I really doubt that the whole movie is the theatrical version of 2K's game Mafia 3. It can be said that the elements in the movie are all in Black 3. At the beginning of the film, the scene where the camera followed the singer's car into the hotel made me almost press the forward button on the keyboard. The American streets in the 1960s and the cars in the 1960s were the same as the racing scene in Black 3; the song sung by the singer at the end The song with feeling is the promotion song of Black 3. The scenes described in the film, from the content, vehicles, architectural styles, firearms to the corrupt Senate, perverts, addicts, young veterans and their unique ideological problems, have everything in Black 3, and the cult part of Black 3 is even more open. Thematic DLC. It can be said that the film wants to write about those special things in the background of the 1960s. Through Black 3, I can understand it almost without obstacles.
The second thing that comes to mind is Quentin and the cabin in the woods. The salesman's Quentin-style opening is broken and broken; the last words are not allowed to be said violently; an empty hotel without soy sauce group performances is connected to the crowded phone. In a place full of people similar to the CIA, the whole movie does not have as much soy sauce as that one scene. I wonder if those people are going to bet.
I've been looking forward to the movie for a long time. It's rare that a few actors I like get together. After watching it, I found that I paid tribute to my favorite game. I can't ask for more.
