Barely passable popcorn chips worth the fare

The budget is mainly spent on the salaries of the actors. Except for the cast, there is almost no blockbuster feeling, no big scenes, and the plot feels a bit like a child playing a house.

The dating dialogue at the beginning points out the feminist theme of the whole movie, and then it is a bit interesting that the man on the date is an Asian. It is estimated that Asian men are more macho in the impression of Westerners.

In the whole film, the male characters are mostly bad guys. There are old, middle and young people of all ages. Does the director want to say that there are not many good things for men? (Khan) The male positive characters are only laboratory cleanliness, engineering, male, and fresh meat. And Bosley, the black who got a box lunch not long after the movie started, as for the role of "Saint", it's a bit confusing which side is the pros and cons. Kuzhong knocked off the chewing gum in her hand), which makes people feel a bit baffling, is it because the man's "low emotional intelligence" is rude and hurts a woman's feelings without knowing it? Maybe I'm too sensitive~

The tragic death of several men is expected to make the female audience who hate men hooked. Some were electrocuted, some were crushed by a stone crusher, and some were kicked down from the upstairs and fell to their death. How tragic Come on, director, how much hatred do you have with men?

What also reveals the director's gender is the emphasis on clothing in the film. Clothes are always a favorite item for women. The first door that was opened when introducing weapons to Elena was a room full of various clothes. A woman's body is an important weapon in the fight against the enemy, so the clothes that wrap the body are also one of the weapons of the angels. The real weapons in the second door are also very feminine, mostly small, cute, chic and non-lethal types. , in stark contrast to the dazzling array of deadly guns as soon as the secret door to the arsenal is opened in male shootout films.

The reversal of the role of the good guy and the bad guy, the boss, is quite attractive.

The overall feeling is quite disappointing, and the creators are not at all careless, but perhaps the investment company is stingy with the budget, the film does not have a blockbuster style, and the box office score is so unsatisfactory, no one can blame others.
