If you can shoot from the front, please don't turn around with the back of your hand.

1. Exaggerated dramatic tension, too long a pause in the shootout directly leads to weak tension. And these pauses are for very unreasonable reasons. In the end, the gun battle scene was very loose and not compact enough, and the last little bit of excitement was also consumed.
2. Incoherent behavior. Because of editing problems, many characters' actions are incoherent and the editing is too rough.
3. Lack of characterization. Many characters are too mentally handicapped to betray, and even the portrayal of the male protagonist Meng Ban is so little that there are only memories. Depp's shaping is relatively more, but it is still very helpless to the film as a whole.
4. The more complicated the story, the more idiotic it is. Action movies mainly look at the action, and the story is simple but will have a good effect, such as the second part. It's good to want a complex story, but the multi-line (or double-line?) development is a failure, not only the gods are scattered, but also the story structure is directly scattered, and I don't know what is being played. The setting of the story is also too boring and unreasonable, and literature and art still need logic. A wants to end B, B hires C to end A, Meng Ban wants to kill C, but after B kills A. Depp wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, but the three lines released were completely abolished, and one of the girls in turn harmed him. Ask me to say that this story is not only boring but also irrational, very irrational. With such a box of weapons, the male protagonist still wants to grab other people's guns in a fight. He doesn't know the meaning of the guitar box. Depp ran blindly to the door and killed two minions before he fell. I don't know how to face it.
5. Classic pointless stacking. Refers to the classic scene in No Tears. The scene of not turning back to the explosion is really badly made and used very rigidly.
6. Rough production. The performance of the extras made me cry a few times. Especially the scene where Depp's prosthesis was discovered was a disaster. The expressionless crowd and the screaming soy sauce character made me wonder if the director was drunk while filming this scene.

    The final chapter of Robert Rodriguez's "Killing" trilogy. This film invited more Hollywood big names, including Johnny Depp, William Dafoe, Mickey Locke, Eva Mendes and so on. There are many characters in this episode, and the relationship is quite complicated. It can be regarded as the most tortuous part of the trilogy. It even feels that Banderas is not the absolute protagonist. Johnny Depp has no less drama than him.
