"Speed Attack" is one of the few highly stylized films that can capture the essence of Gu Long's novels. In this pedigree, there are probably only "Evil in the East" and "Sin City", plus this "Speed" Special Attack and its predecessors. Surprisingly, none of these films had anything to do with Gu Long's novel. "Fast Attack" is the sequel and upgraded version of "Fast Pursuit". It is a movie that can be watched without the previous plot, and the plot can be guessed without spoilers, so its core is not the plot, but In its expression: minimalist style, sharp movements, and a lonely heart. This kind of expression makes "Quick Attack" feel like reading Gu Long's novels. Fast Attack is an absolutely character-centric film, and it uses a very literary approach to its portrayal of characters: a combination of side-by-side and front-facing. The protagonist John Wick has not yet appeared, and there has been a period of awe-inspiring comments on him. In addition, the waiter at the Continental Hotel has a special respect for him, which further highlights that John is an unusual character. The positive description focuses on killing, with headshots at close range, broken limbs with bare hands, short blades joining together, and the legendary "Pencil Killing" that paved the way for two episodes. "The title given by the killer world. In addition to the protagonist, other characters are also very personalized. Even Gianna, the target of John Wick's assassination, can die with her own dignity, which is unforgettable. There is no female lead in "Speed Attack", the emotions of men and women are only hidden in John Wick's heart in the form of videos and memories, as the softest part of his heart and the untouchable pain. The softer the inner core, the harder the outer shell of "Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, and gods block and kill gods". This also makes the audience have a greater sense of sympathy and substitution for the characters: whose heart has never been gentle. The special feature of "Speed Attack" is that it not only portrays the image of a killer with distinctive personality, but also shapes the vigorous organization of the Continental Hotel. The Continental Hotel and the huge system behind it are like the mysterious organization Qinglong Club in Gu Long's novels. The purpose of this huge organization is to kill only, but it embodies a certain law of fairness: the spirit of contract, and those who can live in it. In addition to believing in the spirit of contracts based on money, the Continental Hotel also pays considerable respect to some ancient and bloody law of justice. But rules are rules, and when John Wick took "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" When the "Old Testament" style revenge broke the "can't kill" rule in the Continental Hotel, although he received limited protection from the Continental Hotel Manager, he was also hunted down by the entire organization. With the pursuit and escape as an open ending, we are full of expectations for the next part. As a result, the lines of the Speedy series began to become clear: against a certain underworld boss, against a quasi-high-level executive of the mainland hotel, and even against the mainland hotel system. In a sense, this is a movie that can only belong to Keanu Reeves. Because Keanu Reeves himself has a high degree of compatibility with John Wick: a hidden peerless master. Keanu Reeves stood in his thirties. At the age of thirty, he shot the first Hollywood blockbuster "Speed of Life" that was introduced to China. Later, he launched the classic love film "Wandering in the Clouds", which was even shot in the early 20th century. The epoch-making sci-fi masterpiece "The Matrix" trilogy. Perhaps because of family and life changes, perhaps because of his melancholy and tranquil personality, Keanu did not strike while the iron was hot, but faded out of the screen, hid his merits and fame, and lived a frugal and peaceful life, only taking up some small-budget productions. It can be said that the killer who used to be all-powerful in Vanity Fair and was in the limelight for a while, but now just wants to live a peaceful life is the portrayal of Keanu Reeves himself. This is Keanu Reeves alone.
