I don't know why I watched this movie, because of Nicolas Cage? Still watching Liu Yifei speak English, or whether Chinese-foreign co-productions surpass domestic films in terms of form and content. Unfortunately, I was wrong, and very wrong. Watching this movie didn't give me any feeling in content and senses at all. Even Nicolas Cage's performance was exaggerated and not worth watching. The whole movie revealed a feeling that it was boring and boring. There isn't a story worth a lot of money to describe, the beginning and the end of the movie don't even have any corresponding correspondence, a theme of self-pity overwhelmed by human nature, not only does it make people not feel the so-called true from the heart. Pain, even from the actors' performances and the choice of camera simulations, glaringly reveals a layman's taste. The story is so simple that it is beyond simple, the plot is straightforward and hastily, we don't even have to think about how the story should develop, the movie's logical thinking is also extremely confusing, and the accumulation of the story is not about the theme at all, and The director's treatment of the actors is extremely face-to-face, without any suspense at all, and no new content is added. The extremely old story, the extremely old performance style, and the extremely old performance routine are out of tune with the current aesthetics, and even Putting the film in the 1970s and 1980s, the film is still unbearably backward. The reason why this movie can be called a movie is because it has invited many slightly famous stars. If you remove these stars, the movie is not a scumbag.

The content of the movie is very strange, so strange that it makes people speechless, and it is an extreme imitation of the earliest Chinese martial arts movies, but in fact Mao did not learn it. The control of the film can be said to be embarrassing. The audience's story is nothing but the pedantic development of clichés. The extremely negative thoughts of the movie make people feel extremely dull from beginning to end. Hayden Christensen, a handsome and sunny guy, was abused into a broken jar and a vagrant drug addict. He has no heroic spirit, let alone revealing With a smiling face and a bitter and bitter look, the story of the movie has been introduced into an endless abyss. The movie strives to create a heroic story from the content, but the process of this beauty meeting a hero and knowing a hero is worse than that of domestic soap operas. After watching this film, I feel that our mainland dramas are all classics in the classics. At least there are innumerable and well-choreographed plot stories in it, and in this movie, it is impossible to understand the IQ and emotional quotient of the story with normal people's thinking. What is going on? Look at the IQ and emotional intelligence of this movie with the eyes of a fool, and then you can understand what kind of tone the movie itself has. Most of the plot of the movie is a waste of time. Constantly changing scenes for unnecessary interpretation does not add anything useful to the plot at all. Most of the action scenes seem to copy the routines of Chinese martial arts movies when they were just emerging. Not only is there no martial arts plot to watch, but the fighting theory is particularly naive and ridiculous. It seems to be a movie for children, telling people that good people have good rewards, and bad people will eventually die. No matter how powerful and invincible the bad guys are, they will eventually turn their backs He was so confused that he died under the sword of the protagonist. As a director Nick Powell, who is an action director, the action scenes that occupy nearly two-thirds of the time of the movie seem to leave people not the wonderful and enjoyable martial arts, but the childishness on the top of the boring head. As far as movies are concerned, I just want to say, get out of the director circle, what should you do?

As an English-language film co-produced by China and foreign countries, the performances of Chinese actors are quite satisfactory. Although the film is not made in their native language, compared to the expression of emotion in the film, it is quite admirable, especially the performance of Liu Yifei and Su Jiahang. The performances are all excellent in explaining the definition of their roles in the film, and their mastery of the camera is also natural and real, but for foreign actors, their performances in the film are too perfunctory. Now, Hayden Christensen has a bitter expression of bitterness and hatred, which has not changed from the beginning to the end, and Nicolas Cage did not want to seriously interpret the role he played, from the beginning For the interpretation of human pity, to the savagery of the gangsters, such unprovoked interpretation of the characters, it can only be said that the director did not really trust the performance of the actors.

This movie is the king of bad co-productions between China and foreign countries. There is no one. Not only does it have no actual content, but it also lacks scenes and confrontations. The movie is even full of unbelievable places, just like Liu Yifei can still be stabbed with a knife. It's unreasonable to be resurrected with blood, and the screenwriter is drunk when you think about it. For us, the only thing to watch in the movie is to watch Liu Yifei speak English, and watch a Chinese speak a foreign language in a movie, which is relatively pleasing to the eye.

    A wonderful co-production, the same level as Iron Fist, and the same routine as the King of Kung Fu. The opening scene seems to have been cut from another Cage scene.

    Besides An Zhijie selling meat, what else is there to watch?
