Scissorhands, you pay back my lost twenty-five minutes

I was looking forward to it when I saw the trailer before. This film has brought together so many big names, not only acting like Kate Winslet and Woody Harrison, but also fans and Hawkeye. Popular niche, even the Wonder Woman with BGM, Gal Gadot, is also here. The director is not a novice. The previous works are remarkable, so the All-Star lineup should never be a bad movie.

The English title of the film: 999. In the American police terminology, 999 is an important code, meaning: officer down, which means that a police officer was attacked. After receiving this code, all police officers in the area must immediately put down The job at hand to rescue, the story of this film has a lot to do with this code.

The beginning of the film is a very exciting action scene of bank robbery. The robbers are professional and efficient, have clear goals, do not hurt people, do not hesitate, and complete the robbery quickly.

In fact, these robbers were corrupt policemen. They were all former members of the army, so they were very professional. The bank robbery was successfully handled, and because they were police officers, they also avoided the pursuit smoothly.

But in this operation, the greed of one of the members almost produced bitter fruit. Just when several corrupt policemen thought they could get their due rewards for doing this. Irina ( Kate Winslet ), the leader of the Russian gang who gave them the order , thinks differently .

And the black policeman who took the lead was Michael ( Chevat Egarford ), the husband of the gang leader Irina's sister Elena ( Gail Gadot ).

The gang leader once again used several corrupt police officers to continue the crime, and this time it was not a simple bank robbery. As several corrupt policemen were exhausted physically and mentally, they were also on the verge of collapse. At this time, Marcus, one of the black police officers, ushered in a new partner Chris ( Cassie Affleck ) in the police station .

Unlike a corrupt police officer, Chris is a dedicated police officer. As his partner deepens, Marcus has to deal with the fact that this dedicated police officer will doubt himself, while continuing to do what he should do. The entanglement can be imagined.

With the development of the plot, the thoughts of the four corrupt police officers gradually changed. What was the end result? Will the people who did the wrong thing pay the price they should pay?

In fact, this film is not a bad one. The opening action scene is very well scheduled, and the main characters can stand up. The story is also full of suspense. The fat and warm villain is full of aura and everything is OK. It just feels that the director has some problems in grasping the rhythm, a little loose in the middle, and it feels that the plot is very jumpy.

But when I saw the original film lasting 115 minutes, and I only watched it in the theater for 90 minutes, I knew that we had encountered the radio and television scissors again.

So before seeing the full version, I can't evaluate the film completely objectively. I can only say that our public release version is average, you can watch it, not amazing, but it's definitely better than most Chinese films, better than Chill 2. The original film source provided by Tencent is still in the theater version.

    Interest is the warning line The problem is that only one's own interest is the interest. The big names gather, and the plot is quite satisfactory. It does not have a tight plot and rhythm to catch people. Although the big names are only this, it can be considered mediocre.

    Regarding the director, there is really a saying that something is rude. With so many big players, Shengsheng has ruined a good hand. The story structure is okay. The more you go, the less the IQ of the protagonist is online, and the logic is messed up. One star for Xiaofan and one star for Crossbow Boy. Although their characters are also drunk, it is too rare to see them on the big screen~
