Bullet Time is too short

The game of 2001, gamespot's best action game of the year, still has a deep memory. The dark and obscure and oppressive style, the complex tortuous layers of the case, and the refreshment brought by the unique Bullet Time, all of which eclipse those fixed-minded games. My patience is too poor, and I don’t have many large-scale games to play with explosive devices, but I spent dozens of hours playing this game without a Chinese version. Now think about it, the whole process of the game is simply a wonderful movie, so you can't help but fall into it.
Movies adapted from games cannot escape the fate of being scolded by loyal players. Although the main plot has not been greatly changed, it has shrunk a lot compared to the game plot. In addition, the game uses movie montage techniques in many places, and flashbacks to explain the plot. The film is flat and straightforward, and it is too straightforward. After watching it, you will know two or three without any suspense. The style of the movie is also darker, but the game is a game after all, and the depression brought by the investment, I don't feel anything when watching the movie. In fact, the most criticized by players is that the biggest feature of the game, Bullet Time, was only shown once in the movie, and it was only one-to-one. I used two Colt submachine guns to sweep the classic scene in Bullet Time, but unfortunately I didn't see it in the movie. Even without the preconceivedness of the game, this film can only be regarded as a very ordinary action film.
If the whole process of Daren’s game + CG is recorded, I believe it will be much more exciting than this movie.

    The plot is not brainless and lengthy. It’s not too much to blame. After all, it’s an adaptation of the game, and the action scenes are also weak to death. Although the final explosion scene has risen a bit, in general, it is unqualified as an action genre. The girl in red dress and black jacket and boots who was dismembered by PS is pretty coquettish and sexy.

    This kind of movie can't be expected to have any plot, but it feels relatively close to the original game, and the ending is very cool.
