A Brief Comment on "Escape Plan of the Golden Cicada"

Stallone teamed up with Schwarzenegger. This used to be a picturesque scene in the eyes of many action movie fans. Unfortunately, the hot-blooded duo scene in "Contra" has not become a reality until now. However, even if Stallone is no longer the "Rambo", and Schwarzenegger is no longer the "T-800", whether the muscles are loose or old, after all, "Escape the Shell" has realized my long-cherished wish for many years. That alone is worth the price.

Therefore, there is no need to be overly concerned when we see this or that flaw in the movie. The first point we need to look down on is the reduction in the "action component". The two elders are both at the age of seven, and it is impossible to "sell meat" like they did in their prime. It can be expected that the limited fights are basically their limit, and they can't be asked to do more. The second point is the existence of "plot loopholes". Although there are not many fighting scenes, in the final analysis, male hormones are still the main selling point of the film. It is not fair to use the standards of complex brain-burning films as a reference.

If we can accept the above two premise, "Escape Plan Golden Cicada" will not disappoint us much. Of course, if the film can be more refined in terms of details, such as the design of the prison break, the character shaping of the characters, and the handling of the climax, then it will be a classic with nostalgic colors.

Speaking of which, I have to miss the golden age of the action movie. The influence of those action stars at that time was beyond the reach of today's action actors anyway. This is why when Stallone or Schwarzenegger and others "old man The reason why some people will buy it when talking about teenage madness. It's just that when we watch Stallone's "The Expendables" series, Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand", or this "Escape Plan" blindly repeating nostalgia, we can't help but sigh that the decline of old-fashioned action films is in line with the development of the times. Trends, it is difficult to satisfy the increasingly demanding movie fans by simply relying on actors to "sell meat". As witnesses of that era, the only hope of our generation of movie fans is that those veteran action stars can exert more residual heat and leave more marks that belong to them.

    It's fast paced and entertaining at the same time. As long as you don't look back at the flawed plot after the fact.

    Although it is a thriller with high IQ, but seeing the two big guys, you know that the film will inevitably have simple and rude elements. Although there are many bugs in the story, and the reason for the establishment of the prison is completely untenable, the two-hour movie can still make the audience watch it patiently. The deja vu plot, the deja vu characters and the deja vu ending reversal bring us nostalgia for the golden age of action movies.
