For Jason Statham, when the Hollywood action star's movies don't have a hearty blood chase, "Hummingbird" emerges in front of us with a new perspective of a struggle played by Statham At the bottom of the society and trapped in the image of the special forces of the inner demons, the film wears the vest of an action movie, and it is actually a work with a strong modernist literary color.



Watching "Hummingbird" brought me an accident to a large extent, because in the face of Jason's films, the actor who has always appeared in front of the audience as an action star, although he is still playing the same type again and again The work, but the difference is that "Hummingbird Special Attack" did not give the tough guy too many fighting scenes to support the movie's highlights, but gave Jason more space for performance, which is different from traditional actions. The works of the movie have the same charm as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". From the beginning to the end, the movie has been focusing on portraying the soul of Sergeant Joseph Smith, played by Jason, who has suffered from life and pressure. Through this special soldier who was accused by the military court, escaped from the hospital with attack stress disorder and wandered among the homeless, he accidentally lived in the empty house of the rich in the movie, which opened the short-term relationship between him and the nun. Love, the affection he faced with his past family, the torment he experienced in the battlefield of Afghanistan, Jason in "Hummingbirds" compared to other heroic figures who were invincible in many action movies, in this movie, he was burdened with Too many fates, what we see is not a screen hero, but a more vivid and three-dimensional character image, which shows the appearance of all beings at the bottom of the society, which is so profound and thought-provoking.



Under the shell of the movie action movie is a real presentation of society. As a hero, Jason has never felt so powerless in the movie, but this is the truth. A scene in "Hummingbird" gave me a touch. Touching the shock of the soul, Jason in the movie later wandered into the Chinese gang, a car of stowaways in a cardboard box put his hand out of the hole of the cardboard box and clenched his fist to confirm whether he was alive, when Jason helped a young stowaways. At the moment when the hands are clenched, the atmosphere of the film's dark atmosphere is suffocating. The character of Jason in the film is deformed, the story of sneaking into the rich house, and the short and hazy love between the nun and the nun. But in the end, it's just an absurdity made by film art. In the end, the homeless are still wandering in the streets, the gangsters are still selling drugs and smuggling, and the nun is not with Jason in the end. After all, a person's power cannot be as strong as In superhero movies, the changes to save the world, the repression and distortion of life on people, and the fateful redemption at the end are equally desperate. The literary trend of modernist literature is deeply reflected in this film.



This is not a masterpiece of action that can make people bloody, on the contrary, it will be more of a depression and melancholy. When Jason is not a tough guy, his drips reveal a kind of in other The works are rare and sincere. Although the movie has fatal despair, Jason is not cold.

    One of Statham's hard-to-find movies...

    Jason and the slow-paced film of literary and artistic heart disease violated. The story itself is mediocre and broken. The whole film's hooligan scene is barely worth the price of the ticket, and the director's skills show timidity. The supermodel heroine is like a lunatic. Under the split appearance of gorgeous high-end and withered, there is a rebellious heart, but this heart cannot bear the heavy task of redeeming two lost souls. The film has been stuck in the initial stage of Chinese international impression, and the low-end blackness revealed in it makes me very despised.
