The style is obvious, but there are many shortcomings

The plot is actually very simple, revenge, kill one by one, and finally beat the boss.
Fortunately, Quentin's style is unique, the soundtrack is casual, and the blood volume is large (in fact, it is not bloody). It still doesn't look interesting.
But the action part was not well shot. I wanted to learn oriental martial arts fighting, but I don't know if it was because of the martial arts instructor, the fighting design was very general, and the shooting was also very general. Of course, it is also an important reason that the actors are not very good. At first glance, they have no foundation. I just saw that Wu Zhi was Yuan Heping, I really don't understand why this situation happened, maybe it was because I didn't communicate with the crew thoroughly. Also in cooperation with Western directors, the martial arts design in The Matrix is ​​absolutely high-level.
In addition, the protagonist's halo is too heavy, and the counter-killing is a bit inexplicable. The heroine did not show a particularly high skill over others at the beginning, but she bleeds all the way to the small boss, and then inexplicably counter-kills, it can only be said that she can be beaten, Thick blood.
There is also a disadvantage. The camera is given to many people who don't need it, such as the nonsense of a few minions in the tavern, and the result is that he will die with one move, which is really a waste of the footage given to him. The beautiful manga about Liu Yuling is really not necessary to be that long. They are all members. Why didn't the black woman in the front get this treatment.

ps: The battle with Lucy Liu is a tribute to Bruce Lee.

    Finally, after recollecting it, I regret that only the first play with Heimei was the most enjoyable, and I felt cheated. After thinking about it, the judging standard for action movies is "the play is not wonderful". Low-level, Quentin slapped you when you confidently guessed the plot direction. This kind of M-like experience is really rare. It's also my favorite place.

    Shuang Shuang Shuang! Quentin’s action movie can be summed up in these three words. If you want to say more, I want to say that this movie is an excellent audio-visual experience. Quentin’s non-linear editing, the small highlights and big highlights suddenly burst out. Can't stop, the soundtrack tastes great. Compared with Vol.2 with too much information and slightly out of rhythm, this one must be better.

  • Hattori Hanzo: [in Japanese; voice-over] For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat.
