This movie is just fine, if you haven't seen Closer before Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. But if you're like me, you just watched this one purely because of the previous one, I guess it's already a lot of face for you to give Zhongping.

In terms of conception, two giants who compete to the point where they can combine their fists and feet can be very comical, and the battle between you and me can also add a lot of highlights. It's also a bit interesting (although I thought the slow motion was a little bit more and the cuts were a bit messy), in the whole episode, there is only one old god who is calculating the other one, and the other one is only nervous but can't catch it at all. Keeping the point, people really doubt how the author puts these two in the same heavyweight.

In terms of lines, I have a little doubt that Gilroy has read Closer too many times and wrote it in a cos style. However, when the plot is different, it can only be described as appalling when it comes to cosplay. To borrow a sentence from a certain hero who commented on Wuji before, each sentence is very cool, but together, I don't know what it wants to express.

Others, the sets are mostly simple and modern, especially the office of the boss Roberts, which is quite oriental Zen. The conference room was actually pretty good, but it was a little lacking in detail for shooting. The ladies' styling in there, halo! I don’t know if this hairstyle is popular in the United States this year. In short, the hairstyle of Julia Roberts in the first few paragraphs of the film, especially the hairstyle at work, seems to me to be no hair style at all. frightened.

Finally, the two main characters. There's nothing wrong with acting. In terms of styling, Clive Owen is basically still in the reliable category. In the past two years, Roberts was too old, and his face in the sun was so pale and decadent that makeup could not hide it. No wonder all the scenes after 2/5 were indoor lighting. I'm not saying actresses can't get old, of course, but the heroine of a romantic comedy (don't tell me it's a thriller spy blah, blah, blah, because I can smell none) is usually better if she's young and pretty, or at least looks healthy. point. Roberts' stylist, is it so hard to give her two brushes of blush?

In a nutshell, the poor script and director made what was supposed to be a guaranteed film with two big names (and had a great performance in another film) a subpar mediocre film , is really disappointing.

    "Mistrust" - the occupational disease of agents, the play is too fancy and cumbersome to describe. The return of the big-mouthed beauty to the screen is a small disappointment.

    It's better than I thought, and the plot is so-so, but I really don't think the two protagonists are calling. It is mainly the supporting roles that are brilliant, and the scene where two people are holding a big fight at the beginning of the film is the most fun~
