The ten-year-old Uncle Liam has already experienced the vicissitudes of the world, and his success is slowly accumulated step by step, so each of his roles is so calm and full of connotation, people have to be immersed in his love for him. It is difficult to extricate oneself from dependence and trust. As for Ed Harris, the villain of this film, being a gangster can really bring us a powerful sigh, and there is no pressure to play against Liam Neeson, even Uncle Liam is in him We all feel a little lack of confidence in front of us, so that the movie makes us unanimously imagine that Uncle Liam will suffer in the movie, but the movie is not good, and the ending of Ed Harris is so embarrassing, not only did he fail to play him As a villain, the power of the villain has not been fully utilized as an old drama bone, which is really a pity.

The movie is considered to be a well-established movie, but the plot of the movie easily reminds us of another movie, which is Keanu Reeves' "Chase to Kill" not long ago. Although the plot of the movie is not very prominent, but Compared with this movie, the action scenes are very good-looking, and I have to sigh that if Uncle Liam wants to continue to fight the beasts in the field of action movies, he must revamp his action design. Even Denzel Washington beautifully showed off his gorgeous action scenes in "The Injustice". If Uncle Liam still maintains the same action design, I'm afraid his status in action movies will not be guaranteed.
