The decline of tough guy movies is the extreme lack of female characters

I also sympathize with Shangge Yundun and Dufrongel. These two movie thieves worked hard, but the scripts they have basically seen from childhood to large are not very good, but it is a pity that they have a hard work.

The same is true for this movie. It’s just as exciting as the opening period when the police rape suddenly backhanded and killed his colleagues. It was the perfect reversal, and then it was mediocre.

The worst part of this kind of tough movie is the heroine shaping. Both the heroine and the heroine must be in good shape. This can be tolerated, but every time they are relatively thin, waiting for the hero to save, and then the reason for blackening. It looks very tenable, but it's actually very old-fashioned and buggy

Just like in the last movie made by Schwarzenegger, the policewoman who was kidnapped was normally kidnapped in the first half, and was written as a villain in the second half.

It seems that if you don’t make women like that, you won’t be able to satisfy some men’s desire to conquer, but I trouble you to write a little bit of logic and scripts. This kind of forced blackening will only make people feel suffocated.

In the same film, in theory, no matter whether she betrayed the male lead at the beginning or not, she never killed the male lead and the female lead from the beginning to the end, and she did not take the initiative to join. In theory, it was for the sake of Kingsley, the Marine Corps who betrayed by money, was not killed by Duvrongel.

So why did Dufrongel kill the female rebels in the end? Her guilt is not much higher than that of Kingsley and others. The male protagonist theoretically owes her a favor

I can only talk about the logic loopholes in the script and the prejudice against female characters as always. I think that women are either thin and powerless and waiting for the male lead to rescue them, or they are blackened for various cheap reasons.

This has created the inevitable decline of tough guy movies. Don’t forget that half of the movie market consumers are now women. If you write from the perspective of the 1990s, who will buy it?

Two stars for Shangge and Duff, sympathize with these two for picking up bad movies all day
