Chapter 888
Is "Speed of Life and Death" really qualified to challenge classic masterpieces in film history? After the movie is fully released, the market will give an answer.
So, is "life and death speed" really qualified to confront "real lies"? This answer will be revealed in five weeks, but there is still some time before "real lies" is released. Compared to this duel, people are obviously more keen to discuss the upcoming "wolf" and "life and death speed" duels to be staged next week. Now it seems that the "wolf" crew has already felt endless pressure.
From here, we can see that this review of the Los Angeles Times not only praises the "speed of life and death", but also pushes the "speed of life and death" to the forefront, making this action movie that was ignored by the film market due to its low investment instantly attract countless attention. The entire public opinion reached a new high, which made the passion of summer truly come to the North American film market.
In fact, the "Speed of 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 movie. With the premiere, the "Speed of Life and Death" has been pushed to the most anticipated and most worthy of attention in the summer season of 1994 so far!
The name of the "New York Times" also appeared on the first media list of comments, first "Schindler's List" and then "Pulp Novels", and now it is "Speed of Life and Death". This shows that the "New York Times" seem to be paying more and more attention to Hugo's works. As for the mystery, only people in the circle can understand it briefly.
"As an action movie, the story framework and narrative skills of 'life and death hour' combined with the tense action scenes are enough to make many similar works known as 'classic' as shameful, and can definitely be called a true classic that makes people shine!
The movie lasted for nearly two hours in total, and the audience was like taking a high-rise elevator and an ordinary bus, and being hijacked on the subway. They felt nervous and exciting throughout the whole world, and they were done in one go, without any slight slackness. The most important thing is that they were like they were in it, making the whole story real and credible.
Although the murderer was exposed at the beginning and lost some suspense, the plot afterwards was linked. After a crisis, another difficulty appeared. He overcomes difficulties step by step and then moves towards the final goal. The story framework and crisis come from layers make the whole story look simple but complex, with many twists and turns, rich and colorful. The whole movie brings the word "speed" to the extreme. From the elevator to the bus to the subway, all keywords are combined with speed, pushing the movie to the top. The thrilling action scenes are constantly exciting, making the entire movie viewing process full of adrenaline.
In addition to the exciting plot development and thrilling action scenes, the actor factor is also a highlight. The round Hugo Lancaster and the lady with a little bit of cute Sandra Brock are a match made in heaven and are pleasing to the eye.
Lancaster is handsome and handsome in the movie, and his masculinity explodes. Whether it is to completely remove bombs or jump from a sports car to a bus, he can be said to have done his best, retaining the qualities of an ordinary person, and bringing his potential to the extreme, making people applaud. Although the young and eye-catching Brock does not have much room to play, it is amazing enough to interpret the emotional spark between Anne and Jack to be truly and credible.
This movie must be highly recommended. I hope that the audience will enter the cinema to enjoy this work as soon as possible. Not only male audiences, but also female audiences will also like this movie. Even if they don’t like the stimulation of adrenaline explosion, they will definitely hope that Lancaster will desperately save the heroine’s domineering spirit.
This is an action classic that you must not miss!”
The New York Times almost praised the movie throughout the article, and the final score of 89 points can also show their attitude. It has to be said that this is a very rare situation. It is not that the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times both expressed their appreciation for a movie, but that these two newspapers gave such high praise to a popcorn action movie, which is indeed eye-catching.
In addition, among the first batch of comments, "visual and hearing" comments appeared. This magazine from across the Atlantic also praised the "speed of life and death" at the first time.
"This is a bus with a speed of not less than fifty miles, otherwise the bus will explode. Such a simple story has endless charm. The movie is like an alarm clock with a clockwork, ticking and ticking, and the plot is very compact. When the audience feels relieved, the movie is over. The movie is completed in one go without stopping, which is amazing!
Although the movie has less thoughts about life philosophy, the director also uses this method to tell the audience that every movie does not require art and depth. It is actually a problem-solving film, but it can still be filmed so compact and exciting that it makes people feel excited after watching it. It is definitely a new model of action movies!
It must be specifically mentioned here that the movie's grasp of the rhythm of the moments of tension and relaxation is one of the important reasons for the film's excellence. The humorous clips that pop up in the moments of tension make people laugh, ease the tense atmosphere on the scene, and at the same time have no impact on the plot progress.
For example, after Harry was held hostage by Peren, he asked Jack to shoot and reward the hostages. As a result, Jack really shot Harry. As a result, Harry's complaints formed a sharp contrast with Jack's jokes, and Peren was even more shocked. A look at him at the moment of crisis made Xiaoguo come out.
For example, when Jack was hiking and chasing the bus, he kept shouting ‘lapd, lapd’, but he couldn’t hear it clearly on the bus. Everyone regarded him as a lunatic, but ignored Jack. Jack could only watch the bus leave. The scene also had a cold humorous effect.
For example, before Jack was about to jump onto the bus from a sports car, he asked, "Is your car insured?" The black man proudly confirmed it, but the next second the door was knocked away. Even though everyone knew that it was not the time to laugh, his smile still rose to the corner of his mouth.
For example, the interaction between Jack and Anne is only one or two sentences at a time, but it is very effective. The most representative one is the ending conversation, ‘I must warn you that relationships caused by adrenaline usually do not last.’ ‘Then we have to use sex to maintain it.’ This kind of little humor that makes people smile can be seen everywhere.
This detail runs through the whole movie, which still reveals a hint of ease while the whole movie is in a very tight situation, and also makes the rhythm of the movie fully reflect the essence of a popcorn action movie. It is worth mentioning that Hugo Lancaster proves through this movie: he can not only act, but also act in any type of work!"
In the end, "Visual and Audio" gave an 88-point evaluation, which is still an unimaginable super high score for an action movie. However, the "Visual and Audio" review is not the latest, and the reviews from the "Chicago Tribune" are the highlights.
The Chicago Tribune has actually been inconsistent with Hugo. Since the "Schindler's List", they have been sarcastic about Hugo. They look more like the "New York Post" and "National Inquiry" front, but it is undeniable that their comments have always been full of black humor.
This time, the Chicago Tribune unexpectedly gave praise to the "speed of life and death" as soon as possible, but such praise is quite amused.
"This is a truly good movie, which makes people's heart beat faster, blood gush, hormones soar, sexual desire, and great development...'Speed of life and death' vividly interprets the essence of an action movie.
When Hugo Lancaster appeared, he was handsome, handsome, full of aura, witty and brave, which made all the SWAT team members weak. Leonardo DiCaprio, who was standing beside him, perfectly interpreted the truth of the "blonde beauty". Lancaster only had a round inch, but was so handsome that he couldn't help but scream, and his masculine and tough manly temperament completely exploded.
If it's just handsomeness, such vases are all caught in Hollywood. Although Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger's appearance are completely inferior, and although Harrison Ford and Bruce Willis' aura is not as good as that, Hugo Lancaster's handsomeness still makes people feel tremendous pressure; but what's more valuable is that this character goes to heaven and earth and turns the tide, which is perfect:
He leads the way when encountering difficulties, remains calm in danger when encountering danger, puts life and death aside, faces the criminals' righteous words, sits in the arms of the beauty, and is not afraid of life and death at the critical moment. Those strong and tense arms only embrace women, and sacrifice their lives to save everyone. Even the onlookers are about to fall in love, let alone the woman who shares life and death with him?
In addition to treating women very bravely, such men are even more desperate to treat comrades. When Peren told Jack that he had killed Harry, Jack's collapsed and excited eyes pushed the man's friendship to the peak, making people involuntarily remember the conversation after Jack and Harry joined forces to solve the elevator bomb, "Is it fun?", "I'm very happy, what about you? Sweetheart."
A good man who takes into account love and friendship makes women fascinated and makes men feel loyal. This is the real peerless man! At the same time, he also performs a wonderful action movie! The nervousness makes people want to scream, just like when Marilyn Monroe's skirt is lifted up."
It has to be said that the film reviews of the "Chicago Tribune" are full of deep jokes. This praise even makes people unable to distinguish whether it is praise or ridicule. But the problem is that they gave 85 points for the film, which means that they still received good reviews. Therefore, this film review became more and more interesting and even triggered a wave of discussion.
