It should be said that this film is not a very representative work in Banderas's career, and even many people will ignore it, but personally think it is a very tasteful film, very resistant to chewing. For some reason, this film always makes me eager to watch it again after watching it, as if I didn't actually watch it every time I watched it. Bain, played by Banderas, changed from the melancholic and melancholic classic hero model in "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" and became a genius killer who was cynical, playful, but at the same time calm, sophisticated, cold-blooded and cruel. These two completely different styles are manifested in one person. It is by no means that the director's level is so poor that improper grasp of the characters results in a split of the character style. On the contrary, it can be said to be a clumsy coincidence, and the audience is made to be weird with the narrative. The character gradually refined the character's experience. In the film, Rath starring Stallone is a senior killer. His many years of rough experience have created Rath's calm and capable style. On the surface, Bain of the two protagonists is a young man who likes to jump up. He can say whatever he thinks, without any scruples, even the middleman who claims to be a lady who is his parents, who can be said to be his parents; and Rath He is a steady mature man, and what he thinks in his heart is not the same as what he says. But from the perspective of the inner portrayal, the two people’s personalities are interchangeable. Rath is mature on the surface, but still pursues an ideal and romance in his bones; Bain is cruel and bloodthirsty, and he wants to kill the older generation Rath by all means for the sake of the heroine. There is no sympathy.
The life of a killer is always forced to be distorted compared to ordinary people. Rath has been in this business for too long. He has seen all kinds of scenes and experienced all tragedies. Once he was young and frivolous, hoping to make some achievements in the field of killers, so he dared to kill anyone, whether it was his partner or a senior who had retired. No matter what kind of person it is, as long as it becomes a target one day, it is to kill without mercy. It should be said that his perseverance and professional ethics have created his reputation as the number one killer. Suddenly one day he realized and found that what he yearned more was the life of ordinary people, and the job of a killer was no longer a career pursuit for him, but just a career. So he decided to take another vote and take all the money to retreat, but fate did not allow him to slap his ass away so smoothly, just as he arranged for him to kill the idol killer in his mind, his fate is also the same. He arranged for a fan dedicated to kill him. Bain has always been an admirer of Rath and has always been proud of imitating Rath. Suddenly he woke up one day and realized that imitating can never surpass Rath, so he deliberately avoided imitation. As long as Rath used the gun type, Bain would give up Use it. Originally, the two men did their own work, but their destiny seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand, gradually bringing their destiny trajectory to a fusion. In the beginning, they hated each other, but finally discovered that all this was a deliberate arrangement of forces.
The reason I like this film is first of all Bain's character. He is the source of humor in this film. Banderas's image of acting cool is subverted in this film. Of course, he is as cool as ever when he kills. The other point is the lines. I like the dialogue very much. Since I watched this film at that time, many classic lines in it have become my common expressions, such as "I am tired, I have no time to accompany you Hara (Dead tired. Save the chitchat for someone else.)” There are some dialogues that only have a taste in English: “I get out, pow, you got me.” “Rath: She likes me. Electra: She likes dead fish, too.”
In short, positive As I said earlier, this film has a lot to chew. If you just take a glimpse of it, you won’t be able to taste anything, especially for this film that is jointly dedicated by two styles of actor.
