1, "Violent Neighborhood 13: Ultimate"
For Violent Neighborhood 13: Ultimate, the choice to stop production of the sequel was a reasonable decision, as the plot seems to have reached a bottleneck of innovation. Still, the parkour scenes in the film are impressive, especially Leto's performance, which is light and full of grace in his movements, which is a visual treat for the audience. However, the fight scenes in the movie don't reach the same heights, and the protagonist's aura is too dazzling, making the opponent seem powerless. The scene design of the 13 district summit in the film is ingenious, which adds a bit of color to the whole film.
2, "Edge of Tomorrow"
The idea of Edge of Tomorrow is somewhat similar to that of Lola Run, with the same idea of a time loop, reminiscent of the story setting of Source Code. In terms of visual effects, the film tends to mimic the clean aesthetic of Pacific Rim. However, the recurring editing techniques in the film eventually made the audience feel aesthetic fatigue. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt's encounter at the training ground was particularly moving, and the scene was very well shot.
3、《拳霸》
"Boxer" presents the ultimate combat experience to the audience through pure kung fu elements, and the simple and straightforward plot brilliantly highlights the contest between good and evil and the firm determination to pursue goals. The display of Muay Thai in the movie is full of power and beauty, whether it is a flying kick in the flames, a hand-to-hand fight against a saw blade, or a wonderful fight in the ring, it all vividly shows the true essence of kung fu.
4. "Wolf Fang"
In "Wolf's Teeth", Kyungmei shows her versatile side with her youthful demeanor, and behind his taciturn words hides an unfathomable charm. Although the plot is relatively simple, both Jingmei's action scenes and emotional expressions are quite interesting. His interaction with the female boss in the film adds to the fun of the film. The battle scene in the rain is the climax of the film, and it would be even more impressive if it could be handled more carefully.
5, "Super Bodyguard"
Recently, when I was out for a meal, I happened to see the broadcast of "Super Bodyguard", and even if I watched it casually, I was deeply impressed by the fight scenes in it. Therefore, I deliberately sought out and watched this movie in its entirety. Although the dialogue in the film is a bit stiff, the fight scenes are really exciting, giving the audience a strong sense of impact. In this day and age, it is indeed a rare experience to be able to enjoy this kind of tough guy-style movie.
6, "Fuse"
Compared to other films of the same period, the overall performance of "Fuse" is at a medium level. The movie is short in duration and weak in plot construction, making it difficult to fully show the image of many characters. Although there are some memorable scenes in the movie, Fan Bingbing's role is slightly marginalized, and Louis Koo's role is not adequately handled. The most intriguing part of the movie is still Donnie Yen's brilliant fight scenes, which, although they take up most of the space, also make the whole movie seem a bit thin.
