"Dark Night"

Adhering to the consistent style of Hollywood from the 1930s to the present, it is a typical fighting and violent film. Starring Liam Neeson. Plays Jimmy, a frustrated ex-gang hitman. There is also a gang boss, Sean, who has been with him for decades. Now one is prosperous and the other is down. In order to borrow some money, Jimmy even humiliated to Sean's house to play Santa Claus. Then a gunfight started for the disputes between the gangs. You killed my son, and I will kill your son. There is no justice, and I don’t care about the loyalty of my buddies. The ending, of course, is that Jimmy saves his son, wins, and dies with a smile.

Liam Neeson is a very good star. He most admires the "Schindler's List" starring him, and later acted in "The Wind Rescue", " Incheon Landing Operation " and so on. With a sad look on his face, he rarely shows a smile. So you can't use him in comedy. After checking, this dude is actually not an American, but a British Northern Irishman. "Dark Night" was filmed in 2015. At this time, he was 63 years old, and he was still jumping on the set at such an old age. Is it for business or for pay? Have both.

Another is Ed Harris as Sean. He is also a veteran supporting actor. Played a lot of villains. He also wrote and directed a "Polak the Painter", which was nominated for an Oscar. Sean in "Dark Night" is cruel and ruthless, scheming, and occasionally shows generosity and kindness to his family and buddies. Harris was right.

As I said just now, "Dark Night Chasing Vengeance" is still a Hollywood routine, and it is also a bit new among the old-fashioned. Just pay attention to details. Looking at the extras inside, all of them are very involved. For example, Jimmy asked a group of ruffians on the roadside for the address of a black child. The ruffians seriously told him that he was on the XX floor. Jimmy asked again: "What is the number?" The ruffian became impatient: "Am I Google Maps?" There are also couples chatting and laughing on the subway, and old men dozing off, all of them are very realistic. Unlike us here, at first glance, it was hired for 200 yuan from Malu Yazi in Beitaipingzhuang. One by one like puppets, the director pulls the strings.

Using a lot of computer stunts, the whole city quickly panned to a partial scene.

Jimmy's phone is a BlackBerry 8800, showing his financial constraints. No money to buy Apple, can not afford to buy Huawei and Samsung.

The place where the story takes place is near the railway station. There are often trains roaring away. The noise of the trains renders the tense atmosphere between the police and the criminals. There is a rap in the middle, which is actually the work of a Korean artist.

The weapons used by the killers and the cops are trendy, the usual revolver, and the professional killer used a laser gun, of course the movie assumes. These weapons are very polished, the only downside is that they can't kill people. In the end, Jimmy used a Winchester M1894 rifle for the killer's fatal shot , hand-loaded with 7 rounds of ammunition, an old-fashioned rifle used in World War I. Discontinued in 2006. It is estimated that Jimmy used a limited edition.

This movie is suitable for when you are very bored, you can watch it while eating melon seeds to pass the time. Forgot after watching it.
