That movie is amazing in my memory, because I have never seen a movie that can make so many commercial elements look good: surfing, love, action, American football, gunfights, car chases, skydiving... So much so that when I see such a movie later, my first reaction will be: This is a "Breaking Point"-style movie.
Including this "Extreme Thief".
Time.com's "The Thief" Chinese version theatrical trailer 1
When I saw its trailer not long ago, I thought it was very similar to the "Breaking Point" until I heard that it was adapted from that movie Here...
don't say anything, just buy a ticket.
I suddenly saw a movie that is worth looking forward to, and when I knew it, the movie had already been released, and those who saved the waiting time should be able to understand my feelings.
After watching it, I have to say that the extreme sports part of this film is beyond imagination, and the plot is beyond imagination. So I think it's a movie that should go to the cinema to see 3D (and IMAX 3D if possible) because if you don't, you lose a lot of the point of watching the movie.
In fact, this movie had the opportunity to become a movie like "Violence Block 2", "The Raid" and "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra" with a "scene so good that the audience can ignore the weakness of the plot", but unfortunately, in this film The villain of the movie always likes to be narcissistic and preachy so much that the audience wants to look at the phone when the plot is over. Moreover, the three movies can at least have relatively complete plots. Compared with the plot of "Extreme Thief", the plot is endless. Sometimes even the connection between the events is lacking in logic. Those who don't know it think they are watching "Assassin" Nie Yinniang" (just kidding~).
Ever since the male protagonist met the villains, they have been pretending to be there, saying that we completed the eight challenges in order to save mankind, pursue the highest realm, and repay nature. After beating the male protagonist, he said Saying You don't know shit, and then when the male protagonist lights a cigarette for their boss, he suddenly becomes eligible to join... Well, such unimportant details can be ignored, so I'm looking forward to it In what way will they repay nature, and it turns out that they have blown up a gold mine from beginning to end, and it seems that they have not returned anything to nature except carbon dioxide. Even if the male protagonist joins them before they are counted, the most they do is to rob the rich and help the poor. They have to talk about so many illusory things. I don't know what you think. Anyway, I think there is a kind of middle school student thinking. I bought a PS4 so I lied to my parents and said it was a learning machine.
In addition to how to repay nature, the biggest suspense in the whole film is what they can get after doing so many things. But after reading it, you will find that in fact they get nothing, all they get is to go to death calmly. I've been fooling around so much before, and it's all about Kidding you! The depth of this mystery is comparable to "We worked hard for the whole movie just to see the last light" at the end of "Now You See Me". But this kind of treatment at least solved one problem, that is, when I was watching "Breaking Point" before, I never understood why the villains took the time bomb of the hero with them, and he killed the whole army in the end. Overwhelmed; this problem does not exist in this movie, because these guys are all lunatics, and the ultimate purpose of doing these things is to seek death!
It is rare for us to see such a movie, where the frontal characters can't keep up with the villains from the beginning to the end (in fact, those few people can't be regarded as the real villains), and finally found that they don't care at all, they themselves Get killed. Faced with such a plot, I think that even if this movie is like "Tomb Raider 10th Anniversary Edition", it is better to use the original plot to recreate it than the current one.
After complaining so much, I still have to praise the scene of this film in the end. Whether it’s the motorbike running fast on the ridge at the beginning and the energetic surfing, the feasting party, the beautiful underwater dance, the hot action scenes, or the thrilling extreme sports such as skydiving, skiing, high-speed gliding, unprotected rock climbing, etc. , all performed very well. All in all, it's still a movie worth going into theaters to watch, and if you ignore the plot, it's one of the most exciting movie-watching experiences of the year.
