The film is like the airplane version of "Speed of Life". On a flight from New York to London, Uncle Bill, the air police officer on the mission, received a mysterious text message threatening that the government must send a huge sum of money to a secret account or kill a passenger on the flight every 20 minutes. In order to save the innocent lives of the passengers, Bill Meng started a series of battles of wits and bravery with the criminals hiding in the dark at an altitude of 10,000 meters under the condition of being unjustly wronged and helpless. The film is full of suspense, fast paced, and strong storytelling. In the cabin like a confined space, the dark blue tone shows a sense of mystery, and the suspense spreads out step by step during the cruising camera, bringing out the feeling of turmoil, and the use of a large number of close-up and facial close-up shows the anxiety, pain and courage of the characters. , the atmosphere created by the passengers' lives hanging on, let the tension permeate the cramped space, making people gasp for breath.
The film is a typical thriller narrative three-part structure. In the first 20 minutes, a lot of character identities were explained and foreshadowed. After that, a large section of the main suspense and the natural reasoning of finding criminals began. At the end, visual effects were used to enhance the thrilling color. The process of finding the suspect is obviously the most eye-catching. The air policeman who transported the drugs was beaten to death, the captain was poisoned to death, and the bankruptcy lawyer suddenly died. The three consecutive deaths are all hidden secrets. The limited killing methods forced Bill into submission, while the latter, in a rush against the clock, faced the passengers' appearances, and eagerly started reasoning to find the hidden gangster. The whole process of Bill's search for the culprit also makes the audience think and judge along with it, guessing who the murderer is! In a word, the film sets up a lot of suspense to mobilize and attract the attention of the audience, and the suspense is not created by tricks, but uses accurate details to continuously draw out the steps of the plot development.
Despite being an entertaining movie, Air Rescue somehow reveals a sense of American skepticism about aviation security and Hollywood's dislike of the war on terror. The two hijackers in the film were ex-soldiers who went to the battlefield to fight terrorism, but became terrorists because they were disappointed with reality. Although the motive for hijacking was money, they mainly took the opportunity to prove that American aviation security is still Lots of loopholes. Perhaps, one of the purposes of the film is to beat the US politicians, and aviation security should be improved in a real and fundamental way.
Liam Neeson is undoubtedly the biggest trump card of the film. He has passed his sixtieth year and is not only extraordinary and fearless in the performance of the play, but also uses the melancholy between his eyebrows and the confusion and confusion in his eyes to convey the edge of a lost girl. The air policeman was suffering in his heart, and when looking for the hijacker, he showed the uncle's strength, anxiety, anger, loneliness, and exhaustion. Julian Moore, who just won the Cannes Best Actress crown in the new year, used a skillful performance to create a charming woman who was adrift due to heart disease. She formed a good chemistry with Liam Neeson. Very interesting. Scott McNair, who had a good performance in "Escape from Tehran", was young but experienced. This time he played the hijacker suspect, depicting the characters' fear and struggle under madness. In addition, "Miss Mary" Michelle Dockery in "Downton Abbey" also changed into a flight attendant uniform and appeared in a sweet and neat image, which is indeed unforgettable. In this way, the young and old are balanced with the starring starring lineup, which makes the film attractive to fans of all ages.
