In the plot of the film, Stallone has his own clear position as a killer with a sense of justice, but as a killer, this in itself has more or less subverted the image of playing a decent protagonist in most previous movies. However, considering the background of the entire movie plot, the good policeman who makes the protagonist become a sense of absolute justice also lacks the novelty of Stallone's action movie, which will inevitably lead to the straightforwardness of the plot and the lack of depth.
At the beginning of the film, the protagonist and the first partner jointly carried out an assassination operation, showing mercy to the Russian hand man with a leopard pattern on his back. This also cleverly adds a suspense to the movie, why is the protagonist’s daughter also tattooed on the back With a same leopard, and the pattern of this leopard is inconsistent with the storyline shown in the later story of the whole movie. This is rarely seen in the strong sense of logic in Stallone’s traditional action movies. This suspense may be a sequel. Omen.
The appearance of Korean star Kang Sung-ho adds a touch of Asian flavor to the movie. In the film, there is a strong sense of justice. Jiang Sung-ho and Stallone, who has a steady work but has his own principles, also have friction and collision. Such friction or differences are different. The reason for insights and different styles of doing things is the cultural difference between the two in the story. Perhaps from the beginning of the filming, Stallone considered how to make Asian audiences more or less intimacy, but once again working with Jet Li, who performed exceptionally in "The Expendables 1" and "2", may no longer be realistic, although the audience is far away. It won’t be bored, but switching to someone else itself has to be regarded as an innovation. After all, Jiang Sung-ho has also appeared in the Fast and Furious series of movies, and he has a certain degree of popularity. What's more ingenious is the in-car dialogue between the two in the plot, and the Asian elements such as "Confucius" and "Warrior Spirit" appear in language. It is to increase the affinity of the whole film.
As a 67-year-old veteran action idol superstar, it is essential to show off the muscles that modern people feel admired in the movie. This became a bright spot in this not-so-popular movie with action scenes. And the last "New Swarzenegger"-the assassin played by Jason Momoa in an "axe battle" with real excitement and no lack of fists and legs, and the visual effects of dragging muddy water. This is a true portrayal of Stallone's movie style.
Almost every action movie that Stallone plays is a tribute to traditional action performance. Being conscientious is a kind of persistence, but it is also a pursuit. This insistence on traditional movements coincides with our country's Bruce Lee
. It is the most true perfection to bring traditional movements to the extreme . This is worthy of reflection by many current directors, and it is also worth learning for some actors today.
Of course, this 2013 new work has also increased a bit of commerciality compared to the past. From the original Stallone and the first partner driving a Chrysler Dodge, to the last sentence "I bought a new car" alone. Driving the black Ferrari of Fiat, this kind of display is full of commerciality. At the same time, it also adds a sense of modernity to Stallone's film that does not affect the charm of traditional hard actions.
In short, the persistence of powerful actors deserves respect. Besides, it is still a veteran idol-level action prowess.
