Personally, I really like this kind of tough action movies. But the more you watch these kinds of movies, you sometimes get confused, because the more you watch these kinds of movies, the easier it is to be aesthetically tired. The play is the same, the plot is old-fashioned, and the actors are not necessarily keen on acting in such movies. Therefore, in the prevalence of superheroes today, wanting to find a tough action movie that will surprise people is simply the gospel for us movie fans.

If the movie "Quick Hunter" is still a little bit behind what I said, then its sequel-"Quick Attack" can undoubtedly bear this name. After all, such a distinctive no-brain film is hard to find. After watching it, I have been thinking about why "Quick Attack" can meet most of my requirements for tough action movies. Finally, I found the answer: professionalism.
As far as professionalism is concerned, let’s take two movies as examples: "The Dog in the Water" and "The Bourne".

MR.PINK in "Falling Water Dog" is a very typical example: he neither talks about loyalty, nor is he spine like other people. But he understands the hazards of revealing his name in the action; in order to avoid police ambush and hide the diamond elsewhere in advance; in the last chaotic gunfight, he was the only winner (provided not to be caught by the police). "Professional" is a long-lasting word in MR.PINK's mouth, and it is this word that MR.PINK can get away with in this chaotic movie.

The professionalism in the other movie, "The Bourne," is even more ridiculous. The role of Jason Bourne can become the best in many special agent movies. Among them, the culmination of the special agent’s professional skills is indispensable: Bourne knows how to create chaos in an outnumbered situation to create an advantage for himself; to obtain targets through the Internet, phone books and newspapers Key information; good use of all daily necessities when fighting, such as ballpoint pens, magazines, dictionaries, towels, etc. It is these calm, cool, and real-life secret agent skills that make Jason Bourne so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And the protagonist I want to talk about: John Wick is also a professional killer. As far as the professional quality of the killer is concerned, he is absolutely top-notch. Otherwise, how could he have been in the killer world for so many years? I won’t talk about the basics such as data investigation and equipment purchase before the target is killed. If you really do it, the gun headshots, no matter whether you are dead or alive, headshots are always the safest way to make a knife; you have to count the number of bullets carefully when you kill again, and the guns of the guns are absolutely unambiguous; When holding the gun, you must keep the gun close to your torso. Look at the few soldiers who were robbed of the gun. The arm stretched out when holding the gun. The gun will miss in a few seconds; don’t chat with the villain. Just go ahead, let's talk about it with a headshot.

The protagonist halo is a very difficult problem. Too much, the audience will involuntarily begin to have a sense of rejection; too little, the plot is difficult to continue. Therefore, how to rationalize the protagonist's halo is a problem that the main creators must consider. For me. "Professionalism" is one of the best answers. Because to some extent, professionalism and strength are directly proportional. In the movie, the higher the professional quality of a character is shaped, the audience will naturally think that his/her strength is higher. And because the strength is inversely proportional to the protagonist's halo, the power of the protagonist's halo will be weakened to the greatest extent in the movie.

The professionalism of the role is certainly important, but behind the scenes it is the hard work of the film creators who silently support it. Lighting, scenery, soundtrack, props, special effects, performances, action directors, and extremely important screenwriters and directors. It is their extremely professional film attitude that has created such a unique killer movie. Therefore, they are the most professional.
