77-year-old Stallone, 56-year-old Statham, stiff-faced Meghan: Is "The Expendables 4" good?

Stallone, a child who grew up in a slum, was expelled from 12 schools for fighting, and at the age of 71, he lifted 50kg dumbbells with one arm and did pull-ups with 90 pounds at the age of 75.

Jason Statham, a national diver, trained with the Navy SEALs.

50 cents, wrote songs to provoke the drug lord boss, was shot 9 times on the street and did not die, escaped.

Duflungel, captain of the Swedish senior karate national team and European heavyweight karate champion, once punched Stallone to hospital.

Randy Kudrow, eight-time Classic Wrestling Champion and Runner-up, and five-time World Championship Champion. In the movie, his "Blossom Ear" ridiculed by the team members was "crippled" in the UFC.

Tony Jia, 10-year-old martial arts practitioner, idol is Jackie Chan, the world's No. 1 Muay Thai ranking, known as Thailand's "Bruce Lee".

Ikouais, the same 10-year-old learned Indonesian traditional martial arts, Southeast Asian action superstar.

Some people say that "The Expendables 4" is a heroic twilight emotional film, but it seems that the experience of these "world-class macho men" themselves will tell you what a tough guy is - many times, their raw is not acting, it is really fierce!

So Is "The Expendables 4" good? After all, half of these macho men are old! Thirteen years ago, Stallone insisted on real shooting throughout. But in the tidbits of Dare 4, a simple martial arts move, he could not take the move, had to shoot in a different position.

13 years ago, Rungel was a sniper in a hundred shots, but in Dare 4, before the 66-year-old shoots, he had to wear reading glasses, so sad! 13 years ago, Randy won with speed, but in Dare 4, he was stabbed in the waist by the enemy because he was one step slower, and he almost died... Heroes will eventually grow old, will "The Expendables 4" be as bloody as the first three?

The two brothers Stallone and Statham cooperated, quite "across the world"

The first part of "The Expendables" was released in 2010, and "The Expendables 2" was released in 2012, and "The Expendables 3" was released in 2014.

Although the first three films also have Stallone and Jason Statham in the same frame, after all, 13 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

These two in "The Expendables 4" are in the same frame, and they still can't get tired of watching it.

In fact, the main plot of Dare 4 is quite "across the world": the two brothers do not give up until death, each has a unique job, the wisdom of Stallone (Barney), and the "righteousness" of Jason Statham (Christmas) are moving.

And dare 4 reproduces the classic dialogue of the two of Dare 1: "You almost killed me!" ”

The first shot of the film begins at a discarded chemical plant in Gaddafi.

The mercenary corps and arms dealer Ramat is carrying sniper rifles, tanks, missiles and other heavy firepower, stealing the military's nuclear bomb detonators, and the death squad is going to block the attack.

Since the sniper Gunner was not wearing reading glasses, he missed a good opportunity to kill Ramat with one shot!

In the end, although Ramart's entourage was destroyed, Ramat won a big victory.

Because when the Christmas horse caught up with him, he hit the fighter piloted by Barney with a shell.

Christmas decisively abandons the task of recovering the nuclear bomb detonator and turns to save Barney.

Unfortunately, the man in the driver's seat has been charred, the nuclear bomb detonator is missing, and the mission fails.

As the captain of the death squad, Barney's last order was to order Christmas to "leave him alone and continue the mission", but Christmas chose to save people, so he was expelled by the superior of the "death squad" Marsh.

His "fierce girlfriend" Gina (Megan Fox) acts as the acting operation captain, and the second operation to "avenge Barney and reclaim the detonator on the freighter" begins.

In order to help Barney avenge it, before the action, Christmas gave Gina, who had a tracker installed on the short knife.

And the Gina action group, which arrived at the freighter at this time, was disarmed as soon as the freighter arrived, and their commander Marsh was taken away by the villain.

Thanks to Christmas's tracking on board with the signal of the "short knife", he even has the energy to find Barney's teammate Decha (Tony Jia), who Barney thought he could play the most during his lifetime, and the two almost solved the half-boat man.

After the death squad was rescued, everyone also knew half the truth of the matter:

The freighter was carrying a nuclear bomb, which Ramat wanted to sail into Russian waters, and then detonate it with a detonator, which would trigger a world war. So the people had a new task - to stop the nuclear bomb from exploding.

As the operation progressed, the other half of the truth also surfaced: the person who exposed the whereabouts of the death squad turned out to be the superior of the death squad, Marsh, who was also the mastermind behind the "nuclear explosion plan", and the real purpose of his fake mission was to lure the death squad on board, and then plant the nuclear bomb explosion on the "death squad".

And Christmas became a "fish that slipped through the net" because of his expulsion, inadvertently sabotaging Marsh's plan.

Near the end of the film, Marsh, who saw that the matter was revealed, threw the nuclear bomb detonator into the sea, and the explosion was a foregone conclusion, and the death squad was unable to return to the sky!

At this time, Christmas made a decision to "kill his teammates", he asked everyone to evacuate, and he planned to sail the freighter out of Russian waters alone and wait for the nuclear bomb to explode.

In the nick of time, Barney suddenly appeared again in a fighter plane, solved Marsh, and rescued Christmas...

It turned out that five years ago, after Barney discovered the truth, he began to set up a "suspended animation" strategy, so that Marsh showed his tail, and the charred driver was just a tavern punk.

It can be said that the friendship between Barney and Christmas is so good! When Barney is desperate and determined to be martyred at Christmas, his brother appears majestically in the sky - this is a different kind of romance that belongs to the macho man!

Addictive nuclear explosions, missile explosions, weapon shows and short knife hand-to-hand combat

One thing I didn't expect was that I didn't see the addictive nuclear bomb explosion scene in "Oppenheimer", but I was satisfied in "The Expendables".

When Barney reappeared, he first covered Christmas with anti-aircraft guns, killed Marsh, and sank the freighter with three strikes and five by two.

The nuclear bomb sank to the bottom of the sea and exploded, forming a spectacular mountain higher than a fighter plane on the surface of the sea, and a mushroom cloud like the face of the devil devouring.

There were also missiles and anti-aircraft guns in the limelight, and all the bombing effects were given directly.

In addition to these, the weapons and equipment in "The Expendables 4" are just as hardcore and good-looking.

In addition to the previously appeared FN F2000 assault rifle, MP5K-PDW, MP5K.

There is also the M79 howitzer (nicknamed "Thump-Gun", "Thumper" and "Blooper"), which made its mark in The Expendables 4.

There are also AR15, Gatling, and the Caesar-mounted gun that can hit tanks and lightly armored vehicles, all of which are hardcore in a second at the beginning of the film.

By the way, don't forget that in the movie, cold weapons are always to show off their skills.

There are two cold weapon hand-to-hand combat in the film that are very good: one is when Christmas rescues everyone on the freighter, and the throwing knife is inserted into the throat many times. Jason Stanlin's action scenes have always been clean and sharp, never dragging mud and water, and can never be killed and never allowed to live [cover face].

Another time, it was Xiu's double knife when fighting Ramat.

Although the fist and foot kung fu let Ramat "pretend", but helpless Christmas tactics dripping, find a weak point and let you get hurt, the key opponent thinks he has no weapon, he suddenly draws an axe from the back - that is to steal Longger!

The beauty found a lot of saber types that resemble Christmas, and the blade is a bit like a combination of this "tactical knife" and "spider".

As for Li Wei Chen, who plays the "whip girl", she really can't understand the paragraph where she "fights the villain with Decha with a steel whip", the whip can hit it with ten strokes, or just draw a purlin out, you two take a revolver and end it with a shot... Isn't it fragrant?

Megan Fox is slightly greasy

Megan Fox should also be one of the highlights of "The Expendables 4".

Appearing as a "madwoman quarrel" is also quite amazing, which complements the Transformers "showing their waist" that year.

After all, no one expected that the only female captain in the history of the death squad would also be driven crazy by the fact that "her husband has no future".

However, the performance behind it was mediocre.

In terms of the vividness of the expression and the lightness of the characters, it is not as good as Li Wei Chen.

She and Jason Stanlin have a "CHUANG play" flavored indoor fight scene, and personally I feel that it is a little lustful for the sake of desire.

Coupled with her plastic surgery face that has not fully recovered, and her acting skills that have not improved, some close-ups have a "artificial camouflage" feeling, destroying the overall harmonious beauty of "Dare 4".

There is also a paragraph when Gina replaced Christmas as the "second captain of the death squad", as if in order to be tough, she picked up a glass and drank alcohol, but why do you have to stick out your tongue first, it's so greasy.

However, the overall harmony between Meghan and the tough guys who dare 4 is still there, such as this still.

Overall, "The Expendables 4" is still worth watching in theaters, especially for audiences who have feelings for this movie series. 4 old tough guys have never been absent for 13 years, never left our youth in 13 years, and they present the tough guys in the "final chapter" as loyal and authentic. Perhaps the hero said goodbye to the blood of the year, but as netizens said:

In the end, Wolverine retracted his paws and Iron Man's reactor went out... Naruto becomes Hokage... Harry Potter defeated Voldemort, and the mission of the death squad came to an end. It's the parting of the movie, but also our growth.
