At the end of the year (lunar calendar), artists come out to make money. As the end of the Lunar New Year is approaching, more and more veteran artists are coming out to make money, and many of them are playing the card of "nostalgia", so as to deceive and fool the ignorant masses. Take the simplest example "Faye Wong's concert", I don't know how many readers have seen it? Two-thirds of the songs are out of tune. The original diva has now become a village girl, using "sensational" and "nostalgic" to deceive fans. The original ethereal voice has long since disappeared. After the concert, only Leaving a group of inexplicable fans staring blankly at their shriveled wallet, hurting alone.

In addition to singers, the same is true for actors. Taking advantage of this schedule, they come out to make money and hype. Personally, I have no objection to these stars coming out to make money. As long as the works are available, everything else is a cloud. Let's get down to business. The work "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back" introduced today is starring veteran actor Tom Cruise, although "making money" is inevitable. The suspicion of "circle fans", but the actor's dedication is real, and it is worthy of applause from the audience. As for the box office reputation? It can only be said that the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

Although the evaluation of this film by major film review websites is a little embarrassing, the actors are indeed hardworking. This must be affirmed. As for the lack of goodness in the plot, it can only be said that the director and screenwriter are poor and have nothing to do with the actors.

Entering the film, a simple analysis - director, actor, and plot

director, Edward Zwick, one of the more well-known directors in the United States, once won thirteen Oscar nominations for "Shakespeare in Love" in 1999, and finally won "Best" six awards, including film. A talented director.

The actor, mainly Lao Tang, became popular in the 1980s with "Top Gun", and then the "Mission Impossible" series in the 1990s made him popular again. In the film, Lao Tang plays Jack again - a lonely hero, but due to his age, Tom's vicissitudes of life and slightly fat body make the word "hero" more "nostalgic".

Cobie Smulders, as Turner, a female colonel, valiant, righteous and courageous, formed a two-person team with Jack to protect Samantha, and revealed various events behind the scenes.

Danika Yarosh, as Samantha, a fake daughter who is hunted down due to her own wrong choices.

Plot, old-fashioned and boring American heroism. Due to the "Mission Impossible" series, Lao Tang's role in such a personal solo always reminds people of "Ethan Hunt", and this sense of substitution is deeply rooted.
From being hunted down inexplicably, to rescuing Turner. From protecting Samantha to finding the truth. One set after another, all are Hollywood-style routines, all of which are the consistent selling points and gimmicks of American heroism. The rhythm of the whole play is tight, and the plot is intricate. There is only one thing that makes people very unsatisfactory-the bridge that is too "assembly line". To be honest, if you watch an American blockbuster for the first time, this movie will definitely be unforgettable.
