When it comes to the story of Lori and Uncle, the first thing that many people think of must be Luc Besson's classic "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"
Both the precocious Matilda and the childlike killer Leon earned the audience's tears
If you say, such a story is like a beautiful adult fairy tale
Then, the story of Lori and Uncle to be introduced today is as real as hell
The film "Fury Rescue" takes place in Mexico on the other side of the world
This place, which is next to the United States, has a completely different picture
Chaotic and dirty cities, huge disparities between rich and poor, corrupt government police, and high crime rates
All let this country show a hellish temperament
It's a story about kidnapping
At the beginning of the film, in the part of the film, a kidnapping incident has been told
Kidnapping, blackmailing, mutilation, trading, the whole process in the shaky camera and Mexican flavor of music in one go
It shows an air of authenticity and despair
Kidnapping for ransom has become a mature business in Mexico, where the rich are at risk, competing to buy high kidnapping insurance and hire professional bodyguards
It was in this context that Denzel Washington appeared
He had 16 years of anti-terrorism experience, such as subverting the regime, armed invasion or something, because there was too much blood on his hands, he would always question himself after retirement, have a deep sense of guilt, and once decadently drunk and even had suicidal thoughts
Introduced by an old friend, he became a bodyguard for a wealthy mexican family, with the main task of protecting his 9-year-old daughter Pinta
It is said that little girls are angels who may be able to wash away all the sins of the human heart
Under the influence of Pinta, Uncle Denzel gradually stepped out of his shadow and began to smile at life
However, just as he was about to regain the meaning of life, the little girl was kidnapped
Although he resisted bravely and killed several corrupt policemen involved in the kidnapping, he was seriously injured and fell
Just like the kidnapping described in the first film, extortion, ransom
However, the involvement of the police did not have a good ending, the ransom was robbed in the middle of the way, and the kidnappers were furious and tore up the ticket
The little girl who had given Uncle Denzel a new lease of life was ruthlessly taken away, and he was pulled back into hell mode
Just like he said to the girl's mother
I'm going to kill them, all the people involved, all the people who get the benefits.
In the second half of the movie, Uncle Denzel exhausted his ability to kill people and began a crazy revenge
If you've seen "The Wrongdoer," which we introduced earlier and starred Denzel Washington, you should know how well Uncle Denzel is for the role, and he'll kill you a hundred ways
If he does not achieve his goal, he will not give up, not to mention that in this "Fury Rescue", he has no love, and will only be more crazy
Torture to extract confessions and chop off fingers
There are many remote explosions, snipers, and rpgs
And, of course, the hero never looks back in the explosion
The whole process is like his old saying: killing is his art
Or just in his own words: Forgiveness is a matter for them and God, and I am only responsible for getting them to meet
When he kept looking up the clues and killing people, he found that this kidnapping case was actually more complicated than he thought
Corrupt police chiefs hacked the ransom not to say
Even the little girl's own father and lawyers were involved in order to defraud high insurance money
But, as he once said, all those who gain, not a single one remains
When he finally learned that the little girl was still alive, he completed the final deal and let the little girl return to her mother
Just like the ending of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the little girl will continue to grow up, and the uncle's life will come to an end
They became each other's greatest meaning, completing each other's redemption
In addition to the story of Lori and Uncle in the film itself, the most addictive thing should be the unique image style and soundtrack
Shaky, flashback and textured color grading shots show an indescribable impact against the backdrop of psychedelic and Latin American-inspired music
The psychological fluctuations of the characters, the noisy chaos of the environment, and the beginning and end of the plot all become attractive in this impact of sound, light and shadow
Coupled with the cold and warm temperament of Uncle Denzel himself, the whole movie exudes a sense of heaviness that is different from traditional tough guy movies
