Storytelling

The theme of the killer has been filmed for decades. It is not difficult to shoot the process and scenes of the murder. The difficulty lies in the novelty. Unfortunately, in addition to moving the location to Bangkok, the protagonist is a Hollywood star, and the other characters are all Asians. Besides, there is really nothing new, you can think of the end after reading the beginning. I didn’t have any new ideas. I didn’t have much hope. Fortunately, the scenes were pretty good. The Pang brothers, who were born in editing, really did an extraordinary job, especially in the last half an hour. They were exciting, sharp, simple and straightforward, but at the same time, The flaws in storytelling are also obvious.
Joe originally found Kong because he thought he was guilty of death. Moreover, he knew too much. It was natural to kill himself, but he was inexplicably kind, letting him go and not only accepting as an apprentice, it was completely inconsistent with his indifferent, determined and lonely character. . Similarly, the love with the deaf-mute girl is also inexplicable. Love at first sight happened to Joe too quickly, too innocent, and too romantic. He would not know that talking about pure love without impurities is an extremely luxurious and dangerous forbidden zone. Even if you retire immediately and talk about it again, you may not get what you want, but there is no posture and style of a professional killer at all. Regardless of the unfinished tasks, there was a leisurely sentiment that caused the wind and the moon. From then on, he was vacillating, sentimental, and the four principles were left behind. In the end, he committed suicide inexplicably and artificially sentimental.
From an actor's point of view, Nicholas Cage is an action movie superstar. After all, he is a little old. At least he has to be modified on the outside to appear lean. Unexpectedly, in this film, he has a sloppy and sloppy look, although love It’s not the appearance but the connotation. It’s still hard to imagine how the deaf and mute girl played by Yang Caini could easily fall in love with an older and bald foreigner. The family background of a single parent can't help but make people suspect that she has an Electra complex.
The thinking of the gang boss is also quite peculiar. He was also the one who hired Joe to kill, and it was him who was worried that he could not complete the task and was implicated. Such a capricious and indecisive boss is rare. Even if you doubt Joe’s ability, for the sake of safety, kill Joe and let him perform the last mission. It’s best if you succeed. If you fail, you can do another trick if you fail. He was so stupid as to preemptively. Once the politician he wanted to kill could not die, he also alarmed a group of policemen and made it difficult for the future assassination. Life. Stupidly relying on one's own number of people, and don't want to think about the weight of one's own people. If you are clever and capable, you can solve those enemies by yourself. Why do you still use others? If you don't think there is a lot of money, you can't spend it.
