Nondescript hodgepodge

What a great theme, a variant of "Men in Black" alive and well. The setting of the underworld, the magical entrance of the police station, the western sheriff, the rookie rookie of the old and the young, from the plot to the actors, the entire version of "Men in Black", even when the ghost appears, the aliens fade away Similar to human skin. However, this film just doesn't have the style of "Men in Black", or it is empty and lacking in it. Where is the key? The various elements are out of balance, um~ it's still out of balance, it sounds better.
As a tribute to the predecessors of the alternative style, if blindly imitated, the effect will only be worse than an ordinary movie. Why? Because the crab is the best to eat for the first time, and the curious trick is the latest curious first time, it is easy to highlight the similarities later, if the imitation is not good, it will make people feel far-fetched and tasteless. And to combine so many novel elements together requires a strong grasp of rhythm. Therefore, I have always believed that the beauty of "Men in Black" is not only because of its style, but more importantly, the organic combination and balance of various elements that have created such a classic work. The film is clearly "out of balance". For example, the setting of the underworld police station and the soul lacks the necessary explanations, which feels a bit far-fetched; Tommy Lee Jones uses a few words to balance the alternative of the character setting and the plot, and Bridges’ words are unbearable. , Just talk, can you have something nutritious? Constantly complaining nonsensical, and finally turned into a bitter woman. The female supervisor was the same. The weirdness was overwhelming, and it turned out that she was still a mature woman with heavy taste. I will go... and why does Indian cuisine make T-Bag active? Such a weird and incomprehensible setting. All are elements that are too far away from reality, making people feel that the plot is unreasonable.
The core plot is not strong, and the villain has no surprises. I guessed it was the actor's partner at the beginning. The following "concerns" about the male protagonist loving his wife, big conspiracies, etc., are just as if they are fascinating, and there is no deep digging at all. People can guess the end from the beginning. The story of Yimapingchuan is really like a glass of white water. Nima, this is a rhythm that you can't shoot even if you want to make a sequel!
Ryan Reynolds is out of luck. Since "Buried Alive", there have been no films that can be called loudly. They are all problems with good themes and bad films. I don't know when this handsome guy can be transferred. "Master Du" hasn't had any good movies in the past two years. This film wasted two handsome, stylish and acting male pig's feet. It's a violent thing! Director, the majority of movie fans want to condemn you!
Of course, the comparison with "Men in Black" is a bit harsh. In fact, this is still a humorous alternative comedy. Bojun Yile is enough!

    The structure of the script is very problematic. Instead of using actions to advance the story, it uses meaningless dialogue to connect and guide the audience. Moreover, the logic and rules of the worldview that make up the world are not faithfully followed, and there are loopholes everywhere.

    The special effects are rough, the plot is terrible, the jokes of the beauties and Chinese old men are repeated and there are no other jokes, Ryan Reynolds is really box office poison

    Hayes: And it might seem a little weird, but I think you should try to just keep an open mind, and not judge right away, okay?
