I went back and watched it last night. This movie is a retro and innovative revenge action movie. The director adopted a very clever way of making use of his strengths and circumventing weaknesses to tell the story of a retired killer who was killed by the organization he used to work for because of his dog and lover. Starting the story of revenge, I think the advantages of this film are as follows: 1. The director used retro rock music and modern electronic soundtrack to make a revenge film with a very serious story tone, while expressing violence and blood, it is full of dark humor, making This serious movie is more entertaining; 2. This is a very retro revenge movie, the characters don't have too many lines, so there are no scenes of chattering or embarrassing laughs to make up the time; 3. The overall tone of the movie is biased towards the style of classical movies, but different scenes will use different colors to create an atmosphere, and the director has also made certain improvements on this basis. Some important scenes have added pop and black humor styles. For example, the scene of assassinating the eldest son of the gangster in a classical nightclub is dominated by pops of red and blue contrasting colors, coupled with electronic music with a strong sense of rhythm, making an originally brutal and bloody assassination more relaxed and entertaining. ; 4. The soundtrack of the movie is more appropriate. Different scenes use different styles of soundtrack, and there will be no situation where the soundtrack is too noisy and will overwhelm guests. , wine, beauty, high-end occasions, the dark past of the protagonist and other classic elements are quite a lot; 6. The appearance design of the characters in the movie is relatively cool, and the slow motion of the protagonist when he kills the eldest son and the background when he exits the scene Blur is used very Chada. Although the advantages of this film are very dazzling, it also exposes many shortcomings, such as: 1. Due to the problem of funding, the story length and pattern of the film are compared to the same type of "Bourne Bourne" and "Disc". The old-fashioned gunfight action films such as Impossible" and "007" are relatively small in comparison, and the story space is somewhat insufficient. After watching it, it will give people a feeling of unfinished business; 2. The director himself should be a rough man, so he chose to take advantage and avoid it. It is harmful to tell a simple and crude revenge story that is humorous and cool at the same time, but at the same time it also exposes the hollow problems of character building and emotions in the movie. This also exists in most revenge movies produced at a low cost. The problem, in contrast, "007: Casino Royale" is very good in this regard. Director Martin Campbell arranged a lot of emotional scenes for a fledgling cold-blooded agent like Bond to describe the character's tough and tender side, making this traditional The serious and violent hero image is more three-dimensional; 3. The overall layout of the movie is relatively small, lacking various hot scenes like traditional action blockbusters, as well as thrilling stories like saving the world from crisis; 4. Although the movie does a good job in terms of coolness and fighting, the rhythm is a bit poor. It is difficult to show hearty hardcore fighting scenes while retaining the sense of reality like traditional action films such as "007: Casino Royale", "The Bourne Bourne" trilogy, and "Mission Impossible". The fighting design of the movie is cool but restrained at the same time, and the design of some fighting scenes even gives people a deliberately cool and cool feeling; 5. The design of the final battle is better than the previous assassinations. It seems a bit disappointing to say that it has completely turned into a turn-based fighting; 6. The design of the lines is too simple and rude, lacking the rich and concise layering of the "007: Casino Royale" and "The Bourne Bourne" trilogy; 7. Willem Dafoe's old helper role and the protagonist's emotional descriptions are not much, and there is no in-depth excavation of the past, so it looks very instrumental, and because the death scene is too cheerful, it leads to arouse the protagonist's follow-up revenge emotional mobilization There are some shortcomings; 8. The way of death of the female villain in the movie is a bit hasty, because it did not die at the hands of the protagonist, so the way of death is very unpleasant; 9. The overall story is too simple and rude, lacking a sense of suspense, and many plots are basically guessable ; 10. There are many colors in the movie, and most of the scenes are dominated by the collision of brown-yellow and red and blue. In addition, the contrast is relatively high, and the whole will give people a feeling of heavy taste and refreshing film, after watching it for a long time. There will be some physiological discomfort. Overall, this movie is the most interesting and creative revenge movie in recent years. While retaining the serious tone of traditional revenge movies, it has made more modern and entertaining innovations, but it may be due to the director's level. Because of the lack of funding, many parts of this movie just go to the point where it is done, which makes this excellent revenge movie seem very restrained, and it only stays at the level of a brainless movie, not like a classic action movie. Digging deeper that way leaves much to be desired in this excellent action film.
