Ang Lee, who was born in 1954, is really old, and sometimes people really have to accept the old. "Gemini Killer" is another 120-frame high-profile film after "Billy Lynn's Midfield War", and it is still doomed to lose money. The box office the day after the show was still at 54.28 million. As Ang Lee’s last attempt, this film did not defeat "Maleficent 2" as expected.

Li Ang is the opposite of his name, and is not a peaceful person. As a Chinese director who has long been recognized by the world, he has many honors such as the Oscar for Best Director, the Golden Horse Award, and the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award. Originally, as a well-known director of this age, he could lay down on his own merits to guarantee income from drought and flood.

​​However, "Gemini Killer" indicates that Ang Lee's continuous exploration in the technical field. If "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" is an exception, then "Gemini Killer" means that Ang Lee has put a "technology flow" label on himself. Although the symbolic significance of this technology is far greater than the practical significance.

A story that can be told in the last world, a plausible plot with barely complete logic, and a CG technique that is indistinguishable from true and false, constitutes the current "Gemini Killer". In my opinion, Ang Lee’s work should not be released, because this film is more like a draft, for example, a student preparing to go to the college entrance examination using a piece of waste paper to write a composition with full marks. The plot is the theme of a movie, and it is the foundation that determines the quality of the movie. But it is also the part that is most influenced by the director. This time, none of the main creators disappointed the audience. Will Smith performed the feeling he should have. If it weren't for the name of Ang Lee at the end, not many people would think it was a film made by a Chinese director.

Let’s talk about the plot first. A top killer was chased by his own clone, and finally killed the evil villain who created the clone, completing the understanding between himself and himself. On the surface, there are all the depths that should be, and the emotional entanglements involved are also very "Ang Lee". But it was just a glimpse, and none of the elements can show the depth that is expected or can be praised. Perhaps Li Ang is really old, even for the reconciliation between himself and himself, he no longer has the ability to dig deeper in his field of expertise. The hero is late, and what he fears most is not physical weakness, but there are still many good things that he wants to pursue in his heart, but he has no ability.
