It is estimated that the screenwriter was lazy. I found a revenge action movie book from the 1990s in the warehouse, dusted off the dust and opened it.
The happy family of the heroine suffered a catastrophe, the family was destroyed, and then disappeared for five years, and then inexplicably came back as a top master. All kinds of bad drug dealers, bad judges, and bad police were suddenly dropped by the heroine, and then the film was over. , the plot is really that simple.
Of course, in order not to appear so monotonous and simple, the screenwriter added the plot of the police and the FBI teaming up to hunt down the heroine, giving people the feeling that these people are clearly the care homes of drug dealers and criminals.
Objectively speaking, the director is still very serious about the filming, shots, gunfights, explosions, fights, and special effects.
This classical style of revenge action film, no matter how it is shot, should follow the several major revenge elements delineated by "The Count of Monte Cristo":
1. Ordinary people are framed or harmed by innocent people. It must be driven to a desperate situation, it must be horrific, there is no way to survive, and it will inspire great sympathy from the audience.
2. After untold hardships, whether it is to find a famous teacher to imitate a master, or genetic mutation, you can also pick up the secrets. In short, the protagonist's rebirth and pupation into a butterfly must be explained clearly, so that the audience can feel that the protagonist is coming back , the fun begins.
3. The revenge process must be carefully designed, exciting enough, the bad guys are evil enough, and the greater the difficulty, the more the ability and determination of the avengers will be highlighted. Shooting to death is a failure.
These three elements must be strong and colorful, this type of film can be considered a success. Although this film has all the points, but the foreshadowing is not detailed enough, and the focus is all on the revenge shootout, which makes the audience very unsatisfied.
