outrageous beauty

Cold handcuffs, slightly curly yellow hair, unhealed scars. When the protagonist of a movie wears a prison uniform and keeps shaking his legs in the interrogation room, maybe you will think, this buddy has committed a big thing, right? Of course, looking at his scruffy clothes, at most, it is a thief. In fact, Mike, the supermarket cashier starring Jesse Eisenberg, "unarmed" killed 17 thugs trained through special experiments. Yep, that's "Crappy".
The movie uses the method of reverse order to show the situation of the male protagonist in prison at the beginning, and then the style of painting changes, it becomes a love story between a small town waste wood man and a goddess girlfriend. The male protagonist Mike and the female protagonist Phoebe are An "outrageously beautiful" couple. The male protagonist Mike delayed his trip to Hawaii with his girlfriend because of a special phobia. Then, all kinds of strange things happened frequently, and finally even the CIA and drones intervened.
The "outrageous" Mike can be said to be the reason for the film's R rating. Many scenes, especially when Mike killed the thugs, were bloody scenes. The character setting similar to "The Walking Dead" and the "Church Killing" clip similar to "Ace Agent" make this film scary and enjoyable to watch. Of course, the film uses the editing of the lens to reduce the blood level, and the setting of the fighting tools is ingenious. Spoons, pans, and dustpans allow Mike to perform a wonderful "Guide to How to Kill in Supermarkets" during the final part of the film.
The "beautiful" Phoebe can be said to be the beauty of this film. Phoebe, played by Kristen Stewart, can be said to be a typical representative of a spiritual pillar girlfriend. The control of emotions after traveling, the handling of her boyfriend's murder, and the courageous struggle to save her boyfriend. If it weren't for the appearance of nuclear fluoride and zinc gas, it would be hard to imagine that an ordinary woman would have such a charm. As the story progresses, I gradually see the efforts of this outstanding girl for her boyfriend. In the end, it doesn't matter who is the tree blocking the car's progress, because when both of them become speeding cars.
In addition to the male and female protagonists of the film, the supporting roles of the film are also unique. What impressed me the most was Rambis' male assistant, who said no to but was very honest in body. The phone ringtone was set to bark, which also implied the assistant's loyalty and honesty. But the villain of the film is really weak, that is, a waste man who overstepped his authority and acted on his own. In the end, he was beaten by his immediate boss because of his cheap mouth. The whole story doesn't feel like a big conflict, maybe because there's still a sequel in the works.
If you've got a bucket of popcorn in hand but can't keep up, let this slapstick comedy entertain you on a boring night.

    It seems that only B-level films made by Quentin can be watched. . .

    Although it's a bit rough at low-cost B-level, but this love movie is very smooth, simple and rude I like it
