After watching it, I realized that this film should not be viewed as an action movie, but as a comedy movie. The film is full of jokes, and the plot is too idiotic to stand up to scrutiny. The story is very simple. In order to avoid the pursuit, the retired old employees resisted to the end, and finally won the story. The idiot of the story is that this thing has something to do with the vice president of the United States, and the old guys kidnapped the vice president. Is the vice president of the United States so easy to catch?
Very happy after watching it. The film combines a variety of elements, but it is not a mashup, it is a fusion. First of all, the way the film starts is very funny. The retired old detective is bored at home and makes excuses to chat with the telephone operator in order to pass the time. Moreover, it was Christmas, and he didn't know until everyone else put up the Christmas tree. This old guy has a really boring life.
The character building of the film is also very interesting. For example, his old partner, an old man who is more eccentric than the other, has an old woman, is neurotic and almost crazy, and an old woman who talks about murder. They are either CIA or MI6 or КГВ. All of these old guys feel dull about their boring retirement.
In addition to the shaping of characters, the film also broke the inherent mode of action film shooting. The action scenes of the whole film are not to make the audience feel the bloody pleasure, but to describe the absurdity of each battle from another angle through the grasp of the details of the battle. The most typical is the showdown between the female real estate manager and John Malkovich. Bazooka vs. pistol, the posture of two people is completely the posture of a western movie duel. From the switching of the camera to the close-up of the characters, the eyes of the characters are full of joy in my opinion. It almost made me die of laughter, this is an action movie, it's clearly a Japanese manga. The rest of the film's action scenes are also full of banter. For example, the fight at the beginning of the siege of the house, the bullets scattered all over the floor, and the method of kidnapping the vice president at the end of the movie all seem like a kind of child's game, a little mentally retarded and a little idiotic.
Of course, other than the action scenes, other aspects are also hilarious. For example, the otaku who likes adventurous stories, the postcards that change with the scene, and the various cities where the characters appear, one in Chicago, one in New York, one in summer, one in winter, the director is really busy. The style of the whole film is like this, an atypical action movie.
This film is an old guy as the protagonist, an old man and an old lady. Still, Bruce Willis didn't look like a man in his late sixties, with the same athleticism as before. Other old men and women are not material for action movies at all. The posture and shape are very cool, but when you pick up a gun and fight, it's not like that. John Malkovich was better, Helen Mirren didn't look like that. You guys should be obedient and go perform literary films.
The whole film is an old man and an old lady, and it is estimated that no one wants to watch it. So, there is also a young woman in the film. She is called a "girl" in the film, but looking at her thick crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, she is over forty years old, and she still wants to be a "girl"? If you compare it with those old men and women, of course she is a girl. The heroine is not very beautiful, but she doesn't have a taste, a woman's taste... I can't tell. In short, she is quite competent as a "girl".
Overall, a very good-looking atypical action film that subverts tradition and is well worth watching.
