At the beginning of the film, there will be an adrenaline rush of artillery airborne, and when you calm down, you will kill some landmines and chatter.

It was a good idea to bomb the signal base station, but in the first half of the second act, the Nazi jumping corpse and the bunker biochemical experiment were sacrificed.

What kind of cult elements such as serial bombing, machine gun sniping, flame spraying, runaway zombies, etc. are endless, continuous, and it is very cool to see the fat brother.

"Overlord" (Overlord) is definitely a hardcore plasma cool film that cult fans can't miss in the recent past .

The content is in line with the classic popular shooting game "Return to Wolfenstein" , and the genre is Quentin's "Inglourious Basterds" and Rodriguez's "Kill the Dawn" .

I saw it was a World War II movie, and after watching one, I found it a little scary, and then I watched it again, it turned out to be a zombie movie! This is exactly the same as the leap from a highway crime film to a zombie thriller in "Fighting the Dawn". The superposition of types derives extraordinary charm, showing the power of crushing boredom and a single king. The story tells that before the Normandy landing in World War II, American paratroopers went deep into the French town, ready to blow up the signal base station, in preparation for the landing. After several soldiers risked their lives to enter the town, they found that there was a mystery hidden in the base station bunker. The biochemical experiments conducted by the German army were laying a solid foundation for Hitler to build the "Millennium Army".

The soldiers accidentally entered it, and after seeing the hell on earth, they decided to smash the terrorist experiment of the Nazis, bury the darkness in the bunker, so that it will never see the light... If you don't read the introduction of the story and do not do the preheating, I'm sure most viewers will be intimidated by Bannerlord's genre crossing. The first act "Going deep behind enemy lines" is a typical type of World War II film. The middle section of "mine attacked" begins to highlight some cult qualities. The second scene where the soldier accidentally enters the biochemical laboratory is the most essential part of the whole film. From the corpses on the trucks, to the unidentified creatures held in the bunker prison to create a terrifying atmosphere, the looming zombie warriors in the supply bags completely detonated the type bombs.

When the frightened soldier escaped from the bunker in a drowsy state, the audience was already exhausted, waiting for the "zombies to come out" behind, a melee.

It's a bit of a pity that the unexpected "Overlord" is the kind of film that goes high and low . The first and second acts are extremely exciting. Many reversals are designed naturally and ingeniously. Some of the interior dialogue paragraphs create tension in the story. The way is really a bit "Inglourious Basterds", but the decisive part of the third act is a little perfunctory, strengthening the single-handed battle between the Nazi soldiers and the American soldiers, which looks very lively, but it is really old-fashioned and procrastinating, and it is quite the situation of the last resort. , unfortunately.

What dissatisfied the fat brother the most was the degree of conservative plasma in the film . Every time the genre elements burst into flames, it seemed that he would suddenly be pulled back from the edge of madness by an invisible hand.

It feels like a castrated "torture room movie" , where the splattered blood plasma has been reduced in dose, faded in color, and even disappeared. If it was Quentin or Rodriguez to execute, it would never be so discouraged, think about the assassination of the Fuhrer in the climax of "Inglourious Basterds", and the bloody pools of "Fighting Before Dawn".

"Overlord" is a B-level "cool film" in its genes. If it is forced to cool down before the climax, either the director's ability is insufficient, or the funds are stretched. Although it's not crazy and bloody enough to play, "Barrier", which has cost 38 million US dollars, is still a cult dark horse with a B-level investment and A-level look and feel!

    Small freshness in B-level films, heavy taste in war films.

    No wonder people say that Paramount should be acquired, which is Netflix level. ❶ The price of the old black to avoid a blood is the whole white lotus? ❷ I can understand being incoherent and incoherent. So terrifying news, don't continue to report it? ❸ Going deep into such a dangerous base, the vigilance is too low to destroy the tense atmosphere
