Veterans don't die, they just fade away

From "Life and Death" to "The Matrix", as always, the enigmatic Hollywood handsome guy, Keanu Reeves, should have been prosperous and improved to a higher level, action, science fiction, literature and art are all types Classic, civil and military, and the result is a mysterious sinking, almost forgotten by mainland audiences, and mistaken for being inextricable in a C-level movie such as "The Man of Tai Chi", Keanu Reeves is just a non-mainstream blockbuster. This is the predecessor of "Quick Preparation", the story of a dog and a car, let him make a comeback!

The whole series of "Quick Preparation" is set up and the story is laid out. In fact, the storyline is relatively simple, which can be called a cool movie. During the viewing process, you only need to care or pay attention to where and how to play, and whether you are happy or not. , This is similar to watching Stallone's "The Expendables" series, the action is the signature.

Very pleasantly surprised, the Hollywood goddess Halle Berry played a supporting role 20 years ago, and I really have some expectations. (This also shows that Keanu Reeves' series of Quick Attack has returned to the mainstream perspective of Hollywood), put aside this In terms of the third part, in fact, the story that started can be ended in the second part. It is really not easy for this part to force Keanu Reeves to turn over a Jedi.

This movie goes to the third part, and the highlights are concentrated in two parts, one is the action and the other is the dog. Although the dog in the film does not appear much, it does set the tone for the story, which not only echoes the previous story of the first part, but also strengthens the difference of the dog. At the same time, it also declares that in the cold-blooded killer world, there is also love and commitment, which is like a fire in the dark.

Compared with the previous work, the action scenes of this one have been upgraded in an all-round way. First of all, the action scenes are more diverse, from the arsenal battle, the street battle, the motorcycle battle, the Bruce Lee-like battle in the mirror, etc., which are all the symbols of the movie. . Secondly, the actors are more inclined to professional action experts. The bald killer in it, who once worked with Jet Li and is a kung fu master, and what surprised action fans a little bit is the penultimate appearance, with Keanu Reeves' double Zhan, these two masters are action stars in Southeast Asia, both villains of the "Raid" series, first-class players (it is very likely that they are also the action directors of this movie, and of course they may be Yuan Heping's apprentice Chen Hu ).

Keanu Reeves, in the movie is set to retire for five years, in fact, from the fighting scenes in the film, Keanu Reeves is really powerless, especially when facing these kung fu masters later, although in the end If you win, you are actually powerless. Every time you reach the critical moment of the fight, your opponent loses the chain. If you pay attention a little, you will find that the actions of each master fight in the second half of the movie, and the actions of the villain in the second half. It's very incoherent, because of the stagnant state, this is a bit abrupt, deliberately so, not very appropriate.

The flaws do not hide the truth, such small details, these are not the point of the story of rapid preparation, the point is: as long as Keanu Reeves and his dog continue to bravely go on and overturn the domination of the high table, then what? All good to say.

Looking forward to the fourth part (expected in 2021), and looking forward to the second appearance of Halle Berry!
