For the plot of the film itself, it should be a thrilling and extremely tense spy war series. Although it is an economic and financial conspiracy and spy war, it is nothing more than a series of action shooting, racing, assassination and sneaking. The film is fully It has achieved a series of elements that a spy film has, but the only shortcoming is that the director cannot control the tension that the film should have. The film tends to be simple, plain and pretending to be mysterious, leaving the entire protagonist in an embarrassing situation where he has no idea and what to do! In particular, the meeting, knowing and falling in love with the male and female protagonists, as well as their suspicions about the future and their performance in tasks, make the originally very serious spy film dragged into a marriage and love film. The film does not rule out the dominance of the love element, but too much changing the film style will inevitably lead the film into a nondescript situation, turning expectations into complaints, making the wonderful dull, turning suspense and thrilling into tasteless and ignorant, The whole movie looks like it has no bright spots and sinks into a bad movie! It is not ruled out that the director hopes to make new attempts in the genre of spy war and special action films, and he also constantly modifies the thrilling and exciting plots to be milder to suit the taste and likes of female audiences. Zhang's films have become too simple and feminine, and the genre that should be suitable for male audiences has lost its original expectation of passion! Throughout the film, the rhythm is very slow. Although the rhythm of the film is still controlled by the director, it loses the fast rhythm of the original special agent film. For the extremely powerful villain, the task can be completed so easily and smoothly. I have to say that the director Still haven't fully grasped the essentials and essence of how to make a good special agent film. For Kenneth Branagh, a director who is good at directing Shakespeare plays, secret agent films are really not for him! The biggest highlight of this film is that the director who also acts as the director plays the role of the villain in this film. The innate aura really makes people feel bright, the melancholy look, the sharp eyes, the The calm and calm approach to things really overshadows the protagonist Chris Pine of Pretty Boys!
The most regrettable thing about the film is the British beauty Keira Knightley, who once made a splash in "Pirates of the Caribbean". The performance in the film is completely reduced to a dispensable vase, which really makes people feel full of her kind. Hopeful and energetic performance style disappointed. For Kevin Costner, who has starred in many movies this year, the performance of each film is so sparse and ordinary, and there is not a single place that is impressive, and the performances that have been tepid have become more and more The more lost its original charm!
It feels like a very ordinary movie, far from being as good as I imagined. I thought I could see another "Jason Bourne", but unfortunately it was very disappointing! Chris Pine's performance is very bad, there is absolutely no composure that an agent should have, too many worries and emotional ties make his interpretation of Jack Ryan a failure case!
