The type of story where one person singles out a gangster has to be reminiscent of Keanu Reeves' "Quick Pursuit", also known as "The Bloody Case Caused by a Dog". All are a retired old killer or old agent, all are a Russian gangster who kills without blinking an eye, and all are Russian gangsters who have been beheaded.
This same pattern of movies has sprung up one after another, and it has to make people suspect that the cancer cells of Hollywood superhero movies have spread to gangster movies.
Watch a movie. Most people still have a cool picture!
Compared with the bloody case caused by the dog, the story pace of "The Avenger" is much slower, and the characters and the causes of the story are progressing smoothly. Two of the most prominent features of Denzel Washington's Old Agents:
First, obsessive-compulsive disorder, whether in your own home or not, things must be neatly arranged and have extremely strict control over time.
Second, love to read, read on the bus to and from get off work, read in the restaurant at night, and read outside the ward when visiting prostitutes.
Of course, these two details play an indispensable role in shaping the character's image. We can speculate that the obsessive-compulsive disorder is a habit developed in his work when he was young. Every task he does requires extremely precise control of time, and the slightest carelessness will kill him, and the severity of this obsessive-compulsive disorder also implies that The danger and difficulty of his work.
The love of reading is to supplement his emotions. He is an old widower, and his wife has never even appeared in a photo. Except that his wife is dead, we have no way of knowing any emotional content of him. And his wife had to read a hundred books and did not finish it. The details that he decided to help her complete proved his deep affection for his wife.
The old secret agent played by Denzel Washington, all his identity information is not displayed positively, but is deliberately hidden, in order to achieve the effect of surprise. But it can't be too outrageous, the laying of details is to balance the gap between the surprising and the impossible.
But it's a pity that when the purpose of the details was achieved, the director actually abandoned them all. Denzel Washington's obsessive-compulsive disorder has weakened, at least the number of shots has been reduced, and he is not as sensitive to time as before. He no longer pinches often. stopwatch.
In this way, the repeated prominence in the front and the abrupt end in the back make people extremely uncomfortable. When thinking about these details, they will feel that the appearance of these details is very blunt.
I'm even wondering if details like this are really appropriate to suggest that there may be a more appropriate way of Denzel Washington's identity than OCD.
