In some movies, being responsible for being funny is enough

I don’t know if you will feel this way. It is easy for a movie to be called a bad movie, but it is difficult to be a good movie that everyone praises.

Spend huge sums of money to create powerful special effects, some people will say that it is "too exaggerated, not as good as the special effects of fifty cents" ;

Tell the complete story seriously, and some people will say that it is "protracted and unwatchable" ;

Think hard to design every joke, and some people will say it "has no meaning, lacks depth" ...

In fact, this is the same as "a person who has always done good things suddenly does a bad thing and will be cast aside by thousands of people" .

Not to mention "difficulty in adjusting", from an objective point of view, nothing in this world is perfect, and there will always be defects, big or small, hidden or obvious.

Therefore, whether a movie can be accepted or not depends on whether the people who watch it can tolerate these flaws.

If you can't stand it, it will be like the evaluation of a certain movie by the Boston Globe :

Even by the "popcorn" standards of a summer action movie, the movie is too long, too violent and too exaggerated.

But the audience's reaction was this:

Did you find it?

As long as the audience laughs, nothing else matters.

The movie recommended for everyone today is this flawed but funny enough Hollywood blockbuster——

"Ace Bodyguard" .

Director: Patrick Hughes

Screenwriter: Tom O'Connor

Production Region: United States

Genre: Comedy, Action, Crime

Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, Elodie Yuan, Joaquin de Almeida

Length: 118 minutes

The plot of the film is very simple. It mainly tells the story of a personal bodyguard accidentally "ordered" to escort a professional killer to the international court to testify, and the two jointly resist the mercenary interception and the police pursuit.

Michael , a 3A-level bodyguard, has the self-confidence of "never miss a mission".

However, there was such a mission that he completely missed.

He also fell out with his girlfriend because of this. He failed because he stubbornly believed that his girlfriend had leaked the secret.

Having suffered a double blow, he has since fallen to the bottom of his life.

Two years later, he was depressed and depressed.

At this time, the "inappropriate" background music was also played:

No one has a good time with you at all, and even your lover will break up with you.

Who knows, in the next second, his ex-girlfriend suddenly found him again.

And it also provided him with a chance to "shame the past and change his destiny" :

As long as the witness is safely escorted to the destination, you can be "officially reinstated".

At first glance, this is not difficult for him as a professional!

After all, he has only completed the great and arduous escort task of "passing five levels and killing six generals".

But the problem is that the escort target this time turned out to be the long-term nemesis, the killer Darius !

A brief summary of the grievance between the two is:

Whoever Michael wants to protect, Darius will kill.

An "enemy" who can't find a chance to kill at ordinary times has to try his best to protect it?

This baby has a little mood...

However, since it has come, it is safe to do so. Since it is arranged like this, it can only be accepted "reluctantly".

However, their "escape" along the way can be said to be in a variety of situations and near misses .

The key is to not forget to make people laugh while thrilling.

While Michael was still looking for a better way to avoid injury by jumping off the building, Darius just jumped down without saying a word, as long as he didn't fall to his death;

When Michael was scratching his head because he couldn't remember the password of the safe house, Darius had already climbed in through the window and opened the door for him from the inside;

While Michael was still frowning about whether he could reach his destination, Darius and a group of nuns sang happily...

One is cautious and careful, the other is high-profile and self-willed;

One loves to abide by the rules and pays attention to plans in everything, and the other is eclectic and does not play cards according to the routine;

It can be said that the spark and joy created by two people with completely different styles of acting together can be said to be very exciting.

As a standard action movie, "Ace Bodyguard" is of course indispensable for adrenaline-pumping action scenes.

Whether it's a cool "watership";

A tense and exciting land chase;

Or real close combat;

In the performance of action scenes and drag racing scenes, the director's scene scheduling can be said to be smooth, not only the beautiful scenery of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands can be seen, but also the whole process is wonderfully shot, which is very enjoyable to watch.

The whole film has a tight rhythm, a coherent plot, and full of characters , not to mention a smooth viewing experience for the audience .

The romantic atmosphere derived from the film is another highlight.

On the night when the Kincaid couple fell in love, he was impressed by her vigorous posture and vigor. With BGM and slow motion, the retro romance was suffocating.

"When he scratched the broken wine bottle on that idiot's carotid artery, I felt it, this is my true destiny."

It is worth mentioning that Gary Oldman , the villain in the film, also contributed superb acting skills. Although there are not many scenes, he played the super villain in a chilling and gnashing manner .

There are also two female characters in the film, who have not been reduced to "vases", but have shown an impressive side.

In today's stressful life, there are always ways to relieve stress and relax our minds for us to release stress.

For example, watch a light-hearted and funny movie.

As this netizen said:

It doesn't matter whether it has logical loopholes or not, whether it has connotations or not.

Just make me laugh!

I like to watch.

Occasionally simple and rude, it is a kind of beauty.

    [The most exciting series of the trailer] These two people are so cheap, since the trailer that imitated the bodyguard came out, I knew that there must be a scene of blocking the gun in the end hahahaha [I still have some difficulties in hearing English of some actors... For the first time, I felt so inconvenient without subtitles...
