Among the various spy movies every year, "Abandoned Agent" is a special one. A CIA infighting is not a traditional narrative and action, but a sci-fi element plus CULT-style excitement. Fighting scenes, marijuana, plague, poison gas, bloody, eclectic, especially the character establishment of the protagonist Mike, brought extraordinary excitement.
Similar stalks have appeared many times. Ordinary people are suddenly struck by fate and lightning, gain uncontrollable divine power, and fight against powerful systems. The action sci-fi genre is played by "Super Body" and "Never Ending", and the useless agent Mike is like a mixture of Robocop and Super Chappie, but he is really flesh and blood rather than steel and iron. , the ability comes from the transformation and cultivation of the brain by scientists The young Jack Su, who has been infused with hundreds of years of skills by adventures, can always bring strong impact and catharsis to the audience.
With so many excellent predecessors for reference, this film uses this stalk very skillfully and beautifully. At the beginning, there is a picture of Mike's fierce eyes, flashing back to a series of close-ups of murder weapons and bloody pictures, creating a sense of suspense. good. Then the picture changed, and the story was told from the beginning. Mike Eisenberg, a small-town young man, lived a fascinated life. He still had a job in the supermarket to make ends meet. He didn’t have a good house, clothes, or smoke. Marijuana addiction and the fear of leaving the small town, the only thing you can do is a beautiful girlfriend who is a nanny, a landlord, a creditor, and a repairman. This kind of life is boring, but there are huge dangers hidden.
Thanks to the good eyesight of the two idols, there is no sense of slack even in the plot of explaining the background of the characters. Both the curly-haired man and the twilight woman are very devoted, and a lot of acting skills are put into this film. It should be simple In the rough action movie, a different look and feel is produced. Jesse Eisenberg, who has made great strides in acting since social networking, and Kristen Stewart, who has sought breakthroughs in recent years, reunite again after a seven-year hiatus from "Adventureland". , also do not have some feelings.
When the CIA launched the cleaning plan, the male leader and the female subordinate turned against each other. The film instantly entered the rhythm of massacres. After Mike was "unlocked", he entered the "super body" mode and fought fiercely with another "thug" product. The filming is very good, the small test knife in the supermarket, a spoon inserted into the instant noodles, and a headshot with a gun, and then there is a series of fierce battles, the police station, the underground dance hall of the gangster neighbors, the wild is attacked by "laughter", All the way to the last supermarket battle, every battle was very violent. The CIA was fully armed to launch a war of annihilation against Mike. Although it was just a small town, it also had an atmosphere of beacon fires.
Probably to highlight Mike's character as a young man in a small town, the film does not let him use gunfire too much, but rather picks up daily necessities like a martial arts master, so that flying flowers and leaves can hurt people, and it is really pots and pans. The mop and grass stick can exert the same power as a submachine gun. Those scenes of being beaten to pieces are painful to watch. The final battle in the supermarket is designed very well.
From the story point of view, "Agents of Waste Wood" is by no means a game ticket. Mike's character design has left enough room for the development of new plots. The little tidbits at the end of the film also show that the mouse has become an invincible ape, which foreshadows the next reincarnation. Coming soon.
The genre mode of "Waste Agent" belongs to the diversified improvement of the agent movie. The collision of heavy taste and light sci-fi has created a new spark. It is different from the old 007 or Mission Impossible's grafting of action and fashion. The way of "The Bourne", "Hurricane Rescue" and "Ace Agent", new bottles of old wine, new ways to tell old stories, "Waste Firewood" is a brand new idol CP to interpret stories that are completely different from the old types. The story seems to be absurd, but the narrative has achieved a colorful, funny agent image, CULT's fighting, comic-style whimsy, and even a comedic re-deconstruction of the CIA. The tricks are all in the content.
Inside and outside, full of new ideas, such films have reasons to adapt to the trend and become the new favorite of young audiences.
