"The Avenger" is a crime action film directed by Anthony Fuqua, adapted from a crime series that aired on CBS in the 1980s, directed by Denzel Washington, Cole Co-starring Lo Moretz, it was released in the United States on September 26, 2014. I need everyone to see a name clearly, that is Denzel Washington, the black actor who won the 74th Academy Award for Best Actor in 2002 with the movie "Training Day", said to be the treasure of Hollywood's town house. It's no exaggeration to know that the last black actor to win this honor was Sidney Poitier's outstanding performance in 1964 with the film "Lilies of the Field", and Sidney Poitier won it. Thierry was the first black actor in American film history.
Back to this "The Avenger," the story tells the story of a former Black Ops commando McCall (Denzel Washington), when tired of fighting and blood, and even feeling that he no longer needs to start a killing for anyone, He even created the illusion of his own death in exchange for that peaceful life. There are many scenes in the film depicting McCall's daily life. He enjoys it, helping Ralph lose weight to take the security exam, and become a The object of other people's bets, calling himself Pip, dances retro dances, and even sits in a diner at two in the morning to tell Chloe Moretz's young prostitute Teri the ending of "The Old Man and the Sea", and the whole story is in the daily life. After the trivial and ordinary, it will eventually become enthusiastic, and this starting point is the young prostitute Terry. In order to save the young prostitute Terry, who is increasingly in crisis, McCall decided to take another shot, and the few people he spent 28 seconds to clean up were one. A stronghold of a huge gangster organization, but he has no intention of stopping. He understands, do what you have to do. Remember what the female detective said when McCall asked for help? "He didn't come to ask for help, he just asked for approval." And so, an unfair duel began.
Although I do not deny that this is an adaptation of the film, the blandness of the script cannot be made up for, and the outdated subject matter is also one of the problems that this film is criticized for. However, director Anthony Fuqua has the ability to combine dynamism and elegance at the same time. Together, they not only grasped the action and suspense, but also did not hesitate to create a quiet atmosphere to shape the calmness and loneliness of the protagonist, and Denzel Washington and Anthony Fuqua kept a very high standard in the design of the action scenes, allowing People find it enjoyable. For example, when the female clerk in the construction market was robbed at the cash register, or even the family ring that was robbed, he did not attack, but silently remembered the license plate number of the car the robber was driving when he fled, and then the camera turned. , McCall took off a hammer, turned it again, the female clerk's ring appeared inexplicably in the machine operated by the cashier, and in the next scene, McCall wiped the blood on the hammer and put it back On the shelves, there are many such blank spaces in the movie. While saving time, it reasonably and not far-fetched hints at the strength and mystery of the male protagonist.
The most exciting part of it is the duel in the construction market. In fact, the duel is not very accurate. It should be called a one-sided massacre. The taste of it, all the judges, please taste it for yourself!
Some people said that the hero's excessive strength made the whole film not feel like a lot of even-handed confrontation, and even the suspense setting would be a little pale. In the last scene, McCall single-handedly destroyed the gang's headquarters in Russia, but think about it carefully. , what we want to see is the irresistibility of this kind of justice, he is a fire that is about to be extinguished, he is gentle and humble in ordinary days, but there is one thing, don't mess with him, because he hates all sins, swears He would not tolerate evil. At that time, he was very dazzling. He burned the evil and pierced the darkness at the same time, just like the background music used in the duel in the construction market. The song is called Vengeance, Chinese name, revenge.... ..
