Another thorny black rose!

Do you feel a little familiar when you see this poster? The same capable, sassy, ​​and sexy movie posters are really long gone. After Angelina Jolie's "Tomb Raider" set off a wave of female-killing screen consumption, between 2003 and 2006, the Several famous Hollywood beauties have successively launched their own action movies, Uma Thurman's "Kill Bill", Halle Berry's "Catwoman", Jennifer Garner's "Erica" , Charlize Theron's "Magic Woman", and Milla Jovovich's equally deadly "Deadly Violet", while several beauties have shown their beautiful figures on the screen one after another, and then Show the delicate roses with thorns in front of the audience. However, with the receding of the wave of female consumption, few similar works have appeared in recent years, and only Milla Jovovich is doing endless battles with zombies, that "Resident Evil" ” was filmed and filmed again. In the latest episode, Bingbing from our country has all come to join the zombie fighting team.
In my opinion, the main reason for the fading out of women's movies is that Julie, Uma Thurman, Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz, and all of the women born in the 60s and 70s mentioned above. The stars are getting old one after another. Even if they are beautiful, they still can't get rid of the erosion of time flying knife. Their attractiveness on the screen is no longer what they used to be. It is not enough for them to independently undertake the box office call. There are still works coming out one after another, but it is difficult to single out. Even if there are a few women like Jolie who still maintain their first-line appeal, they rarely get involved in action films. There is no successor, and the Hollywood actress lineup, which has almost fallen into a fault line, is another reason. It has only struggled in recent years. The "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson, who has the posture of Hollywood's number one actress, also just last year. Launched his first action film "Super Body", and it is very coincidental that, like this film, the two films that are also dominated by female stars have Luc Besson behind them.
Luc Besson, as a director, seems to be very good at compiling action-themed stories, from the "Very Trafficker" series, to the "Hurricane Rescue" series in recent years, and then to "Violence Neighborhood", almost every film has dedicated very exciting stories. And action performances, and by the way: Jason Statham and Liam Neeson are stereotyped as stars. In Hollywood in recent years, few thugs can maintain long-term prosperity, and there are continuous action movies coming out, and this The two are the best among them. The 2011 film in front of me uses a female character as the protagonist, changing the traditional style of heroes saving beauty, and what kind of power can make a beautiful woman with a beautiful face and a sexy body in the blooming season , How about becoming a professional killer with strong skills and ruthless means? I think there is only revenge. Lao Lu has set up a mortal enemy for Catalya played by Zoe Saldana, the big drug lord in Colombia, and arranged a bunch of subordinates. When she was a child, she beat her parents to death on the spot in front of her. She escaped and came to the United States to defect to her uncle. And this uncle who is a gangster is an important help for her to grow into a professional killer. In a blink of an eye, the young girl became the culprit of dozens of murders in a row. Taking orders to kill people and buying people's lives became part of her revenge plan. It has become her habit and label to leave a pattern of unique flowers in her hometown - Catalya. And along with her success in serial crimes, the corpses one after another attracted the attention of federal agents and the drug lord who killed her parents in those years.
To talk about the highlights of this film, in addition to the usual thrills of action movies, the female protagonist may be lacking in the strength of the action and the visual impact, but it contributes a great other point of view , that is the repeated display of the heroine's enchanting figure. Like many movies in the wave of female consumers many years ago, skilled women must be dressed in capable tight-fitting equipment. It is best to intersperse them. Enter into the passion scene between her and the opposite sex partner, otherwise how to show the sultry and sexy aspects of the peerless enchantment in front of you, of course, it is impossible for you to see clearly in this kind of film. (I think everyone knows one thing.) A simple revenge story ends in the happy ending of a woman's revenge.
