In the first week of June, the North American film market ushered in a hot showdown. The three films "Life and Death Hour", "Hillboy Conquer New York" and "Night Soldiers" were released at the same time, although the three films were all US$45 million. The following "small-cost investments" do not have the demeanor of a strong man who swept the army, but the fierce competition ignited the first time for the summer vacation in 1994.

In addition to these three new movies, the "Modern Primitives" and "Beverly Detective 3" released last week, and the "Gambler Mahuali" released last week also have strong box office driving momentum. All are enough to make this week's North American film market enter a fierce showdown.

After the premiere, "Life and Death Hour" was easily born as a dark horse, shaking the film market in the entire North American region, not only pushing the topicality of the premiere to the peak, but also making this movie not favored. Step by step, his action movie has moved to a classic position. This kind of strong homeopathy continued after the weekend's national release, and the second batch of film reviews was released. "Life and Death Speed" once again took the lead with absolute advantage, defeating two powerful 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 "Hollywood Report" two authoritative media!

The top film critic Roger Ebert commented in the "Chicago Sun" film review column, "We have seen similar themes-and many, many, but few have been able to perform so well, and very few have been able to perform Such high energy and maintaining this high posture from the beginning to the end is rare, rare!"

Although Roger did not express his appreciation positively, he can be seen from the sentence of the film critics. The evaluation of 100 points also proves this point. In the recommendation column, Roger said that if " If “Terminator 2” is three stars, then “Life and Death Hour” is four stars.

There is no doubt that Roger's favor on "Life and Death Speed" is all-round, even surpassing the classic "Terminator 2" in the hearts of countless people.

"U.S. Weekly" is also a member of the Percent Club, and they commented, "This movie looks like a classic action movie-for example, Die Hard, but it uses even better techniques. Combining all the elements of action movies together, it is like a perfect mixture of excitement and restraint, **** and humor. Even if you leave the movie theater, you still can’t get out of the movie in your brain, the kind of continuous pleasure that continues to this day Continuously!"

Although "U.S. 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 welcomed by many readers. This time, their comments are obviously much bolder than the "Los Angeles Times". At the same time, they compare "Life and Death" with another classic action movie "Die Hard", and they think like Roger. It is still "life and death" to win, which is definitely a rare sight.

The "New Yorker", who has always been professional, cold, and mocking, also took the "speed of life and death" with admiration this time. Not only did he give a perfect score of 100 points, but he also commented, "The result is obvious, and there is no doubt. This is the best vehicle action movie in half a century since "The Price of Fear (le...de.la.peur) directed by Henry-George-Cruzot in 1953!"

The foothold of the "New Yorker" is even higher. You must know that "The Price of Fear" is one of the most famous action movies in the international film industry. In the era when the international film festivals were not mutually exclusive, this work has won. Won the highest awards at the two film festivals in Berlin and Cannes, and is known as one of the most influential French films in the 1950s. The "New Yorker" now compares the "speed of life and death" with the "cost of fear", which is absolutely the highest praise.

The last percentile evaluation comes from the "Hollywood Report", "De Bont and his team have pushed the visual excitement and impact to the extreme, but they are incredibly reasonable and harmonious, and continue this excitement. Come down. A great movie!"

The influence of the "Hollywood Report" in the entire North American film industry can be described as unique, and their attitude can also be seen in the current attitude of the entire Hollywood towards "speed of life and death".

At this moment, if someone reads the previous predictions about the "speed of life and death", they will definitely fall through their glasses, just as the "New York Times" called Hugo's choice of "pulp fiction" as "stupid", "life and death". The public opinion frenzy faced during the shooting stage of "Speed" is not inferior, even worse than the treatment of "Pulp Fiction"-because the influence, popularity, and strength of Jane Yide-Bont is not as good as Quentin One Tower. Lentino.

To be precise, just three weeks before the release of "Life and Death Speed", no one could have expected such a situation. Almost everyone was bad at this movie, and almost everyone was not optimistic about this movie, even in the 20th century. Fox himself lacked self-confidence.

But as a result, "Life and Death Hour" ushered in a frenzy of praise in the first week of its release. Such a sharp contrast really makes it impossible to pull the dislocated jaw back. You can only walk into the cinema dumbfounded, then leave the cinema dumbfounded, and finally again. Opened the newspaper dumbfounded... The chin probably won't come back.

Although another authoritative magazine "Variety Show" in the Hollywood film industry did not give one hundred points, it still gave a high score of ninety points. I met excellent actors to perfectly execute an outstanding idea and present a splendid finished product!"

The "Rolling Stones" that have always been at odds with Hugo-in fact, apart from "Schindler's List", they never gave Hugo a good face, from movies to bands, but this time they gave With eighty-eight points, after "Schindler's list", he praised Hugo twice in a row, which is really surprising.

"If you are looking for a perfect action movie, try ‘Life and Death Hour’. It’s a mixture of suspense, excitement and fun. It’s an unforgettable runaway roller coaster ride!"

The "Empire" magazine from the United Kingdom commented, "There are only a few movies that can use such a sharp and fast editing to present the movie like "Life and Death", and maintain the excitement for a long time. Two hours!" The 80-point evaluation can still show their appreciation.

Of course, it’s impossible for a popcorn action movie to win unanimous praise. The “New York Post” is naturally unable to praise the movie when it faces box office gambling. Menden (ralph. kramden) imagined that the worst day of life was packaged, polished, and beautified and then put on the big screen, and it became the best day for the protagonists."

Love-Karamendon is a character from the drama "The Honeymoon Period (the. broadcast from 1955 to UL956. He is a New York bus driver who likes daydreaming all day, so he makes trouble. There were 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 Speed" in this way, and they didn't catch a cold on this movie at all. With only forty-five points, it is clear that Colin Mailer valued this gambling game.

And "USA Today" seems to agree with this, "In this type of movie, time is everything, and all the people who meet for the first time seem to be able to abandon rights, class, and prejudice to work together. It's really interesting." With this ironic tone and their 60-point evaluation, it is not difficult to see their attitude towards the film.

"USA Today" seems to be full of infinite resentment towards Hugo. From "Scent of a Woman" to "Schindler's List", it has hardly given Hugo a good face, and this time is no exception. However, they still gave sixty points and had to cross the pass threshold, and it seemed that they hadn't reached the bottom.

Even so, the overall evaluation of "Life and Death Hour" is mostly praised, and high scores of more than 80 points can be seen everywhere. "Scroll View" believes that "Jane Yide-Bont has turned a story that may be boring and clichéd into thrilling and exciting. , Wonderful again and again"; and the "TV Guide" commented, "De Bont’s directorial debut is incredible. He has completed an absolutely exciting action movie."

Both media gave an evaluation of 88 points.

A total of nineteen media submitted comments, and finally rated the "speed of life and death" media rating at 81 points. This is definitely a perfect answer for an action movie. If you make a horizontal comparison You know, the media review of "Terminator 2" that year was only 68 points, and obviously, the "speed of life and death" was a whole higher level.

What does this mean? It means that action movies can be loved by film critics. As the "Los Angeles Times" said, action movies are not only filmed specifically for male audiences, they should also be for The simple and crude pipeline products that all audiences watch will only gradually lose vitality to the action movie market. Only when more works like "Life and Death Speed" appear can action movies continue.

There is no doubt that "Life and Death Speed" is an excellent model. It won the love of the audience at the premiere, and then won unanimous praise from film critics, which made people realize that popcorn commercial movies can also be word of mouth. Go hand in hand with the box office, and such works have a wider audience market! Judging from the ratings of theaters after the premiere weekend, the score of "a" also proves that the cheers of the premiere are not just accidental. After the film was fully released, it still withstood the test of the audience.

Under such circumstances, almost everyone focused on the box office performance of "Life and Death Speed". This work has become a hot topic in the first week of June, and even the peak of the topic since the summer of 1994. , Then can the box office burst out with amazing data that matches it?

The "New York Post" and "Life and Death Hour" gambling games are about to reveal the preliminary data for the first week! (To be continued [provided].
