The Chinese name of "Hurricane Rescue" makes people think it is a disaster film, but its English name "Taken" is very vivid, which directly shows the brand essence of the kidnapping action film. The first episode is based on the heart-wrenching suspense of a beloved daughter being kidnapped by someone with nothing to do ), without any hesitation, looking very enjoyable. However, the clues of the villain's revenge in the second episode greatly reduced the tension of the plot, the most fundamental suspense disappeared, and there was not much newness in the action, but let the daughter go into battle with a creative throwing grenade positioning, and then the car went out for a while. limelight. Although the love for my daughter is still very good at the beginning, this time it is the ex-wife who has no sense of existence to be saved, and the ex-wife is the final boss in the X-Men who will attack in full screen, but in this film, it is weak, let me Feeling..frustrated.

Like so many action movie sequels, the whole selling point of the second episode is the exotic flair of fighting and killing in a different place. This time, I was in Istanbul, where I have a certain feeling, and I also tried to show a little bit of local customs, such as the mosque by the Golden Horn, the Muslim prayer broadcasts several times a day, a cup of Turkish black tea for 1 lire, and the roof terrace with Turkish characteristics. The spice market, and the final battle is the Turkish wrestling competition in the hammam. pretty good.

Oh, I have to say, the bad guys who are weak. The Albanian gangster in this film basically created the lower limit of the IQ of the gangster in the film. He swept the wall with an AK, and then looked into the gunshot. Isn't this a shot in the eye? There is also the common taboo of all villains in the movie, which is to waste time playing foreplay and so on to the hostage. In addition, the recent action movies have the problem that the villain boss is too weak, such as the Japanese who was killed in "Ip Man", and the boss who was shot in the head in the first episode of this series, but, I dare to say "Hurricane" The Boss of Rescue 2 is still weaker than you and I can imagine. This charismatic old man (after scrutinizing for a long time, finally recognized that it was the boss who rented costumes and masks to Tom Cruise in "Eyes Wide Shut"), in the final scene, he actually showed a full range of IQ, EQ, momentum and skills lower limit. What a shame!
