As a result of the hype, the film did not meet the high expectations of many, resulting in a flood of bad reviews. The bad reviews mainly focused on the vulgar script and director, the unrestrained performance of the two protagonists and the extreme lack of calls, and the whole film's Hollywood popcorn has no nutrition. Watching "Deadly Companion" when there are a lot of bad reviews will naturally have different expectations, and low expectations often bring positive impressions.
Spoilers below.
I agree that this film is not nutritious, and the plot is also an assembly line level. I even guessed the ending at the beginning: the baptism of various Hollywood movies tells us that a character whose name is repeatedly mentioned but never appears must be the real body of a character who has appeared. Now that the ending is known in advance, my observation point when watching "Deadly Companion" has changed a little.
Angelina Jolie's true performance as always, her powerful aura is undiminished, giving the film a good start to the atmosphere. Although the plot was weak afterwards, Julie has always been able to hold up the aura of the whole film. Johnny Depp, on the other hand, cannot radiate aura like "Pirates of the Caribbean" due to the constraints of the role. The role and the plot require him to play a small character, specifically pretending to be a small big man. It's not interesting to observe Johnny Depp when he knows his true identity. He wants to open the door in a hotel and stops, and he has to pretend to be panic in the face of the police. There can be new explanations for the plot. Movies add some flavor. As for the scenery of Venice, after I have been there, I feel that it is the same. The scenery in the movie is the envy of those who have never been there.
In fact, my biggest doubt is how to find out the directing style of "Eavesdropping Storm" in "Deadly Companion"? Could it be that this director is also good at Hollywood, or does he think Hollywood deserves this style? Thinking about it carefully, I found that the biggest thing in common between "Deadly Companion" and "Eavesdropping Storm" is that both are suspense films with almost no action scenes. I think the director's original intention is to rely on the plot and performance to attract the audience. There are no flying car explosions to cheer on the plots of "Deadly Companion", and it can be smoothly watched by the audience. In addition to Julie's aura, it is obvious that the director should also be credited.
