Different from Hollywood-style spy war movies, as a spy war action movie produced in Sweden, the portrayal of the agent in "National Interest" gives people a cold and realistic Nordic atmosphere, but the cold His style is also a double-edged sword. While showing a decidedly different real Nordic tough guy, the rhythm control seems a little dull.
In fact, Nordic films have always been a relatively niche subject, and their style in modern films is deeply influenced by Ingmar Bergman's stern and tragic style, the Swedish film giant. On this point, "National Interests" "The same is true, whether it is from the tragic exaggeration of the male protagonist's agent's mistakenly killing his girlfriend, or the consideration between personal interests and national interests, in fact, while building the depth of the film, you can get a glimpse of the clear imprint of Swedish films. It is definitely different from the British 007 beauties surrounded by beauties, and the exaggerated reality of romance also creates the precipitation of the film itself.
Mikael Persbrandt is undoubtedly the finishing touch of this work. He plays a seasoned and sophisticated spy. His calmness in the movie and the cold-hearted style of the movie can be said to be integrated, which is particularly impressive. "There is almost no extra emotional drama, but through his manslaughter of his girlfriend, the pain of tragic and sorrow is on the horizon, and in the face of national interests, the fight for life and the neatness of the gunfight action section are even more prominent. There is a strong atmosphere. This makes this tragic hero form the unique charm of the movie itself.
On the whole, "The National Interest" is actually a slightly immature work. If the film inherits the unique atmosphere of Sweden in style, then in terms of background content, the reference to "The Bourne" Byrne does not It was too successful, from Sweden to Somalia to Afghanistan and other places, although it can be seen that it hopes to create a background that is comparable to Hollywood, but the film itself cannot support such a background in the narrative, so the film Although there is an iron-blooded tough guy, the lack of climax and the deviation in rhythm control are only minor flaws, but for an action spy film, the loss of rhythm control will undoubtedly be more magnified.
For audiences who are accustomed to watching Hollywood hero popcorn, "The National Interest" can be said to have brought a unique agent tough guy, and the self-contained style of Nordic movies is also the most charming base color of the movie.
