Revenge and killer storytelling can be good, but screenwriters are often not good. I thought it was similar to "Fatal Cradle 2", but there is a pure emotion more than the meaningless plot of "Fatal 2": revenge! There was a little suspense in the film. It was not very clever and not bad. At least I didn't expect it, and it was the only support for the film. There are many familiar faces in the film, except Jet Li, who is still indifferent in previous Western movies. Jason Statham is still playing the image of a rough guy. The rest of Devon Aoki is still a Japanese girl. Zunlong has followed the "Jianfeng 2". Once played the Chinese gang boss, in addition to Shi Qiaoling, Zheng Haonan, and many second- and third-line foreign actors have played supporting roles in Jet Li's films. I wondered why the American screenwriters have such a few fixed patterns in the eyes of Chinese actors. Except for the French "Dragon Kiss" and "Danny the Wolf Dog", Americans are so rigid and cautious?
Jet Li and Jackie Chan's two movies this year are both fighting the Japanese underworld, and in the end they both use Japanese swords to confront each other. One is silent from beginning to end, and the other is a hippie smile from the beginning to the end, watching Matt Damon laymen. The smallpox hit there was so dizzying, and the audience watching HIGH is HIGH again, we are aggrieved!
The character setting is already in this way. You know that watching Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s movies is just a fight, but you still have a pitiful little fight. In the early years of Cheng and Li, there are 5 to 6 big dramas in one movie, and the scenes The scene is very different and exciting, the final battle is not a stalker or a stalker, but why are the action movies starring Chinese people who are mainly fighting back? It is also Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour 3" this year that completely ignores the fighting scenes and is replaced by endless funny elements. Jackie Chan's juggling, borrowing, and gecko skills are all discarded. The only fight between Jackie Chan and Hiroyuki Sanada is to be resolved hastily. . So Hollywood screenwriters are really idiots. Even the audience can't figure out what Jackie Chan is watching Jet Li. Can't they give a good book because Jackie Chan is all on the line? Ashamed!
In fact, the action scene in this film can be regarded as running through, but the number of pure fights is small, and all guns are used. You don't waste it when you find Jet Li when you use guns! Yuan Kui is still Yuan Kui, the design is in line with the fierce character of the character, Jet Li's demeanor has not diminished, and the knife is clean and neat, but there is nothing new. In terms of fighting scenes, the film has only the last 3 short fights. The rest of the sporadic fists and feet are interspersed in the action scene without leaving a trace, that is, Jet Li often solves the opponent without two moves. In a night scene, Jet Li turned around with a knife to cut off his opponent's throat. It was very stylish, and the final mirror battle with the boss of the group of three was pretty good, but the actor of the boss of the group of three had poor skills, and it was not addictive to watch. . The best thing was the final duel with Jason Statham, which was fistful and fierce.
The plot of the film is very strange in terms of the character's emotions. The ranger was originally a tragic figure surrounded by hatred, but here is full of coolness, hiding the tragedy under his face too deep, making the audience have little resonance. Generally speaking, let Jet Li show the ranger's unblinking coldness and ferocity as simple as handing in primary school homework. The indifferent characteristics of this role are familiar to Jet Li, and we are tired of watching it. It is not Jet Li’s fault that he failed to give the character more inner struggle and portrayal. Jie Ge has already completed the task on the script, but the script has not dig deep into it.
It probably tells the story of the two most rumored gangs in Asia: the triad in Japan and the triad in Hong Kong. But they are mixed with conspiracy and hatred. In the movie, we saw that there are no real good people in this world. Even though the police and FBI agents are serving the underworld, everyone is like a bug surrounded by spider silk, trying to break free from this big black web, but the more struggling. , The tighter this net is entangled, the more cruel it is. This is a net of interests, desires, hatred, and destiny. You can't escape. Even if you escape, there will still be an abyss below the net. So in such a world? What talent is justified, the hatred of the ranger, and the hatred of anyone is not unreasonable. When the hatred becomes reasonable, the world is as terrible as in the movie.
Such a ranger who did cruel things in a cruel world, the people who watched the film would somewhat weaken his violent aspect and sympathize with him. The same is true for the FBI agent played by Jason Statham. Although he betrays his friends, behind him is a huge black force threatening his family. Everything is not done. The source of the evil has long been hazy. In the evil, No one is right or wrong, we are all sinful people.
Finally, when the ranger handed the head of the trio boss to his daughter, his daughter's angry eyes meant that the hatred would not end.
It is claimed to be shooting three parts. In fact, the story is obviously going to be shot down here. I hope that in the sequel we will see more opponents and more fights. Different from Jackie Chan, Jet Li's Western movies are all R-rated, both pornographic and violent, and can better reflect the filth and filth of society, so let him be more pure next!
By the way, change to a better screenwriter.
How to say we are also Jie's hardcore fan!
I rate it two and a half stars.
