Ignore the plot twists.

In my impression, the first movie of #Extreme Agent# was rented and watched. It was the first time I knew that extreme sports can be played so cool and cool. It was also through this film that I learned about Vin Diesel, a flexible big man.

A few years later, the awesome Sand Cage came back again, with an incredible team, once again showing the audience a perfect combination of extreme sports and gunfights.

In fact, the plot of XXX is really negligible this time, and the old-fashioned plot design doesn't even have any new ideas. Even so, the nearly two hours will still not make people feel boring and sleepy, because it's crazy. BGM and coherent action design still make people a little bit ignorant.

The opening is the climax, and the tower downhill at the very beginning made people's eyes shine. With the development of the plot, all kinds of willful extreme pursuits are accompanied by crazy electronic music rap, and hot girls help out, so that the film does not have a momentary cold scene. The Zhen Kung Fu of the universe Dan and the Muay Thai boxing of Tony Jia also make the oriental face and the oriental Kungfu make up for the stiff hand-to-hand combat in the Western action films, adding a lot of technical content and improving the beauty of the fight a lot.

I like the use of high-speed footage and action editing in the film, which is like a follow-up shot with handheld photography equipment. The camera shakes violently but more realistically expresses the tension and action of the scene, which is smooth but not messy. And all kinds of BGM are also high from the beginning to the end. If there is no such electronic rap, the whole film should be much inferior.

Therefore, such a popcorn movie is still worth going to the IMAX theater. Don't delve into the plot, it's good to watch it. As for whether there is a next one, let's just go with the flow.

ps I still don’t understand the meaning of Wu Yifan’s role in the film. The director wouldn’t have to create a character for the sake of fans. If creating atmosphere is also a skill, most of the people in the film will Could be "The Hood".

    Some people are alive and he is dead; some people are dead and he is still alive.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage quotes

  • Xiang: I'm in this hospital bed. I'm barely conscious. Delirious. Drowning in my own blood. And all I can hear myself think is, "Today's the day. Today's the day you die."

    Xander Cage: I'm touched.

    Xiang: Then a man comes along, tells me a story about a drought in California. About skateboards and swimming pools. About a man named Xander Cage.

    Adele Wolff: [on ear-piece] Oh, shit. He's Triple-X.

    Xander Cage: I heard he was dead.

    Serena Unger: Is he?

    Xiang: We are all Triple-X. We just have different agendas. She wants to destroy it. I'm gonna use it. And I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you take it back to the NSA.

  • Paul Donovan: Yo, asshole. We gonna have a problem?

    Xander Cage: Oh, no problem. How was your trip? I'm just doing the math.

    Paul Donovan: Oh, yeah? What math?

    Xander Cage: Air velocity divided by distance. So, when I stuff you down the toilet, search and rescue will know where to find you between China and North Korea.

    Paul Donovan: Keep talking, little man.

    Xander Cage: Hold that thought, G.I. Joe.
