The rescue is lazy suspense.

Rescue Professionals are here again! It's not easy for Daddy Nissen to play a suspenseful action movie again at the age of 66.

I feel that transformational films such as "Hurricane Rescue" and "Unidentified" are addictive, but the roles are solidified and the performance is dull. The stable temperament, the melancholy between the eyebrows, the meaningful smile on the corner of the mouth, these labels have also given way to the fighting that is not good at. The screen image of the mentor, loving father, and guide in "Schindler's List", "Star Wars" and "Kinsey Professor of Sex" is still more of a play on him.

If there is no "Air Rescue", the film is worth mentioning. Unfortunately, the suspense setting, clue evolution, and rescue routine are highly similar. In addition, the foreplay is too long, making it difficult for the audience's attention to always follow the plot. The target investigation and reasoning process in the enclosed space is far less straightforward than the analysis of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Source Code". Due to the limited age of the protagonist, the fight is not painful or itchy, and can only be compensated for by the hot scene of the train derailment.

Parent-child relationship, career difficulties and personal needs under the crisis of middle-aged and elderly people have become the only motives for selection and design; responsibility and morality, background as a special agent and policeman, and a slightly witty mind have become the usual tricks to solve puzzles and save danger.

Speaking of the slack index, I pasted Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, the original classmates of The Conjuring, and the word "villain" was written on the forehead as soon as they appeared. "Let a friend help you once" if you want to say something and quit, is no doubt a bad person. A quite satisfactory film, just as passers-by said at the end of the film: "I'm going to take the bus next time"!
