lone wolf

Originally I just wanted to give 3 stars, but Alain Delon didn't have any expression on his face. The film went very slowly. So much ink was spent in the police station, but there were not too many elements to promote the plot. It was really good. List. Very simple plot, the killer was hired to kill, but was silenced by the employer. Then find the employer, kill the employer. That's all. But when I saw the back, I suddenly felt that the whole film was made like this deliberately by the director. The cold metallic tone, the silent killer, and the bird that kept calling in the cage created a cold environment. There is a feeling of Gu Long's novel, freehand not writing.

The police in the play are more like a trick used to contrast the killer. It seems that they have designed one trap after another, and they have been cracked by Delong one by one. In the end, in the club, the police finally shot the killer, thinking they had the victory, but the killer didn't have any bullets in his pistol, he just came from the net.

Why would you sacrifice your life to do such a thing. Maybe that's the killer's rule, change into a car, get a new pistol, and put on white gloves before doing business. When the money is received, the work must be done. The task received must be completed. However, after receiving the favor of the pianist at the police station, he will never do anything he feels ashamed of. Therefore, the last gun without loaded bullets is the best choice.

    C / I liked it at the beginning, but the most direct impression from looking at Cheng Cheng is: Can't feel the existence of characters? On the one hand, the selection of characters has almost no perceptual situational establishment, mostly relying on straightforward text splicing. Therefore, most characters only have strong psychological momentum at certain specific moments and lack continuity. On the other hand, there are some thick lines in the portrayal of the characters' actions, too many trivial redundancy, and "actions" but not the sharp and delicate micro-action intensity. What linger in my mind is the portrayal of "figures" with a glimpse, suddenly coming and going in the contrast of light and dark, those moments Alan Delon seems to have become the real ghost of the city. Wouldn't it be better if Bresson or Diao Yinan came to shoot?

    Alain Delon here is so cool I don't like it, I still like him crying like a fool in Rock Brothers
