The Hollywood-level bullet-heavy action scenes can't hide the emptiness of its essence. "24 Hours: The End of the Road" is a tough guy movie that is particularly routine, with blunt and awkward turns, inexplicable emotions, and IQ. The so-called confrontation with no offline makes the film do nothing in a routine template, making the 24-hour countdown that should be full of urgency become long and mediocre.
The story of "24 Hours: The Last Rebirth" is actually very simple, and it follows the action hero mode that Hollywood is most accustomed to. In the movie, Travis, played by Ethan Hawke, set his protagonist to be a professional killer who was killed and then resurrected after a mission failed, and only had 24 hours of life. The heroine is the Interpol Lin played by Xu Qing. , With the help of her influence, Travis defeated the villain and completed revenge and self-redemption. It was such a simple story that should have been climaxing, but the presentation was particularly bad.
The 24-hour time setting, in my understanding, should be the key to the core of the film, but throughout the whole film, it only uses time as an eye-catching gimmick. For the protagonist Travis, I I can't feel the sense of urgency that every second is fighting for survival. On the contrary, it is flat and straightforward, and in the turning point that lacks bright spots, all kinds of old stalks not only make the movie more sleepy, but also expose the core of the movie. The problem is that besides knowing that he is making an action movie, the director doesn't know how to build a core of his own for the movie.
In "24 Hours: Rebirth", it does have enough action elements, but the movie not only wants to give the protagonist Travis enough tragic rendering, but also wants to play enough heroic romantic style, but also wants to be in In the end, he settles on the family, which makes the protagonist created by the film a contradiction in itself. All kinds of abrupt emotional development and Xu Qing's temperament that is completely inconsistent with Interpol make the film almost completely impossible to let What kind of sincerity people find, but everywhere people feel that the movie is perfunctory on the characters' emotions, just doing the trick of making money according to the gourd.
There is no convincing logic, nor is there anything that truly belongs to itself. "24 Hours: The Last Road Rebirth" only uses 90 minutes to prove to the audience how long 24 hours can be.
