Chapter 888

Is "Life and Death" really qualified to challenge the classic masterpieces in film history? After the movie is fully released, the market will give an answer.

So, is "speed of life and death" really qualified to confront "true lies"? This answer is about to be revealed in five weeks, but at this time it is still a while before "True Lies" is released. Compared with this showdown, people are obviously more keen to discuss the "Wolf" and "Life and Death" that will be staged next week. "Speed" duel, now it seems that the "Wolf" crew has felt endless pressure.

It can be seen from this that this film review of the "Los Angeles Times" is not only full of praise for "Speed ​​of Life and Death", but also pushes "Speed ​​of Life and Death" to the cusp, making this film popular in the film market because of its low investment. The overlooked action movie instantly attracted countless attention. The entire public opinion momentum has reached a new high, making the summer heat really come to the North American film market.

In fact, "Life and Death" does have this capital, because in addition to the "San Francisco Chronicle" and "Los Angeles Times", the first batch of film reviews also gave praise to the film, along with the premiere of the film. Together, they pushed "Life and Death" to the throne of the most anticipated and watched movie since the summer of 1994!

The name of The New York Times also appeared in the list of the first media to comment, first "Schindler's List", then "Pulp Fiction" and now "Life and Death", as you can see," The New York Times seems to be paying more and more attention to Hugo's work, and as for the mystery, only insiders can know a thing or two.

"As an action movie, the story frame and narrative skills of 'Life and Death' coupled with the tense action scenes are enough to make many works of the same type known as 'classic' to shame. Bright real classic!

The movie lasted for nearly two hours in total. The audience felt as if they had taken a high-rise elevator, a normal bus, or were hijacked on the subway. They felt nervous and exciting throughout the whole process, in one go, without any slack. The most important thing It's like being there, making the whole story believable.

Although it is said that the murderer was exposed at the beginning and lost some sense of suspense, the subsequent plots are intertwined. After a crisis, another difficulty arises. Step by step, the difficulty is eliminated and then it is difficult to move towards the final goal. , the layers of story frames and crises make the whole story look simple but complex, with twists and turns and colorful. The whole movie takes the word 'speed' to the extreme. From elevators to buses to subways, all keywords are combined with speed, pushing the movie to a climax. The whole viewing process was full of adrenaline.

In addition to the exciting plot development and thrilling action scenes, the actor factor is even more the highlight. Hugo Lancaster, who has a round inch, and Sandra Bullock, who is a little charming among the ladies, is a match made in heaven, which is pleasing to the eye.

Lancaster is handsome and masculine in the movie. Whether it is drilling to defuse a bomb or jumping from a sports car to a bus, he can be said to do his best, not only retaining the characteristics of ordinary people, but also making people. The potential of Brock has been exerted to the extreme, which makes people applaud. Although the young and bright Brock does not have much room to play, it is amazing enough to interpret the emotional spark between Annie and Jack in a real and believable way.

This movie must be highly recommended, and I hope that the audience will quickly enter the cinema to enjoy this work, not only male audiences, but also female audiences will like this movie, even if they don’t like the excitement of adrenaline bursts, they will definitely hope that Lancai Sturt desperately saves the heroine's domineering.

This is an action classic not to be missed! "

"The New York Times" praised the film almost throughout, and the final score of 89 can also show their attitude. I have to say that this is a very rare situation. It's not that the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times both appreciate a movie, but it's really eye-opening that both major newspapers rate a popcorn action movie so highly.

In addition, among the first reviews, "Sight and Sound" also appeared, and this magazine from the other side of the Atlantic also praised "Life and Death" for the first time.

"It's a bus that can't go slower than 50 mph or the bus will explode. Such a simple story, yet so charming, the movie ticks like a clockwork clock , The plot is very compact. When the audience feels relieved, the movie will come to an end.

Although it is said that the film has a little less thinking about the philosophy of life, the director also uses this method to tell the audience that every film does not need to be artistic and profound. It makes people hooked after watching it, and it is definitely a new model of action movies!

It must be specially mentioned here that the film's grasp of the rhythm of tense and relaxing moments is one of the important reasons why the film is outstanding. The humorous clips that pop up at tense moments in the movie make people laugh, ease the tense atmosphere on the scene, and at the same time have no effect on the progress of the plot.

For example, after Harry was kidnapped by Payne, he asked Jack to shoot and reward the hostages, but Jack actually shot Harry. As a result, Harry's complaint was in stark contrast to Jack's ridicule, and Payne was even more astonished. . A look at the moment of crisis made Xiaoguo come out.

For example, when Jack was chasing the bus on foot, he kept shouting 'LAPD, LAPD', but the bus couldn't hear him at all. Everyone regarded him as a lunatic, and he ignored Jack. Jack could only watch the bus leave. . The scene also has a cold humor effect.

For example, before Jack was about to jump from the sports car to the bus, he asked, "Does your car have insurance?" The black man smugly confirmed it, but the car door was smashed into the air in the next second. Even though everyone knew that this was not the time to laugh, the smile still rose to the corners of his mouth.

Another example is the interaction between Jack and Annie, which is only one or two sentences at a time, but it is very effective. The most representative is the dialogue at the end of the film, 'I must warn you, I heard that the relationship is based on adrenaline. Usually not long lasting. ' 'Then we have to use sex to maintain it. ’ This kind of little humor that makes people laugh is everywhere.

This kind of detail runs through the entire film, making the whole film in a highly tense situation, still showing a sense of ease, and also making the rhythm of the film fully reflect the essence of a popcorn action movie. It is worth mentioning that Hugo Lancaster proved through this film that he can not only act, but also perform any type of work well! "

In the end, "Sight and Sound" gave an evaluation of 88 points, which is still an unimaginably high score for an action movie. However, the review of "Sight and Sound" is not the most novel, and the review from the "Chicago Tribune" is the highlight.

In fact, the "Chicago Tribune" has always been at odds with Hugo. Since "Schindler's List", they have been ridiculing Hugo, which looks more like the "New York Post" and "National Enquirer". On the front lines, but there is no denying that their comments have always been full of dark humor.

This time, the "Chicago Tribune" unexpectedly praised "Speed ​​of Life and Death" for the first time, but this kind of praise made people laugh and cry.

"It's a really good movie, it's heart-pounding, blood-pumping, hormones soaring, sex. lust.

When Hugo Lancaster came on stage, he was handsome, full of aura, witty and heroic, which made all the SWAT team members weak, and Leonardo DiCapri standing beside him Ao is a perfect interpretation of the truth of 'blonde stunner'. Lancaster only has a round inch, but he is so handsome that people can't help but want to scream, and his masculine masculinity explodes completely.

If it's just handsome, such vases have grabbed a lot in Hollywood, although Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger's appearance is completely inferior, although Harrison Ford, Bruce Willis's The aura is completely incomparable, but Hugo Lancaster's handsomeness still makes people feel huge pressure; but what is even more valuable is that this character is perfect for turning the tide and turning the tide:

In the face of adversity, he is the first soldier, in the face of danger, he is not chaotic, he puts his life and death aside, in the face of the righteous words of the gangster, he embraces the beauty in his arms, and he is not afraid of life and death. Save everyone, even the crowd of onlookers will fall in love, let alone the woman who shares his life and death with him?

In addition to being very brave towards women, such a man is even more reckless towards his comrades. When Payne told Jack that he had killed Harry, Jack's broken and excited eyes pushed the friendship of men to the peak, making people involuntarily Thinking of the conversation between Jack and Harry after they solved the elevator bomb together, 'Is it fun', 'I'm very happy, how about you? sweetheart. ’

A good man who takes into account both love and friendship, makes women fascinated, and makes men show their hearts and souls, this is the real peerless good man! At the same time, it also performed a wonderful action movie! The tension makes one want to scream, like when Marilyn Monroe's skirt corners are lifted. "

It has to be said that the "Chicago Tribune" film review is full of deep ridicule, and this kind of praise even makes it impossible to distinguish whether it is praise or ridicule, but the problem is that they rated the film 85 points, which is It means they still have good reviews. As a result, this film review is more and more interesting, and it even triggered a wave of discussion.

The first six film reviews of "Speed ​​of Life" were all released. The lowest evaluation was 85 points from the "Chicago Tribune" and the highest was 93 points from the "Los Angeles Times". Under such momentum, in June The first week of box office life and death battle also kicked off.
