There is a problem with the control of the plot

1. Although I played the uncommon flash-forward + multi-line narrative combination in revenge movies, it seemed fresh and refined at first glance, but if I continued to read it, I found that I was playing a very old and hairy set, typically like "The son is killed by you." 2. Some of the plots and shots are deliberately misleading the audience (give Dave more shots than others and then let him die with one shot; sleep Dana, no, Dana is basically a dispensable person; The one with the codename Elvis will fight to the death, and learn from John Wick next door in your next life!) 3. In the whole movie, the most "reasonable" behavior and the clearest logic is the villain. In the process of robbing a bank (or a building?) in GTA5, the timing of the interlude was just right, establishing the structure and character motivation of the entire action, and finally starting to be "cool" instead of "fake". However, the issue of no distinction between primary and secondary is too conspicuous: the protagonist is not even highlighted by the two staff who sacrificed heroically in this scene...

    I would have thought in advance that this was a typical "big male protagonist" film that fought to the end and pursued revenge every step of the way; but instead, it was a film that first made the audience "shrunk", and then really dismantled it, inspiring the emotional "anger" in the title. A few subtitles are valuable, and it might seem to ease a little pressure from the timeline -- although it's better to focus on more character backgrounds or clarify supporting roles. [I love to hear that with "Mind Hunter" to achieve career redemption, our Mr. Holt McCallany's film road is "back on track"; with Raúl Castillo and Jeffrey Donovan, what a "TV male reemployment club" (:]

    Good-looking, generally good-looking. . . Not as fancy as Guy Ritchie, but still worth a ticket to the theater. . . Statham has persisted from the B-movie star to the present, and has not fallen. He has also become one of the old friends of the Chinese people. It is definitely not just hard to explain. . . At least this French remake is very different for him - you will find that you are not the only protagonist of the whole film, not the only driving force of the plot, not the only invincible hero of the climax. . . This is a revenge action movie with some chapters and POV narrative perspective. Statham is actually half-absent at the climax. The play has its own plot layout, not a cool film with traditional rhythms. . . Well, it’s Guy Ritchie after all. In theory, you don’t have a few chances to see his films on the big screen in China, because generally speaking, because of excessive crit and swearing or other taboos, they can’t be seen in China. . . However, there are not many traces of deletion in this film so far. Although it is not a successful work by Guy Ritchie, it is rare to be released in China. Don't pick it, go watch it. . .
