An old-school B-movie

The name of the movie "The Big Bombing" is ominous. Its twists and turns, the major illegal acts involved in it, and the very bad social impact caused by it, seem to be more important than the movie itself." wonderful" much.

With Cui Yongyuan's frequent reports, I had a hunch that it would be difficult for this movie to be released as scheduled. Sure enough, it was postponed, and it was finally withdrawn, and there was not even any suspense in it. The only unexpected thing is that "The Big Bomb" was released as scheduled in North America, of course, in a small area, and there was almost no splash.

The version that has been released online now has only 80 minutes after the lengthy subtitles are removed, which is actually 50 minutes shorter than the unreleased version, but perhaps it is not bad. In the film, the plot is no longer important, the protagonist is the endless explosion: the plane in the sky explodes, the street on the ground explodes; the enemy makes an explosion, and the people avoid the explosion; the explosion promotes the plot, the explosion creates suspense, and the explosion is overwhelming, making the audience watch the so-called spectacle.

Except for the big bang, most of the other scenes are absurd and ridiculous. Wu Gang took two little pigs of the British royal breed to cross the war zone to Chongqing to do breeding research. Fan Wei's son sacrificed to protect the pigs, but in the end he did not explain where the pigs went; Adrien Brody is in the middle of the film Only suddenly appeared, and immediately pulled Huang Shengyi to be blown up to death, I'm really sorry for the Oscar winner's tablet. As for Fan Bingbing, who has the biggest gimmick, it is as if the extra actors only have a few seconds of scenes, which is jaw-dropping.

But there are still a few bright spots in this film, such as Ma Su's blunt Northeast big ballast-flavored acting, which almost creates an alternative comedy effect. At the end, when she was in a hurry to bridal room with Liu Ye, a dud bomb came through the room, Liu Ye hurriedly shot the bomb naked, and Fan Wei, who was playing mahjong downstairs, also desperately helped, and performed a domestic film. Some dark humor.

In addition to Liu Ye, another person with the most dramas is Han Xing Song Seung-heon, but his function is mainly to sell meat. First, Liu Ye ripped off his clothes and directly used his fingers to buckle bullets from the flesh. Later, he fought with William Chan in the rain in order to grab a high-end plane (the wound miraculously healed). Although he acted recklessly, he showed a kind of stupidity. The cuteness is lovable, much better than the middle-aged Liu Ye showing pork belly!

Director Xiao Feng once said that the post-production was done at his own expense, and the effect was naturally unsatisfactory. I believe this movie has the potential to be a "blockbuster", but it's a pity that it can only be presented to American audiences in a mutilated form.
