I am more interested in the subject of mercenary . At first, I saw Stallone took a group of old men to shoot three " Expendables " in a row. Although the story is very cliché, the blasting gun battle scene is particularly enjoyable, and it can be regarded as a qualified popcorn commercial blockbuster.
China is a forbidden place for mercenaries, so this type of subject matter is also very rare. After all, this kind of story cannot be placed domestically, but it can be placed abroad without deviating from our mainstream values. It is difficult to shoot high-quality works with fear.
However, some filmmakers do not believe in evil and must touch this theme. Moreover, instead of fighting foreign mercenaries like " Wolf ", they design the main line of Chinese mercenaries to perform tasks overseas. This movie is " wolves ".
At first, the name of the movie was called "Mercenary", but for some reason, it was changed to "Wolf Pack".
It can be seen from the propaganda slogan and poster design that "Wolf Pack" is the hot spot of "Wolf Warrior", which is the routine of many online movies.
Moreover, I also think that if the production level of "Wolf Pack" is such a large-scale production level, if it is broadcast on the Internet, it may be possible to earn a little money, but it chooses to choose the theater, and it is still in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Even if the cast includes Zhang Jin , Li Zhiting , Jiang Luxia, etc., but the story is too bad and the action scenes are too bad, in the end it only won more than 28 million box office. The word of mouth of
has also dropped from 6.9 points at the beginning to the current 6.3 points, which is a complete hit.
Watching this movie always makes me feel drowsy, the logic of the story before and after is not logical, and the characters are ambiguous.
Aside from Li Zhiting yelling and Zhang Jin swearing there, I really don't see any bright spots in this movie.
Li Zhiting plays Ke Tong, a doctor of medicine who travels around the world in order to find out the cause and identity of his father's death.
At this time, Lao Diao, played by Zhang Jin, appeared, intimidating and enticing Ke Tong to join their organization. In order to learn the truth about his father from Lao Diao, Ke Tong finally chose to cooperate.
Actually, I don't know exactly who this group of people is from the beginning to the end? In the beginning, the ton was used to describe the reward, and then it became the euro, and finally the money was not just for revenge.
In the early stage, Lao Diao regarded the task as more important than his life. I think he was a mercenary who worked hard for money.
Later, their mission was to protect the country's energy transportation lines, and I think this group should be Counter-Strike.
However, their way of doing things is not restricted, and they can directly kill the gangsters without saving the hostages. This makes me suspect that they have little to do with China.
Anyway, the identities of this group are really vague. Even if you cast them as mercenaries just for money in the early stage, in the later stage, because of something, such as the death of a brother, or seeing a compatriot killed, the hatred of the country and the family ignites the heart of justice.
It's a pity, the filming is daunting, there is no big opening like "The Expendables", and there is no lone hero like "Wolf Warrior", the story is messy, and there is no priority.
I especially hate the character Ke Tong, because of him several times the mission had to be adjusted. I don't understand why people like this are recruited into the team, even giving Ke Tong a line alone is better than forcibly integrating into the group.
What's more silent is the climax near the finale.
knew that the bomb was about to explode. In the early stage, Lao Diao, who had vowed to focus on the mission, suddenly ignored the mission and ran for revenge.
played with the villain for seven or eight minutes, and then set aside three or four minutes to resolve the crisis. This kind of story arrangement is really bad.
Did Zhang Jin choose to make such a bad movie because he was short of money?
I took a look at the director of this movie. He was born in online movies, and he has not passed the reputation of the film in the past. The production level of
"Wolf Pack" is also average in online movies, and it is not a good work.
I still like Zhang Jin who fights in suits and leather shoes. He should not imitate Wu Jing , nor should he try to find a breakthrough in war movies.
Maybe, he can really try more fashion action movies. In this field, there is no action actor to try.
"Wolf Pack" is not "Wolf Warriors", Zhang Jin is not Wu Jing, please find a good screenwriter to make films in the future, the story is the core of the whole film
