In the first week of June, the North American film market ushered in a hot showdown, "Life and Death", "Hillbilly Conquest of New York" and "The Mobilization of Soldiers" three movies were released at the same time, although the three films are all "small cost investment" of less than 45 million US dollars, and none of them have the strong demeanor of sweeping thousands of armies, but the fierce competition still ignited the first time in the summer of l994**.

In addition to these three new movies, "Modern Primitives" and "Beverly Detective 3" released last week, and "Gambler Ma Huali" released last week still have strong box office momentum, which is enough to make the North American film market enter a white-hot showdown this week.

After the premiere, "Life and Death" was easily born as a dark horse, shaking the entire North American film market, not only pushing the topicality of the premiere to the peak, but also pushing this unpromising action movie to a classic position step by step. This strong trend continued after the national release in the United States over the weekend, when the second batch of film reviews was released, and "Life and Death" once again led the way with an absolute advantage, defeating two strong competitors without any suspense.

Surprisingly, four professional film review magazines gave full marks, even more generous than the Los Angeles Times, including the Chicago Sun and The Hollywood Reporter!

Top film critic Roger Ebert commented in the Chicago Sun's film review column, "We have seen similar subjects before—and there are many, many of them, but few can show such a good thing, and rarely can show such a high energy, and maintain this high profile from the beginning to the end, rare, rare!" ”

Although Roger did not express his praise positively, it can be seen from the sentences of the film reviews that he admires it, and the full score of 100 points also proves this, and in the recommendation column, Roger said that if "Terminator 2" is three stars, then "Speed of Life and Death" is four stars.

There is no doubt that Roger's good impression of "speed of life and death" is all-round, even surpassing the "Terminator 2" that countless people regard as a classic in their hearts.

"America Weekly" is also a member of the 100% Club, and they commented, "This movie looks like a classic action movie - like 'Die Hard', but it uses a better technique to blend together a qiē element of an action movie, which is like a perfect mixture of excitement and restraint, ** and humor, even after leaving the cinema, the brain still can't get out of the movie, and the constant pleasure is still endless!" ”

Although "American Weekly" is also considered a member of the "pro-Hugo faction", and their main reports are mainly gossip, it is undeniable that their film reviews are still popular with many readers. This time, their comments are obviously much bolder than those of the Los Angeles Times, and they also compare "life and death" to another classic action movie, "Die Hard", and like Roger, they think that it is still "life and death" victory, which is definitely a rare sight.

The "New Yorker", who has always taken the professional, cold, and mocking route, was also impressed by the "speed of life and death" this time, not only giving a perfect score of 100, but also commenting, "The result is obvious, and there is no doubt that this is the 'Price of Fear' directed by Henry George Cruzot in l953. salaire。 de。 la。 peur), the best vehicular action movie of half a century! ”

The New Yorker is even more important, as "The Price of Fear" is one of the most famous action films in international cinema, winning the highest awards at Berlin and Cannes at a time when international film festivals were not mutually exclusive, and is hailed as one of the most influential French films of the fifties. And the "New Yorker" now compares the "speed of life and death" to the "price of fear", which is definitely the highest praise.

The last 100 points came from The Hollywood Reporter: "Deyi Bont and his team have pushed the visual thrill and impact to the extreme, but it is incredibly reasonable and harmonious, and they have continued this thrill." A great movie! ”

The influence of "Hollywood Reporter" in the entire North American film industry can be said to be unique in the world, and their attitude can also show the current attitude of the entire Hollywood towards "life and death".

At this moment, if someone reads everyone's previous predictions about the "speed of life and death", they will definitely fall through the glasses, just as the "New York Times" called Hugo's choice of "vulgar" "stupid" before, and the frenzy of public opinion faced by the preparation stage of "Speed of Life and Death" is not inferior, and even worse than the "vulgar" treatment - because the influence, popularity, and strength of Jane Yide and Bonte are not as good as Quentin and Tarantino.

To be precise, no one could have predicted such a situation just three weeks before the release of "Life and Death", almost everyone was singing about the movie, almost everyone was not optimistic about the movie, and even Twentieth Century Fox himself was not confident.

But as a result, "Life and Death" ushered in a frenzy of praise in the first week of its release, and such a sharp contrast made it impossible to pull back the dislocated jaw, so they could only walk into the cinema in amazement, then leave the cinema in amazement, and finally open the newspaper in amazement...... The jaw is probably not coming back.

Another authoritative magazine in the Hollywood film industry, "Variety", did not give a score of 100, but still gave a high score of 90, "This is the most wonderful situation: the first time the director Jane Yide and Bonte met excellent actors who perfectly executed an excellent idea in place, presenting a wonderful finished product!" ”

The "Rolling Stones" who have always been at odds with Hugo - in fact, they have not given Hugo a good face except for "Schindler's List", from movies to bands, but this time they gave an unprecedented score of 88 points, and praised Hugo twice in a row after "Schindler's List", which really makes people fall through the glasses

"If you're looking for the perfect action movie, try 'Life or Death', a mixture of suspense, thrill and fun for an unforgettable runaway rollercoaster ride!"

The British magazine "Empire" commented, "There are very few films that can be presented with such sharp and fast editing as 'Life and Death', and maintain that thrill for up to two hours!" Their appreciation can still be seen in the evaluation of 80 points.

Of course, it's impossible for a popcorn action movie to get unanimous acclaim, and the New York Post, in the face of a box office gamble, naturally can't praise the movie. The worst day of Kramden's fantasy life is packaged, polished, and beautified and then put on the big screen, turning into the best day for the protagonists. ”

Ralph Karamenden is a reference to the episode "The Honeymoon Period" that aired from 1955 to UL956. honeymooners, a New York bus driver who daydreams all day long and makes a lot of jokes.

Obviously, the New York Post satirized the vulgar and boring trick of using the bus as a story carrier in "Life and Death" in this way, and they were not interested in the film at all. And with only a 45-point evaluation, it can be clearly seen that Colin Mailer attaches great importance to this gamble.

And USA Today seems to agree, "In this type of movie, time is of the essence, and it seems that all the people who meet for the first time can put aside rights, classes, and prejudices and work together, which is really interesting." This ironic tone is paired with their 60% evaluation, and it is not difficult to see their attitude towards this movie.

"USA Today" seems to be full of infinite resentment towards Hugo, starting with "Smell a Woman" and ending with "Schindler's List", almost never gave Hugo a good face, and this time was no exception. However, they still gave 60 points, and had to cross the passing threshold, and it seems that it is not bad to the bottom.

Even so, the overall evaluation of "Speed of Life and Death" is still mostly positive, and high scores of more than 80 points can be seen everywhere, "Reel Browsing" believes that "Jane Yide and Bangte turn a potentially boring and cliché story into a thrilling and exciting"; And the "TV Guide" commented that "Deyi Bonte's directorial debut is incredible, and he has completed an absolutely gripping action movie"

Both media outlets have given 88 points.

A total of nineteen media sent comments, and finally the media comprehensive evaluation of "speed of life and death" was rated at eighty-one points, which can definitely be called a perfect answer for an action movie, if you do a horizontal comparison, you will know that the media comprehensive evaluation of "Terminator 2" that year was only sixty-eight points, and obviously, "speed of life and death" is a whole level higher.

What does this mean? It means that action movies can also win the love of film critics, as the "Los Angeles Times" said, action movies are not only made specifically for male audiences, but should also be shown to all audiences, simple and crude assembly line products will only make the action movie market gradually lose its vitality, and only when there are more works like "Life and Death" can action movies continue.

There is no doubt that "Dead or Dead" is a great example of how it won the love of audiences at the premiere and then the praise of critics, which made people realize that commercial popcorn movies can also go hand in hand with the box office, and that such works have a much wider audience market! Judging from the theater ratings after the premiere weekend, the "A" score also proves that the cheers of the premiere are not just accidental, and the film still withstood the test of the audience after the full release.

In such a situation, almost everyone focused their attention on the box office table of "Speed of Life and Death", which has become a hot topic in the first week of June, and even the peak of the topic since the summer of 1994.

The New York Post and the "Speed of Life and Death" gamble is about to reveal the preliminary numbers for the first week! (To be continued [Provided].)
