First of all, it was a bit of a surprise to see that the IP of Hurricane Rescue was changed to a TV series. After all, the movie was still in the third episode two years ago.
The setting of the story is different from the movie. The male protagonist is not married and has no children. He is a recently retired soldier. His ability and experience have not yet reached the level of the movie version, but the timeline is not 20-30 years ago, but today. Today, I think this setting is set for the convenience of shooting.
However, these changes are not a hindrance. The movie version became famous because of the simple and practical fighting skills of special agents, the thrilling vehicle chase, the capable shots, the calm and mature father and the family drama, and the plot of the story is actually Pretty simple and old-fashioned is not the point, the focus is on the casting of the characters, and there is no doubt that Liam Neeson is the key to success.
First of all, the male protagonist of the TV version, Clive Standen, is quite close to Liam Neeson in temperament, with a mature, stable and cautious and suspicious look, and the male protagonist is still in his prime rather than twilight years, which is expected to be full of energy. The powerful version should be successful at least in casting.
At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist's sister has been killed, and it was because the male protagonist had participated in military operations before, so it was obviously a drama of revenge. It didn't take long for the male protagonist to find that he was being followed. The scene where the main character goes back to his home to watch TV to deal with the enemy is worthy of praise. The male protagonist's performance in a calm and undisturbed manner is almost the same as the effect of the movie version.
After that, it's worse. First of all, in the play, the male protagonist finds out that he is being followed. With the male protagonist's cautious and suspicious personality, anti-stalking skills and rich military experience, it is at least impossible not to change the disposable phone number. , the male protagonist can only anti-stalk the existence of gangsters, but cannot detect the existence behind the government, more or less, I don't think it is reasonable to see that there are two groups of people (in terms of the male protagonist's character and anti-stalking ability in the play, The male protagonist can accurately see through the two prisoners on the train, suspicious people at funerals, suspicious vehicles on street corners, no dead corners in the house full of surveillance cameras, and gangsters who do not shoot the male protagonist in the crowd, the male protagonist believes that only the accurate reading ability of the live capture is required) But also consider When it comes to the difficulty of the screenwriter, without joining a third party or a larger conspiracy, it is impossible for the male protagonist to make a thirteen-episode TV series alone, so it is still acceptable.
But the hardest thing to accept is not to let go of the former comrade-in-arms who betrayed and killed his own sister in the play (in the movie, the male protagonist has revenge, especially personal revenge), but to put down his gun and surrender, and surrender is okay, after all The movie version also deliberately surrendered in order to meet the big boss directly. The scene where the male protagonist is hanged is exactly the same as the movie version. When you see it, it is a great tribute, but the question also comes, why the male protagonist surrendered The lamb cut, not deliberately, one person has to kill the rhythm of the entire gangster team, and the most useless thing is to be rescued, rescued...WTF...
I gave 7 points for the first episode. At least the casting and rhythm are correct. I am especially dissatisfied with the setting that the male protagonist's sister was killed at the beginning. The step-by-step tracing and rescue operation and the movie are the same pace and rhythm (and the girl is good-looking), it is estimated that the 13 episodes will be changed to 8-10 episodes to be better and more compact. The 13 episodes seem to be a bit lengthy at present. After all, the movie version is not sloppy. The fast pace and the lack of extra drama make it famous; the current plot is nothing more than joining the government as a secret agent and taking personal revenge at the same time. Such low-cost American anti-terrorist dramas and stories can be seen everywhere, and I am not particularly concerned about the development of the plot after that.
Finally, you must know that the movie version of the trilogy has an anticlimactic score, but the box office is strong. The factor that successfully attracts the audience lies in portraying the strong personal charm of the male protagonist, emphasizing the ability of the protagonist to describe the protagonist by working alone and in a small team. The obsession of family love, the English name ＜Taken＞ has the meaning of recapture, and the Chinese name is hurricane rescue. It can be seen that the rescue has a certain meaning and is a fixed highlight. The TV version seems to dismantle these factors of success all at once. Talk about the hurricane rescue of revenge; in addition, if the male protagonist joins the team, I am afraid that his role in solo combat + reconnaissance mode will be weakened, and it will further deviate from the rhythm of the movie version, but after that, everything depends on the performance of the male protagonist. It can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, not a successful start
