before commenting on the film, it is necessary to review Jet Li’s Hollywood struggle history:
1998, "Fatal Weapon 4", release: Warner, global box office: $285 million, budget: 1.40 billion dollars
in 2000, "Romeo Must Die" issue: Warner, global box office: 9.1 million US dollars, budget: $ 25 million
in 2001, "Kiss of the Dragon", issue: Twentieth century Fox, the global box office: 6.4 ten million US dollars, budget: 25 million US dollars.
2001, "The Savior", released: Sony (Revolution), global box office: 72 million US dollars, no budget.
2002, "Fatal Cradle", released: Warner, global box office: 5.6 thousand Ten thousand US dollars, budget: 25 million US dollars
In 2005, "Danny the Wolf Dog", released: ROGUE PICTURES, global box office: 50 million US dollars, budget: 45 million US dollars. It
stands to reason that if this trend continues, the consequences will be serious. .Obviously Hollywood is no longer suitable for Jet Li’s development. He seems to understand this too. After returning to China, he cooperated with Lao Mouzi on "Hero", and the response was enthusiastic. If "Hero" is not a pure Jet Li movie, then he cooperated with Yu Rentai later. "Huo Yuanjia" is an out-and-out JET LI FILM. Jet Li, who has seen the true meaning of martial arts, re-interpreted a generation of masters and ignited the long-lost passion in our hearts. I thought he would not get involved in Hollywood action movies anymore, but I didn’t expect it. Jet Li, who is no longer making martial arts movies, brainstormed another "Rangeman". Seeing the coolness of Jason Statham and Jet Li’s face-to-face on the poster, I couldn’t help but bought a DVD and watched it. Jason Statham, who once became a new generation of Hollywood macho action stars in the "Destiny Express" series, joined forces, which made people look forward to it, but soon my expectations fell to nothing. Let me talk about the movie first:
1. At the beginning of the movie, Jason has a walking chase scene with Jet Li. The design of jumping from house to house is obviously copied from Jackie Chan's "Hongfan District" and Chen Musheng's "Men's True Colors", and copied Quite ugly.
2. Although the killer Jet Li’s pursuit is clean and tidy, there is no technology at all. Any killer can do it.
3. The chaotic gunfights in Japanese restaurants are really messy, gunfights. The scene is too ordinary.
4, Jet Li and Jason's car chase scene, how can it be a bad word, to be honest, the car chasing scene of our domestic movies is also above it.
5. Japanese Ninja battle, here, Jet Li proves to us A gun is the most effective solution. Since there is a gun, then I'm still looking at it!
6, the ultimate battle of the Japanese sword battle, it is easy to think of the Eiffel Tower battle between Jackie Chan VS Sanada Hiroyuki in "Age Hour 3", both are bad enough, but at least the latter has the Eiffel Tower. Look, and the former...
7, Jet Li VS Jason, the ultimate battle, finally waited until the two of them played against each other. Seriously, I insisted on watching the whole movie. I was waiting for this moment, but the battle that ended early is amazing. Very disappointed. At the end of the film, an unacceptable truth was revealed. The director must have foolishly thought that we would be surprised by the ending, which is really sad!
Let’s talk about the actors:
1. Zun Long, who has been in Hollywood for many years, as early as in "Cutting Edge 2", let us remember this villain with personality. He also collaborated with Li Wen on his debut novel "Entertaining Yourself".
I’m not going to talk about the roles that are purely similar. 2, Zheng Haonan, seeing him, I was a little surprised. This Hong Kong police professional has already had two movies on the file this year: "The True Colors of Men" and "The Fall "Head", the box office results are good, this time the role of the gangster did not shine, and died earlier.
3. DEVON AOKI, everyone may feel strange, Xiao Nizi began to become popular from "Fast and Passion 2", and then in "Criminal She is well-known in "City of the City", and later appeared in Yuan Kui's "Life and Death Fighting". She is a full-fledged beating girl. It is natural to play the cruel and cruel daughter of a big brother.
4. Jason Statham, I want to criticize, I thought it was Brother Xiao Ma by biting a toothpick, which insulted my idol.
