Jackie Chan said that "Jedi Escape" is a story he has been brewing for 25-30 years. To put it bluntly, I have thought the same thing. Many years ago, I watched an American road movie called "Midnight Run", about a bounty hunter who rushes with a witness and has to deal with a gangster killer along the way. The film was highly rated and led to a wave of road comedies of the same genre. The combination of action and laughter has many similarities with Jackie Chan's films, and the extraordinary cold-faced laugher played by Robert De Niro coincides with many of Jackie Chan's screen images. Jackie Chan, who knows a lot about the strengths of all, and it is also very natural to have an idea similar to this blockbuster. However, the more difficult part of this concept to achieve is that it needs a white character and a black character to match to play, and the Jackie Chan movies after the mid-eighties are always lonely heroes who break into the world, and they want to partner with dragon girls or division brothers, and the black and white Road team is not familiar to the audience, and the concept has not been completed for a long time. Later feng shui rotation, Jackie Chan hit Hollywood, his Western films are with a white or black partner, and often Jackie Chan play kung fu to beat people, partners play lip service cute, chemical reaction is strong, this formula is accepted by the Audience of the East and west, is coinciding with the "Midnight Run" model, Jackie Chan's long-cherished wish finally has a chance to pay off.
The most annoying thing is that Fan Bingbing, such a character, mixed into the enemy not only did not dry low-key conceal themselves, but over-ostentatious flaunting, not only did not have the slightest defensive ability, but got rid of a vase hostage-style character, as if it would not surprise people at all, are the people after the Tokyo Film Festival, can't we play a character with depth and connotation? Scheming is not just to seduce men, but to have a level and a plan to get what they want, just a performance that floats on the surface of the character, rather than trying to figure out the heart of the character, performing this thing, there will never be a climate. At the beginning of the movie, we set up a bridge section for the brothers to live and die, so that the tone of the movie was suddenly adjusted to a very heavy and depressing emotional road, followed by the implementation of a sweeping action, a stream of realistic style action movie jumped on the paper, I thought that the movie would continue to develop this tense and a little dark style, I did not expect that the movie immediately turned a corner, back to Jackie Chan's unique comedy action movie, I have to say that the original feeling that the movie will be a little small action possibility, Immediately, it gave people a kind of old-fashioned comedy action Hong Kong film that took the risk of taking the old road, completely without surprises and surprises, immersed in repetitive and old-fashioned plots and styles. However, this is another era of selling corruption, so the movie also keeps up with the trend, so that Jackie Chan also staged a sacrificial hue selling corruption plot, I have to say that the young and beautiful young people selling corruption is a very beautiful enjoyment, but Jackie Chan, who is over sixty years old, has staged a transnational base love to sell corruption, not only does not give people any kind of beauty enjoyment, but a little old and improper, late festival is not guaranteed.
"Jedi Escape" gives me another most intuitive feeling is that he does not have the faint didactic meaning of Jackie Chan's movies in recent years, but returns to the humorous atmosphere of the early Years of Jackie Chan movies, in fact, as far as the plot is concerned, this is the most simple, right and wrong, good and evil have a story, if you change the actors other than Jackie Chan to say, it will be a mediocre routine, but because of the charm of Jackie Chan's old Ji Futuo, he did not show off his feelings in this movie. Still with new action highlights and humor to impress the audience's ambition, so that the film burst out of a kind of ingenuity originating from the actors.
From a longitudinal point of view, this is undoubtedly a super big bad movie. But the simple vertical ratio is unfair, and in the Chinese film industry, which is currently a generally bad movie, I think he is really not a fighter in bad movies. I have to admit that Jackie Chan is indeed old, and the old is really powerful, although this piece is still barely a kung fu film, but in fact, the kung fu elements, or the real battle part, are not even as good as the myths of the year. Jackie Chan's action in previous years, has belonged to the slow motion level, and the frequency of combat is really low, the whole film in addition to the Russian matryoshka part is a bit creative, the other is really with rotten ten thousand years of terrier, and the so-called big scene is really shameful, just slide a ropeway are not posed well POSE. However, it doesn't matter if the battle is rotten, if the plot gives some force, or at least tries to give force, it is not impossible, such as the way of the Shinjuku incident, I think it is suitable for Jackie Chan who can't move. But in this film, the loss of points in the plot can be said to be more serious than the action scenes, if the action scene is more than enough and insufficient strength, the literary drama is simply broken cans, the whole story basically has no logic to speak of, and it is unreasonable all the time, and he himself does not want to make himself appear reasonable at all, the ending boss even the reason for the reversal is too lazy to make up a story that fully shows the film, and it is simply for a certain paragraph to shoot a random set. The two-protagonist mode of the rush hour is also not used well, mainly because the Western brothers responsible for ridicule are really not very powerful.
