There is such a paragraph on the Internet, which is a question:
He has trained Batman and Obi-Wan.
He was Zeus, the king of the gods, and Aslan, the king of the lions.
Why are you guys still thinking of kidnapping his family!!??
As you may have guessed.
It is said that this old and strong, heavenly and omnipotent tough guy -
Liam Neeson.
In 2008, Uncle Liam (hereinafter referred to as "Uncle") starred in the blockbuster action movie "Hurricane Rescue".
The box office exploded, and word of mouth also exploded.
In order to save his daughter, the image of the uncle who single-handedly destroyed a gangster was also printed in the hearts of countless viewers.
Hurricane Rescue
After this, the uncle seems to have gone out of control on the road of "rescue".
Not long ago, the new film "Gold Rescue" starring uncle has just been launched.
Gold Rush poster
Counting this, not to mention the story content, even the title of the film with "rescue", he has already acted in six.
Save your daughter and save your ex-wife, save your ex-wife and save your lover, save the sky and save the air.
To tell the truth, there are not many relatives left for him to rescue.
Today, we will take this opportunity to take a good look at the uncle's "title with rescue series".
He may not be the best man in Hollywood, but he must be the man who saves people the most times.
The "Rescue" six-step series
>>>> Hurricane Rescue, Saving Daughter, 2008
The origin of this film can be said to be in China.
Prior to this, Niam Liansen was also quite famous, but he was not an action star.
Schindler's List
Until the Shanghai International Film Festival in 2006.
It was here that Liam Neeson met the top master of action movies, Luc Besson.
The two see each other, and Luc Besson tells Uncle that he is planning an action thriller.
Two years later, there was Hurricane Rescue.
The story of the film is simple and rough.
Uncle plays a retired CIA agent.
In the early years, because of work reasons, he often went out at home for 1 hour and half a month, unable to accompany his family.
Slowly, the wife became an ex-wife, and the daughter was brought to live with the ex-wife.
His impression of his daughter even stayed when she was a little girl.
Now that he has retired early, his only remaining wish is to have a good relationship with his daughter.
However, the daughter was caught by traffickers while traveling to Paris.
And that's it.
The uncle was forced to re-emerge from the jianghu and did everything in his power to turn Paris upside down.
The next plot actually does not need to be said more.
The uncle flew directly to France, followed by a drag race, gunfights, close combat...
Single-handedly destroyed an entire chain of kidnapping and prostitution in Paris.
Playing fast and accurate is naturally an important reason why this film is good.
But the reason why this film can become a hit may be largely because the role of uncle is well shaped.
It's not just a calculating, skilled agent.
More is a guilty, do not know whether to manage the daughter strictly or loosely, slightly stupid old father image,
There are two scenes in the film that particularly impressed me, neither of which were action scenes.
One is a trace of heartache flashing in the uncle's eyes after the daughter was caught on the phone with the uncle.
You will feel that your heart is tugging at it.
One is immediately followed by the uncle holding the phone and earnestly advising the villain on the other side.
It would have been some threatening words.
But because of the uncle's deep voice, as well as the rhythm and mood control when reciting this line.
Let this tens of seconds of literary drama become the highlight of the film.
If you pay attention, the poster of this movie is printed with these lines said by the uncle.
Of course, the villain's answer is also very highlighted.
Because the buddy replied very lightly, "Good Luck."
Pi this time, seems to be very happy.
Ostensible targets, save daughters, fight gangsters.
The deep goal is to save yourself and your family from the fate of drifting apart.
Both goals are simple, but the film brings them together perfectly.
This is the most valuable thing about this film.
>>>> Hurricane Rescue 2, Saving The Ex-Wife, 2012
The previous one saved the daughter, and this one saved the ex-wife.
The story begins when the uncle invites the mother and daughter to travel with him to Istanbul.
Who knew that in the gang that uncle killed in the previous film, there was the son of an exotic gangster boss.
Since it is the BOSS, of course, revenge.
After burying his son, he led his family to Istanbul, and the threat was menacing.
Unlike the first part, this time, he not only wants to kidnap the uncle's daughter, but even wants to kidnap the uncle's whole family.
The idea is good, but unfortunately the execution is not very good.
Although it took a lot of effort, he successfully captured his uncle and his ex-wife.
However, not to mention the idea that the whole family must be captured and shot together.
This old brother even locked the two of them in a factory building and left them alone.
Big brother, you woke up, forgot about the last episode he killed one of your organizations?
The result is not to be said -
The uncle successfully escaped from the predicament, and then successfully countered the killing.
In general, although this one is not very well received, it does produce some new things.
The previous one was alone in the tiger's den, one hit a group, mainly highlighting the force value.
This part is in prison, and the uncle shows off his reconnaissance ability.
Blindfolded, he wrote down the car's route and surrounding ambient sounds along the way.
Finally successfully found the address of the enemy's lair.
This ability to discern sounds is no less than Jason Bourne's infatuation.
In terms of action scenes, it is still the same cliché.
Drag racing, gunfights, close combat, everything is alive.
Although the length is a little less, it is still full of weight overall, and the play is also wonderful.
It's just that the second uncle's motivation is mainly on the ex-wife.
In order to highlight this, the director even felt that something was wrong after shooting the original version, and made another version.
In the original version, the uncle rescued his ex-wife 30 minutes before the end of the film and sent her to the embassy with his daughter.
In the end, it was all about killing back to prevent future troubles.
In the current version, it is changed to the uncle who only sent his daughter to the embassy 30 minutes before the end of the film.
In the end, he killed him to save his ex-wife.
There is nothing wrong with such a change.
Unfortunately, the preparation of the relationship between the uncle and the ex-wife is not as sufficient as that of the daughter.
Nor did it establish any deep character motives.
As a result, the story is much weaker.
However, the most surprising thing is the thinness of the BOSS.
When he appeared on the scene, he took various aerial shots, and he made a cool hanging explosion, and the result...
The beginning is loaded with B first class, and the end instantly becomes weaker chicken.
Without even fighting, he was killed by the uncle's move.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the boss's pull-over directly reduces the viewing of the entire film.
>>>> Hurricane Rescue 3, Save Yourself, 2014
After saving my daughter and ex-wife, it's time to save myself.
Compared with the first two films, the plot of this one is actually slightly more complicated.
Maybe also tired of being tied up + rescued mode, the director deliberately added suspense this time.
Seeing that his ex-wife and uncle were about to rekindle their old love, they died in the uncle's apartment for no reason.
The uncle was wrongfully turned into a murderer.
So he must evade the police while finding out the truth...
But after this suspense was revealed, it seemed a little too pediatric.
I won't spoil what it is, because there's nothing to say anyway.
The only point worth saying may be the last scene.
The villain is about to escape in a private jet.
Only to see the uncle driving the fifth-generation Porsche 911 galloping forward, directly crashing into the tripod of the plane.
Successfully prevented the villain from escaping.
Although I don't know if this is an advertisement for Porsche, this wave of operations is still quite handsome anyway.
>>>> "Air Rescue", Rescue Plane, 2014
After the hurricane series opened, Uncle participated in quite a few action blockbusters.
More than half a hundred years old, transforming into an action superstar is also a major miracle in the film world.
Inevitably, we will also receive some films that can be related to "rescue".
And it was from this movie that Uncle opened a branch in the rescue series -
Vehicle rescue series.
This time, the uncle played an air policeman who would drink and smoke heavily on the plane.
But he's a good air marshal.
He simply forgot the meaning of his life because he was immersed in the grief of his daughter's death.
But it doesn't matter, there are always well-meaning bandits to help him remember.
On the plane, a mysterious man hidden among the passengers sent him a message asking for $150 million.
Otherwise, every twenty minutes, he would have killed a man on the plane.
The whole story also revolves around finding this mysterious person.
As a "rescue" series, of course, there are also fight scenes in this film.
And fight in small spaces such as cabin walkways and airplane toilets, not to mention creative.
The look and feel is also quite good.
However, the most crucial thing is that the suspense of this film is extremely well shaped.
Originally, the uncle was investigating the case.
However, after checking it, he found that he had fallen into the trap of the mysterious man step by step.
It's okay to be turned into hijacking criminals by the passengers.
Overall, of the six rescue series, this is second only to Hurricane Rescue.
Well worth a look.
>>>> Commuter Rescue, Ambulance 2018
The second part of the vehicle series - trains.
Uncle plays a former New York police officer.
For the sake of his family, he gave up his high-risk job and became an insurance salesman instead.
Every day, he commuted to work on the same train, rain or shine for nearly a decade.
However, on this day, he was fired.
Thinking that the family's mortgage has not been paid off, and my son is about to go to college again,
Disheartened, the uncle stepped onto the train home.
However, a mysterious woman suddenly came over and told him that there were twenty-five thousand dollars in the bathroom.
Ask him if he would like to take on a small task that is extremely simple.
After saying that, I got out of the car.
The uncle also thought that the woman was joking, who knew that twenty-five thousand pieces were found in the bathroom.
Who can stand this.
Not to mention when the uncle is going to use the money.
Of course, do not take white and do not take.
However, taking this money means agreeing to the task that the woman said—
Find out from the passengers who got off at the terminal a man with a travel bag named Puran.
Of course the uncle did not want to.
However, the family kidnapped the uncle's family again as a blackmail.
The uncle could only be forced to agree.
The film as a whole is very similar to "Air Rescue".
They are all forced to do things by mysterious people.
Subsequent developments are also, one misunderstood as a hijacking of an airplane, and one mistaken for a hijacking of a train.
Although there are fewer fight scenes, there are several action scenes that are still quite creatively designed.
It was only obvious that the uncle's movements were getting slower and slower.
The existence of the casual ten in the past has now fallen to the point of being hammered by people.
>>>> "Gold Rescue" • Save Lover • 2020
Just when everyone thought that the uncle had no family to save and no means of transportation to toss, another screenwriter made a strange trick for him.
As the saying goes, there is no difficulty, and we must create difficulties.
In the same way, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a family, the screenwriter can create a family for him.
So the uncle made a girlfriend this time.
He plays a Jiang Yang thief who specializes in stealing banks, and before that, he was a Marine Corps demolition expert.
After making a girlfriend, the uncle had no intention of stealing money again, and only wanted to spend the rest of his life with his girlfriend without shame.
So he called the FBI and turned himself in.
Who knows, but he ran into a policeman who saw the money and wanted to swallow the money quietly.
The next plot is also an old routine.
The bad cops killed the witnesses, and once again blamed the uncle for the crime...
If it is an old iron who purely wants to watch action dramas, it can actually be given up.
Because this film has basically no action scenes.
There are only some simple melee fights, and the rest are mainly gunfights and car chases.
Even the scene of the uncle turning over the iron door was edited into a simple falling shot.
In fact, it is understandable.
After all, when this film was released, the uncle was already 68 years old.
>>>> "XX Rescue" · future
Although the uncle was getting more and more unable to fight, his rescue road seemed to be far from over.
As far as the currently known news is concerned, the uncle will have to rescue twice in the next two years.
2021's Ice Road Rescue.
The synopsis of the story is about the truck driver played by the uncle, who wants to go to the frozen sea to save the miners.
Yes, the sea, land and air are considered to be alive together.
There's also 2022's Reserve X-Men: Crisis Rescue.
This film has not released much news at present, but looking at the introduction, it seems to be related to the nuclear crisis.
If nothing else, it should be to save all mankind.
Life goes on, rescue goes on.
The uncle is also really worthy of this evaluation.
However, in my opinion, even the uncle saved people for so many years.
As long as there is one person he has not saved, this rescue universe is not complete.
This man is also a legend.
After entering Hollywood, he repeatedly played the role of being rescued, and the rescue resume was much more luxurious than that of Liam Neeson.
After all, that person had already been saved twice in outer space.
But Uncle's rescue is not yet beyond the scope of the earth. For now.
So, when did the uncle save Matt Damon.
This rescue of the universe is also complete.
