Lian Po is old! (Film Critic, Black Water)

I watched Bruce Wills's new movie last week, and it feels good. This week, I'll take a look at the new "Prison Break" movie performed by two other heavyweight veteran action stars. I don't know the flavor.

American movie "Black Water" (Prison Break)

Work Type: Action

Main actors: Jean-Claude Van Damme (playing Wheeler), Dolph Lundgren (playing Marco), Jasmine Waltz (playing Taylor)

Story summary: tells how the CIA agent Wheeler was framed and put in jail, and how he escaped.

Release time: Released in China on June 8, 2018

It is also a veteran star, but the quality of this work is much worse. Compared with the recommended "Death wish" last week, it is very different.

Don't go into details, enter the comments.

I, the star effect, the scenery is no longer!

One of the highlights of this work is the collaboration of the two big violent action stars, Shange Yundun and Duff Longer . It’s a pity that the two people joined forces without any sparks. They went their own way . The most funny thing is that Rongel’s playing time is so few that he really doesn’t understand how the director considers the role of the actors. ? Pure waste of audience feelings!

II, the plot twists and turns, the highlight is no longer!

What is the plot of this work? There are twists and turns, a bit of "Mission Impossible" taste , but when you look closely, it's just "parrot learning" .

Wheeler was framed by his own people (Sergeant Edward, partner Melissa Ballard), put in an underwater prison, and kept in a submarine. The opening setting is good, at least in the same way as Escape from the Golden Cicada.

However, as the plot progressed, when Edward killed Ferris (agent) and revealed his identity, the story became more and more ugly, with more and more routines (good guys opened up, villains were killed inexplicably)... until the end At that moment, Melissa appeared (it was another turning point), and the plot came to an end...

There are too many works with similar settings, and it is not an exaggeration to say: 5 cents to see a dozen. If there are no special features (dry goods) in this kind of film, it is difficult to get the recognition of the audience. Just like this one, it falls into the stereotype and will eventually be forgotten.

III, the visual and sound effects are all embarrassing!

Where is the highlight of action movies? Picture + soundtrack

How is this picture? To be more specific, how about those fighting scenes?

It's cheap. Shange Yundun can only put up a posture, Longger can only make a gun , there are almost no real scenes to watch, and the configuration can't be lower.

As for the soundtrack, it is even more speechless.

First of all, it is not good for creating a tense atmosphere.

Secondly, the connection between music and picture is not enough.

Finally, the music is too mechanized, without the ups and downs.

I don't want to make too many comments on bad movies, eventually.

Director ★☆☆☆☆ (The mastery of the script and the control of the actors are full of the clumsiness of novices)

Actor ★★☆☆☆ (two stars for uncle)

Plot ★★★☆☆ (The plot conception is okay, the plot presentation is okay, the plot routine is too boring, and the character creation is too Facebook)

Visual effects ★☆☆☆☆ (low configuration)

Sound effects ★☆☆☆☆ (lack of play, no sense of existence)

Not recommended

    This rating is absolutely right for this movie, and movies that make money can no longer fool the current audience.

    Every year, some low-cost movies that cannot even enter the theater chain from overseas enter the mainland theater chain. Maybe this film is lucky to win this honor because of the action actors who are still popular in the mainland, such as Jean-Pierre Lundgren and Lundgren. , and the film's 50 million box office in the mainland is enough for the producer to pay back. This is the first time Jean-Luc and Lundgren have played front roles in a movie, but Lundgren is a big soy sauce bottle. Like Lao Shang's last movie, Killing It All is a confined space action movie. Although the plot and action scenes are average, it is still much better than that Escape Plan 2. By the way, look at the number one review and you'll see why I hate some critics.
