Some movies really don't need to care about the plot, as long as you enjoy that adrenaline rush from beginning to end. Keanu Reeves's "Fast Pursuit" series and Iko Ouaise's "Raid" series are representatives of this type of action movie.
And when it comes to Korean cool films, Ma Dongxi is definitely a brother.
From "Train to Busan" to "The Legend of the Wicked" to the "Crime City" series, Ma Dong-seok has completely secured the throne of South Korea's number one tough guy and the first brother of South Korea's cool films with his crisp and neat skills, his self-joyful appearance, and the violent aesthetics of his fists.
The "Wilderness" (also known as "Land of the Nothing") that I want to talk about today is Ma Dongxi's latest work, which directly upgrades his unique violent aesthetics to the extreme, and the whole ** is cool from beginning to end, and it is the first cool film at the beginning of 2024.
Refreshing upgrades
In order to enhance the coolness, the movie specially designed many interesting scenes for Ma Dongxi.
Ma Dongxi is known as "One Punch Man", which means that one punch can knock people out. And in this movie, this ability is upgraded again: three punches and two kicks beat a group of thugs to the ground to find teeth, and then make them kneel in a row, each punch a punch, and send them directly to sleep in batches.
In addition to his crisp fists and feet, Ma Dongxi also demonstrated a variety of ** skills.
Cold weapons such as machetes, Ma Dongxi's burly figure with a machete on his back has a powerful and domineering spirit, and at the same time has a natural sense of joy. For example, after beating someone, I want to draw a knife, but because I am too tall to touch the handle......
In addition, Ma Dongxi also fully demonstrated the charm of hot **, with a troll in his hand, he directly destroyed the world. knives and trolls are combined with fists and feet in melee combat, and the fight is non-explosive, and it can even be comparable to the "Fast Pursuit" series.
In order to increase the beauty and enjoyment of the fight, the movie also specially equipped Ma Dongxi with a female military teammate. The female teammates' skills are clean and feminine, complementing Ma Dongxi's rough and brutal fighting style.
The actor is reliable
The director of this film, Xu Mingxing, is a well-known director who has filmed works such as "Xu Fu", "Deserter Pursuit Order" and "Return to Zero", and he is a good hand at shooting action scenes.
In addition to Ma Dongxi, Lu Zhengyi, who plays the heroine, is also a highlight.
This girl born in 2001 made her debut at the age of 9 by starring in "God's Test", and she became an adult.
The plot is simple
The background of the movie is set in the end times, a global ** destroyed more than 90% of the buildings on the earth, along with energy pollution and depletion, the surviving human beings were forced to return to the primitive era of Ru Mao drinking blood, and even drinking a sip of clean water has become an unattainable dream for everyone.
This is also the origin of the title of the movie "Wilderness".
So many families, represented by the heroine, happily joined the utopia, and then what awaited them was ** and nightmares.
It turns out that Professor Yang is an avid scientist, in order to resurrect his daughter who died unexpectedly, he is obsessed with the study of immortals, and the so-called free education in Utopia is actually to let children act as living subjects for him to do experiments.
By injecting drugs, Professor Yang can indeed make people immortal and indestructible, and his combat effectiveness will be greatly increased, but at the same time, he will also become a bloodthirsty monster who will only kill, and will no longer be human. What's even more cruel is that Professor Yang only accepts those who are useful for his experiments, and all those who are useless are executed.
As a young girl, the heroine is Professor Yang's most needed test subject, but her grandmother, who is elderly and in poor health, was secretly executed without even entering the door of utopia.
And the main line of the movie is the story of the protagonist group led by Ma Dongxi in order to rescue the heroine, avenge the grandmother, rush all the way to kill, and finally wipe out Professor Yang's entire ** gang.
So this kind of **, you don't need to use your brain, it's cool.
