"Western Hero Jonah Hacks": the gorgeous, naked hollow

Regarding the box office and word-of-mouth loss of "Western Hero Jonah Hacks", the moment I double-clicked the movie with the mouse, it seemed that there was an answer. It's hard to imagine how to make extravagant words for just cutting it into a film length of 70 minutes. If it is said to be "short and tough", it is purely self-deception. Personal film viewing has always been non-critical and picky, but this film is far from satisfying my appetite, both psychologically and physically. It can only be said that it is a taste of food, and it is a pity to discard it. The adrenaline that had just been accelerated, fell into a trough again in a blink of an eye, and there was no chewing at all. Apart from complaining and helplessness, all that was left was regret.

Martial arts movies are to China what Western movies are to the United States. Nowadays, Western films are gradually declining and bleak, and they are also going farther and farther on this one-way street. Textbook-level movies like "Red Dead Redemption" have become history. The loss of style and the diversification of elements make all that can be done now is nostalgia and looking up. Although the title of this DC comic superhero work launched by Warner seems straightforward, the word "Western" is just a decoration. How much content in the film really deserves the grand and flattering label of "Western"-it's a little bit furry. For this reason, it feels more humble to translate into "Scarface Cowboy". Driving the concise and clear central route of "revenge", the basic point feels like a touch. Perhaps because of the adaptation of the comics, he was completely tied up. After that, the overall direction flickered, and it seemed that as soon as it escaped from the roaring explosion, the dazzling sparks, the audience would be drowsy. I have to say that this gorgeousness seems very cool, but on the other hand, the emptiness in it is also so naked.

"Everybody needs a place to die." Jonah Hacks was really heroic, unrestrained and free. He watched the family be mutilated, and his face was also branded with scars of "extreme workmanship". Such a shocking situation made him embark on the path of a bounty hunter, interpreting his philosophy of violence against violence at a glance. Two automatic machine guns were mounted on the horse's back, coming and going without a trace, as if they were in no one. What's even more astounding is that the man who leaked drinking water, leaked alcohol, and leaked KISS has the power to bring people back to life. I couldn't help sighing for God's injustice, not only helped him open a door, but also opened the window by the way. In addition, the fragrant beauty is good for her, and there is really no reason for people not to be jealous. The scenes of playing with dead people as toys are indeed very happy, and the special effects are extremely brilliant. I remembered a passage in the "Knight and Day" by Tom, "With me ,without me. With me ,without me. With me ,without me..."

It is still an adaptation of the comic book of "Evil", the original enthusiastic fistful of heroes, instantly became a national hero who defended his family and the country. The element of "counter-terrorism" was unexpectedly integrated, and it should be called advancing with the times. The magic of high-tech weapons, in addition to the unconscious pleasure when exploding, accompanied by scattered sparks and ashes, is still embarrassing. It's a pity that it fell short in the end, otherwise it will be a visual feast. Of course, this kind of brainless plot flow can guess the ending with your knees. Megan Fox's beauty is still the same, although there is no direct and stunning scene, her sweaty attire is enough to make the audience snorting. Sexy has become a kind of "cumbersome" for a while, and her role can never get rid of the positioning of the vase. It seems that the performance of acting skills can be completely ignored, and replaced by beautiful red lips and a wonderful posture. She deserves to be the number one actress named "Who do you want to cheat for?" by the British media, she really deserves her name. The cast of soy sauce in the movie is also strong enough, and most of them are first-line dragons, which is really rare. The professional Will Arnett is generally a non-competitive one; John Malkovich has long been used to a villain who is humorous in appearance but cruel in his heart. For such a configuration of actors, it seems to be a work with no shortage of preparations and careful thinking. But in fact, it's more like an opportunistic, cutting corners. I just stepped on the watermelon rind when I thought about it, and it counted where I slipped. It's a pity that I used too much force and slipped when I stepped on it.

Whether it is blamed on the director, the screenwriter, or the comic itself, this film can do a great job. May wish to lengthen the front, accumulate some irony and cold humor, increase the emotional scene between the male and female protagonists, and pair it with a few sets of fresh and pleasant western jungle scenery, so whether it can improve the reputation, at least not just a taste. The half-hanging sub-project.
