"good movie

Doug Liman has never made such a "good" movie since "The Bournemouth 1". Even "Smiths" has not reached the level of this "Teleporter".

First of all, this is a time-saving movie. Compared with a movie that takes only two or three hours at every turn, the length of "Teleporter" is only about 80 minutes, which really saves the audience's time. It's hard to believe that all the elements of stunts, love, etc. are not lost in such a short period of time, but Doug Liman really did it.

Secondly, save your brain by watching this movie. The screenwriter did not show off knowledge to explain the cause of the abilities, set no traps in the plot to tease the audience, and did not play with emotions with hatred and love. Enter the theme fast enough, and the story is straightforward enough, so that the audience does not have to think hard and waste brain cells in order to figure out the plot.

Third, it is not kitsch. Think about it, which of the super heroes in commercial movies is not dedicated to saving people’s lives, and Teleporter is not so vulgar. The character played by Hayden at the age of fifteen has lived eight years of leisurely life by robbing a bank. Because of love, he has become the hero the screenwriter hopes for; in this way, Samuel has no choice but to become a contra Portrayed as a cold-blooded hunter, even if he is dedicated to the country and the people. This subversion of traditional good and evil settings is quite experimental and a rare innovation.

In addition, “good” movies need highlights, and Teleporter is no exception. The appearance of the characters is very purposeful. The role of David's father is to finally die so as to exaggerate the atmosphere. Even if he has the identity of a drunkard, he can't see his influence on David's childhood life. Diane Lane is almost outside the plot, and seems to be dedicated to this. A role set up by an outdated big-name player. The character dialogue is also very exciting, basically after listening to the previous sentence, you know what to say next. The plot is more classic and traditional. After seeing half of it, everyone can guess how it ends. Speaking of the end, Samuel was thrown into such an immortal place. Could it be that he wanted to make a sequel? That screenwriter is really ambitious!

Such a "good" movie is only one step away from perfection, that is, the story goes from Egypt to Japan, then Rome and London. What is this not a gimmick? Good movies don't need gimmicks. In any case, the Golden Plum Award is calling it, congratulations to the Teleporter.
