Some movies, even if the actor comes, it is difficult to reverse the fate of its bad films, and "Internet Holiday", which has just been launched on the North American online platform, is a living example.

In terms of the lineup of the film, this film can be called luxurious. Not only Mahershala Ali, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, joined. With his excellent acting skills, he played the role of Don Sherry in "Green Book" very well, which left a deep impression on the audience's minds.

In addition to the joining of Mahershala Ali, there is also Ethan Hawke, who won the Best Actor Award in many awards in succession with "The First Reformed Church".

and Julia Roberts, who won the Oscar for Best Actress for "Uncompromising".

The actor and the actress on the same stage should have been exciting, but the sparse plot lost the goodwill brought by the cast. Some netizens even suspected that this was a money laundering film.

So, what is the finished film, so that netizens have this idea. Let's talk about it today.

"Off-Internet Holiday".

The film is adapted from ** "Broken News", directed by Sam Esmael, the director of "The Matrix", and co-wrote the screenplay, but this film does not inherit the high quality of his other works, and the Douban score is only 6 points.

The beginning of this film is quite casual, just like the heroine Amanda in the film, just because she can't sleep, she plans to take the family on a trip, and arranges everything for the trip overnight.

In this way, Amanda's family started the vacation mode after waking up, and in order to have fun, they also rented a luxury villa for vacation.

But just as they were having fun, something strange happened. A cruise ship that was supposed to be sailing normally was heading towards the beach, and everyone immediately dodged when they saw this.

However, the weird things didn't stop.

Amanda's family, who returned home, wanted to know the whole story of the cruise ship rushing to the beach, so they searched the Internet. As a result, it was found that the network was not working properly, and not only that, but even the mobile phone did not have any signal. This means that they are disconnected from the outside world.

Despite this, it still failed to attract the attention of Amanda's family, who still naively believed that the disconnection was only temporary. It wasn't until the arrival of two strangers that the true nature of the matter was gradually revealed.

At night, two strangers, a man and a woman, knocked on the door of Amanda's villa. The man tells Amanda that his name is George, that he is the owner of the villa where they are, and that he has to return to the villa to find shelter because he can't find a suitable place to live in the city.

In the face of their rhetoric, Amanda did not believe it, and always thought that they had ulterior motives. However, everything that happened next made them have to huddle together to keep warm.

They found that things were far worse than they had imagined, as hackers had overrun the entire country's network, and not only did planes lose control and crash into the ground, but cars equipped with self-driving capabilities blocked the only road to the outside world.

Not only that, but even the satellite** does not work at all, at this moment they call the sky should not be, and the earth is not spiritual. To make matters worse, Amanda's son contracted a strange illness after being bitten by a bug. This undoubtedly made the already anxious people even more panicked.

At the same time, Amanda's daughter also disappeared inexplicably, and Amanda was so anxious that she called out to her daughter in the forest. As everyone knows, her daughter is staying in a castle at the moment, munching on snacks and chasing down her favorite episodes.

This is the end of the film, leaving a blank space for the audience to imagine alone. Compared with the blank space of other films, the blank space at the end of this film is not clever, and it does not give people a sense of unfinished business, giving people the feeling that it is more like a movie that is interrupted after only half of the filming.

Not only that, although the film is called a thriller, it fails to give the audience a tense atmosphere, on the contrary, the suspenseful atmosphere is very sufficient, which whets the audience's appetite.

For example, the villain who never appeared in this incident, who is he sacred, and what is his purpose. These mysteries make people can't help but follow the pace of the protagonist to explore.

Although the suspenseful atmosphere is sufficient, the narrative technique of a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west destroys the suspense that has just hung the audience's appetite, causing the perception of the whole film to struggle back and forth between expectation and disappointment.

And such a fragmented plot also leads to a lack of completeness in the story, making people feel as if the screenwriter is telling a story and doesn't seem to say anything. As netizens said, a group of big names don't know what to do.

It can be said that this sparse plot is like an abruptly interrupted ending, even with the blessing of the actor and actress, it is difficult to reverse its dilapidated fate.
