Heroic fantasy of a bunch of old guys

Originally thought it was a very vulgar blockbuster: big names, a lot of bullets, beautiful women in arms, a big conspiracy, a happy ending, a standard popcorn movie, so I didn't report much hope, but maybe my expectations were too low, and I watched this film instead I was overjoyed, much more than I expected.

If you’re like me, you’re used to seeing muscular guys and babes running through the hail of bullets unscathed and eventually always turning defeat into victory and knocking down the enemy, then a group of Obasan and Ogasan with Swedish submachine guns, sniper rifles and bazookas are in full swing. The scene of Yilehu is obviously more able to find your burning point. Since John Malkovich came out with a pink pig doll, the film really began to enter into a very enjoyable rhythm. His old man's entertainment spirit of shooting missiles with bullets saved the Nth boring time for the scene of bullet time. Copy; Her Royal Highness with a gun in one hand and a flower in one hand, can you be more funny, one second you are handsome with a sniper rifle, the next second you are like a little girl; break into the CIA headquarters; "Ming" Killing the vice president... I'll go, there are still things these old people dare not do?

The Chinese-style fantasy of the elderly is the joy of a family full of children and grandchildren. If you add a chessboard and a few tea friends to talk about the bravery of the past, it will be extremely happy. However, the elderly in foreign countries are always old-fashioned: we want beautiful women! young! Sexy! We still have to fight, ignoring the theory that boxing is afraid of young people, and the young people who fight are looking for teeth! We're going to smash those conspiracies! We're going to kill anyone who wants to kill us, whether it's the killer or the vice president! How to have fun!

hey anyway, those old dude hero fantasies, always respectable

RED quotes

  • Joe Matheson: We're gettin' the band back together.

  • [Frank calls Cooper on the phone; Cooper is told to stall him while the call is traced]

    Frank Moses: Here's the thing, Cooper. With age... comes a certain perspective. I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a time when I was exactly like you. Blind ambition. Misplaced trust.

    William Cooper: Why are you telling me this?

    Frank Moses: It may help me to decide what to do next.

    Interrogation Surveillance Tech: [technician tracing the call whispering to Cooper] Just keep it going.

    William Cooper: Why? What are you thinking about?

    Frank Moses: Our business is a very hard one. But it was never the, uh... the killing or the stress, the bad pay that bothered me.

    William Cooper: Well, what was it, Frank?

    Frank Moses: It's how anything that you love... can be taken away from you. It taught me never to care. Never to invest. Then I met this woman. Sarah. And now you have her. Now I can't think of anything more horrible than to know that your enemies can hurt someone you love. The feeling is almost indescribable.

    [the trace completes, and the technician hands Cooper a printout]

    Frank Moses: You still there, Cooper?

    William Cooper: [horrified] You're at my house

    [Frank looks out the window into the yard where Cooper's wife and two children, unaware, are playing]

    Frank Moses: Almost indescribable, isn't it?

    William Cooper: [whispering] Please... Please don't hurt my family.

    Frank Moses: If anything happens to Sarah, I will rip everything you love out of your life. And then I'll kill you.
