A Nostalgic View of the Golden Age of the Fighter Genre
I will share my impressions of the film "Repayment".
This action thriller, directed by Brian Helgeland, is based on the novel The Hunter by Donald Westlake. Mel Gibson played the main character - a criminal bandit named Porter, who tries to take revenge on his former partners who betrayed him and stole his share of the robbery.
The script was written by Terry Hatcher, who is also the author of the original novel The Hunter, on which the film is based. The script has many unexpected twists and interesting moments that do not let you get bored.
The plot of the film is not new, but its execution is very high quality. Mel Gibson played Porter, creating a character who stops at nothing to achieve his goal. In addition, the cast of the film is very good - Maria Bello, Gregg Henry, Chris Christofferson and others.
The soundtrack was written by Chris Borden and includes many songs of various genres such as rock, blues and jazz. The musical accompaniment perfectly emphasizes the mood of the film and creates an atmosphere of noir.
The visual style is made in light dark colors, which creates a feeling of a dirty and dangerous world. Director Brian Helgeland used a lot of rough, harsh footage that highlights the brutality and violence present in the film.
Each character in the film has a unique identity and motives, and none of them is simply a villain. The main character, Porter, although a criminal element, evokes sympathy and support, as his motives are clear and logical. Other characters in the film also have their own interesting character traits and motifs, making them more realistic and convincing.
The film is shot in a pretty tough style, with a lot of violence and some scenes that can be unpleasant for some viewers. However, in my opinion, it adds realism to the film and highlights the characters.
One of the key features of the film is its atmosphere. Cinema creates a sense of a dirty and dangerous world of crime, where each character has his own motives and hidden plans. The film is also notable for its humor, which highlights the cruelty and absurdity of the situations Porter finds himself in.
In addition, it is worth noting that the film has several different versions. In the original version, which was released in 1999, the film was presented in film format. In 2006, a new version of the film was released called Payback: Straight Up - The Director's Cut. In this version, several scenes were restored that were removed from the original version, and the beginning of the film was also changed.
I like that the movie doesn’t try to be more than it is. This is just a good action movie that will entertain the viewer and not let him get bored. If you love this genre, this is a great choice to watch.
This picture tells about the hero of Mel Gibson, who embarks on the path of revenge after the insidious betrayal of his partner, who appropriated his share of the main character, and his own wife, in a fit of jealousy, who planted several bullets in the back of her once beloved husband.
He survived and wants his share of $70,000 back. In the course of the film, the main character reaches the very top of the criminal syndicate, leaving behind the lifeless bodies of an imaginary invincible criminal organization.
The visual component of the tape is distinguished by a cold blue palette that forms the feeling of modern noir, but the cheerful and cheerful soundtrack, overflowing with famous compositions of the 20th century (' It is the man's world', ' The thrill is gone' and many others), together with moderate humorous elements, form a light and windy criminal action movie.
It would seem that such incompatible parts would be difficult to combine together to get a final quality cinematic product. But for some unknown reason, they are absolutely applicable in this picture and look quite aesthetically together.
As a result, ' Payback' is a good representative of the genre of the action movie of the 90s, providing the viewer with the whole range of desired emotions from viewing.
Once upon a time, a mercenary by name (or nickname) Porter finds himself in an unpleasant position: during a robbery of the Chinese mafia, he is framed by an accomplice and his own wife, who shoots him in the back. However, Porter is not one of those who is ready to give up just like that: a little “lagging down”, he returns to the lineup and intends to return his share at any cost.
The film adaptation of Westlake's little-known novel turned out to be a little different than the original. I wouldn’t even compare them to each other: a novel is a common odyssey of a terrible mercenary, which is also stretched into 20-something books. The film is about a man who has nothing to lose but his money. In addition, as far as we know, there are two versions of the film in the world: ordinary and directing. I will talk about the latter in another review.
The first thing I want to praise the film for is the atmosphere. Working with color, various locations, dialogue and music conveyed the very noir that was famous in the films of the 40-60s. That includes heroes. It is rare that there are no positive characters at all. Neither the main character, nor the people with whom he contacts, nor enemies, nor friends. Even the lover of the hero seems to look sweet, but at the same time works as a prostitute. So you ask yourself, who do you care about? No one. But this does not mean that this is a puncture of the director or screenwriter, on the contrary, it is the main feature of the film. You don’t like the main character, but you follow his story with only one goal – will he get his money or not?
Separately, I want to praise Mel Gibson for the stunning incarnation of a mercenary without a name. Uncompromising, cunning, calculating, cruel – it would seem that Mel was created for such roles. Later, he will repeat a similar character in "Merry Holiday", but there will be a shadow of nobility. Not here. Most of all, the hero’s motive is not revenge, but money. Yes, he is ruthless to those who framed him, but for the sake of the lost amount, he will do much more than necessary. He'll get to the right people. He will not be stopped by small bandits, the Chinese mafia, or even those who are above the law.
It is worth noting that the initial (aka directorial, which illegally came out after 7 years) version was gloomy, but the producers decided that such a development of actions will not satisfy the viewer. Said, done. This version is characterized by lightness and dynamics of the narrative, humor and the voiceover of Gibson, which made his character “more alive” and bright. I won’t say it’s a bad thing, because the work was interesting and the noir was noir.
"The Payback" is a great action movie with a still charismatic Gibson and a strong plot. If you liked the movie, you should watch the director’s version – it’s a completely different movie. So different that even comparing them is useless.

Sometimes you should listen to your own instinct when it tells you to pass by. If you disobey, you will be paid back. No, not "Repayment" Brian Helgeland, but real, in the form of wasted time.
Action film is one of the most popular genres in the world, one of the most filmed in the film industry. Given this fact, it would be logical for directors to carefully think through all the nuances of their offspring in order to somehow stand out from the masses. But no-s! And now, and even seventeen years ago, there are always lovers of hacking. Not bypassed this sad fate and Helgeland. I have one big claim to his film, which is the script. And I just don’t know how the winner of the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, only a year later he makes such an unfinished film in this regard? But in order.
Porter, the main character of the film, was deceived by an accomplice and “killed” by his wife while misappropriating $130,000. But as often happens in such paintings, the hero is impenetrable. After five months, he returns and wants only one thing - to return his share (70 thousand dollars).
At the very beginning, the scene of murder and robbery can make a serious audience laugh. The deceiters only slightly wound Porter and, smiling victoriously, leave. Are they hoping for the good of fate? I don't know, but I doubt that's what important people do. This blunder is still forgivable, since without it there would be no further development of the plot, but there is a slight sense of hacking. Then begins the payment The hero of Mel Gibson with a lazy and careless look tries to get his money back and kills everyone who prevents him from doing it. And just as none of the opponents understand his motivation, I still struggle with puzzles trying to solve this problem. Porter insists on his 70,000 greens, or 70,000, as if they were earned by his own sweat and blood. But, have mercy, he robbed the Asians himself to get them. So why would he risk everything he has, and even the life of his supposedly beloved girlfriend, because of such a paltry amount (what everyone thinks she is), why wouldn’t he get himself somewhere else if it didn’t cost him anything to rob or kill? I may have missed an important point that explains it all, but the sense of sloppyness is heightened.
Yes, this is a weak, absolutely passable film, but for some reason it does not cause much negativity. If you close your eyes, you can laugh with moments. But I still do not find a single criterion by which the Payback can be singled out from hundreds of such militants and, especially, someone to advise. Mel Gibson, you say? Right, it is better for the hundredth time to review Braveheart.
“You’re probably cooking something he won’t like.” - "I'll kill him." - "He definitely won't like it." That's the humor. No bravado, no savoring or bragging. Gloomy Porter (perhaps Gibson’s strongest work since Lethal Weapon) tirelessly states that he will find and kill. But first, he'll get his due. Seventy grand. That's how much he's been thrown, and that's how much he wants to get back. The former accomplice, his roots or the Firm (the word “syndicate” is no longer an entrance), where Reznik paid his own debt with other people’s money, it does not matter. When you get out of the world, you get a little bit of Satan. But at the end of the day, it’s a matter of principle: when you’re shot, you have to clarify a few things in return; when you’re scrapped, it’s a good reason to open your credit history to your opponents. Unless, of course, you're a man of principle. And Porter, he is; and bad debts are waiting to be asked by the highest account.
“Payback” is an adaptation of the first novel of the series about bank robber Parker, the legend of American pulp fiction Donald Westlake, better known (or, in his case, unknown) under numerous pseudonyms. The author’s unbending desire for anonymity was mystically transmitted to his books. They are shot with enviable regularity, but in most cases the original can be recognized only by the line of the initial titles. Thus, a complete reworking of the plot, a change in the title and a change in the name of the protagonist (nothing to trifle!) for the work of Westlake is a thing of life, it has happened and worse. My uncle could not write a cinematic story, but he could create a bright character and a convincing enough motivation, for which he was loved by reading America. And also writing and filming.
“This is a man’s world...” – James Brown And indeed, the film turned out to be extremely masculine. The creators of “Payback” interestingly approached the source material: taking almost untouched the character of the Glavhero, they built a setting and action, starting already from it. Restrained and gloomy, but not without black irony fatalist Porter, like a businesslike collector, seems to offer the viewer his own perception of life. Almost faded colors are given in a cold-blue filter, and after the colors, the expressiveness of the narrative is supposedly muted, where the presentation gravitates to emotional neutrality. Violent phrases and witty scenes on this background look especially cool.
In the absence of a pronounced antagonist (Reznik rather has the function of a trigger), the tape is distinguished by a reverent attitude to secondary characters, none of which can be called positive even with a stretch. From a prostitute who prefers black skin and a whip (the chic role of Lucy Liu) and a small taxi driver in a ridiculous checkered suit, to having very modest timekeeping of a mafia cleaner or a courier studded with rings - each character is discharged and executed with special care; each one will almost certainly be remembered by the viewer; each one desperately asserts the atmosphere of the male, male, male world.
The integrity and stylistic consistency here are especially surprising due to the discord on the set. At some point, Helgeland, unable to withstand the studio yoke, safely left the director's chair. Exactly safely: after n years, he will release his own version - without the voiceover text and blue tones, but with unhealthy violence and with a woman at the head of a criminal syndicate. Paradoxically, the picture owes its artistic harmony to an unknown producer (and, according to rumors, a very specific decorator), who had to reshoot up to a third of the material. The chances that in such circumstances the “Payback” will get out of the world were minimal. But, probably inspired by her hero, through Westlake’s sprayed (sometimes tedious) prose and destructive filming frenzy, she still managed to break through to the viewer, to eventually become a stylish and hard tape that you want to watch again, again and again.
The noble robber Porter after the extraction of the next jackpot is eliminated by accomplices - a jealous wife and a sadistic partner. Hardly recovering from a double bullet wound, Porter decides to return his share and punish the lawless. It’s not easy to believe, but Porter starts in a steep showdown because of some paltry 70 thousand dollars – “average teacher salary” (in comparison with the old film-original “Again”, 1967, here the amount of gangster “fee” is even reduced by a third). Moving to the intended goal through heaps of corpses, Porter acquires in mafia circles the fame of a madman who went crazy because of ridiculous money.
However, such an insignificant motivation intrigued the mass American viewer no less than, for example, a billion dollar jackpot, which was mined by the heroes of “Trap”, which was released simultaneously with “Payment”. The picture, stylized as a “black film”, became a remake of the classic action movie John Boorman. For screenwriter Brian Helgeland, who debuted in directing, the $80 million fee can be called a super success. Known after the Oscar for the script of “Secrets of Los Angeles”, Helgeland successfully changed the profession of a writer to a director. For comparison: “Secrets of Los Angeles” collected at the national box office 20 million less.
And at the same time, for Gibson, accustomed to regularly cross the threshold of a hundred million, such a box office looks more like a failure. But now, like his character Porter, who learned that his life is worth 70 grand, Gibson learned what it means to change the image of “just a good guy” to “bad good.” But with all his efforts to “bad” his lone gangster without a name, address and credit card can not but cause sympathy, because it makes you remember the archaic truth that moral compensation for wounded vanity for real men has no price expression. Although Buddhists would only laugh at such a deep idea.
Jack Reacher, John Wick, Porter... you can continue indefinitely... Such one-dimensional characters appear in Hollywood with enviable regularity. The only difference between each other is (required!) first-class Hollywood macho, who try on these characters and a brief backstory of the plot. Brutality, charisma, daring humor and pathos - all with them always with themselves.
This time, the unshakable hero of the criminal streets is Mel Gibson. Well, let’s see what happened!
A gray-dark-blue tone, a glass of strong alcohol and a bullet thrown at it all covered in blood. That's how we start. The first few minutes on the subconscious took shape in reference to old-school memories of the early nineties and eighties. But, as it turns out, this is not the case. Not at all. Expectations of the audience, anticipated by a real thriller or a strong action movie starring Mel Gibson, were somewhat inverted. "Payback" - a real comedy with a magnificent criminal overtones and in an appetizing action cut. But the most beautiful thing about all this is that both humor and action are at an unattainable height of splendor!
It's just that Porter won't be jealous. Thief, swindler, murderer, almost reclined after cutting 130 pieces thanks to his faithful, after 5 months of recovery of health goes back to the big city. But it's not all that rosy. The wife, drugged with cocaine, dies of an overdose, there is no money, and the thirst for revenge, which has been raging in him for 5 months, requires an exit. And, instead of becoming an ordinary caring commoner and steadily receiving his salary, Porter again chooses the path of a notorious scoundrel, eager to get his money back. And the point is not even that the wife is already dead, that he almost was there, but ... the whole thing in principle! My 70 grand, so I should have it! That's how old Mel decided, and despite all the power of the illegal guys, he is single-handedly following his greens. Nothing less than a matter of principle!
A few important parts of the film:
A - First-class humor. He's here everywhere. Somewhere bold, somewhere black jokes with their originality often overshadow the eyes. Almost everyone jokes, but the main prankster is undoubtedly a star Australian, who so suits, long capes, unbuttoned shirts and leather jackets.
B is an adjunct. A lot of unpleasant, but terrible scenes. More than once the hero of Gibson in blood, a lot of bullets will be fired and plenty of explosions.
B is the intelligence of the plot. Payback is not just a computer shooter in the image of a film, where the main character destroys everything in a row. Porter will do a lot of tricks, what with petty criminals, what with the police, what with the mafia bosses, before he achieves his goal.
G - Gibson Mel. He's as gorgeous as ever. These are his images. Gibson is not a guy like Schwarzenegger, who ravages entire islands and jungles. Gibson is different. Only one or two guns (preferably one or two revolvers), a new suit, smooth posture and an expensive watch. More for confidence he does not need, charisma is always with him.
Locations in the film flow from one to another slowly and unobtrusively. Virtually no dynamics, except for beatings and shots. But this tranquility is calibrated and perfectly accurate for Gibson’s hero, Porter, and his adventures. The film is also characterized by simplicity. Dialogues are not complicated, no clever “Nolan” moves, everything is extremely clear and clear, like “God’s dew”. But simplicity is not so elementary as not to fall in love with this film.
The cast, with the exception of Gibson, is not stellar, but there are familiar faces, such as a lover of the police badge Bill Duke (" Predator), Jack Conley ("Fast and Furious 4), an amazing pity girl of difficult behavior and a blow Lucy Liu ("Slevin's Lucky Number), and, of course, the main boss of any American more or less presentable mafia - Christofson (#34); Such charismatic guys should look at at least once.
There are sometimes far-fetched details and punctures of the main character, but after watching a quarter of the film, you know, he, Porter, is allowed to allow them. Dirty streets whether Chicago or New York is a great place to shoot the Australian genius of the movie screen, a real Maverick, a man with a “brave heart” and a seducer of women’s hearts, all without exception hungry for male power and animal actions.
It’s a shame that such a talented actor in his early 60s is forced to revive his career by clinging to Barney Ross’s Expendables. Just a few incorrect statements almost put an end to him, Mel Gibson. But the viewer will not be deceived and love for you, as well as respect will not fade for a long time, and you, Mel, we will wait as long as you see fit.
Come back soon, Mel!
“There’s no good guy anymore,” the movie’s tagline reads. Don't believe me. There's no greater sweetness here than Porter. Who's trending right now? Superheroes, I don't know who thinks they are? Losers who suddenly become the saviors of the Earth and even the entire universe? Neurotic? Old people who have long had time to rest and bask in the sun? The world of cinema has become small, and rarely where now you see a simple guy who is not alien to cynicism and an incomprehensible desire to risk his life for 70,000 green crisp bills.
The composition is simple: the antihero thrown by his accomplices wanders around New York with an unhealthy desire to return money, along the way getting into trouble. And they have no habit of lingering, because New York is rich in all sorts of nefarious personalities in Porter’s eyes. Therefore, without ingenuity, the ability to properly poke on the kidneys, sharp words, and, of course, without Magnum, you will not get far here.
“The payback” is a modernized noir, from which comes: the complete absence of purely positive heroes, women are completely fatal (more precisely - sadomasochists, prostitutes, drug addicts), jazz compositions prevail in the soundtrack. Except they didn't bring hopelessness. It should be sought in the director's version, which could be the original, do not interfere with the producers with their eternal fear of repayment. Immediately, it is initially clear that without a happy ending will not do – but do not worry about deliberate predictability. Porter travels by train through obstacles - and this amazing armor-piercing can not but cause a positive response. Even a couple of broken toes are not a hindrance to this.
What is especially beautiful in the case of “Payment” is that two works were made of one material completely in the spirit. Who is interested in a light and to some extent a fervent action movie with noir shades - watches the rolling version, and who is in the gut of severe despair - admires the director's version. In any case, it is not superfluous to admire Mel Gibson.
Porter is one of those robbers who is extremely dangerous and short-sighted to joke with. Largely framed by his wife and partner, Porter decides to take revenge and his revenge will be cruel. No one leaves without getting paid.
In Mel Gibson’s career, Payback became one of the most scandalous. Creative disagreements with the director and one of the screenwriters of the film Brian Helgeland led to a delay in the release of the film, later part of the material was reshooted, and in 2006 the director’s version appeared, even more dark and bloody. However, in spite of everything, "Payback", which is a very free adaptation of the novel by Donald Westlake, turned out to be a very interesting and not lost its charm and still a picture, which is a vivid example of neonoir. The gloomy picture of the operator Erickson Cora, an eventful plot that combines bright action and somewhat unusual humor in such a film (in the theatrical version, of course) and an abundance of brutal heroes made Payback a must-see for all connoisseurs of the genre. Payback is one of those revenge stories in which the viewer sympathizes with the ambiguous hero, because he is a hundred times right, but the path to rightness for him is not often covered with gold.
A huge plus of the film was the cast, which included, in addition to organically fit into the role of Porter Mel Gibson, Gregg Henry as Val Reznick, Lucy Liu, brilliantly played the role of Pearl, Maria Bello, Deborah Cara Unger. However, in this film, even the second and third-rate characters turned out to be colorful and interesting.
The soundtrack in the film in the theatrical version gives the film lightness, combining elements of suspense and powerful discharge, but overall perfectly fits into the structure of the picture.
I highly recommend this great film to all fans of quality action movies, thrillers and crime dramas and, I assure you, this film will not disappoint at all.
10 out of 10
What can unite an Oscar-winning screenwriter and an Oscar-winning decorator? It turns out that they can be united by joint work in the ... directorial field! Thus, Brian Helgeland ("Oscar" for the best adapted script for the film "Secrets of Los Angeles") and John Mir ("Oscar" for the best scenery for the films "Chicago" and "Memoirs of a geisha", although it happened already in 2003 and 2006, respectively) decided to work on the criminal combat committee Not to mention that one has changed the other.
The film decently “lit up” at the box office, which can be explained by the peculiar approach of the directors to the production, as well as the odiousness of the main character. The originality of the production was that Helgeland and The world created an interpretation "Pulp Fiction", but without the use of strong words and finely written dialogues, here everything was built on the monologue of the main character, but the world described that in "Payment", which in "Pulpal Fiction" refers to a narrow circle of people who circumvent the law, even more like respecting it /br>.
The odious character by the surname Porter was magnificently played by Mel Gibson. In fact, this Porter was the first character whose criminal tendencies were treated not as negativity, but rather as a positive plan. Driven by revenge, Porter just wanted to get his money back, he has his own code of honor and murder - this is only the delights of the notorious code, here this is not the main thing, and most importantly - to return their own, and without proving something to someone. He feels deceived, as it is customary to say “abandoned”, why his inner “I” protested and, guided by the instincts of the dealer, he goes on his way to his money. Unexpectedly? That's the sweetness of this painting.
No less interesting characters appear around the Porter . Let’s start with a Chinese prostitute performed by Lucy Liu. This actress in several fragments of the tape managed to make a great image, she looked exquisite and sexy in her clothes, although her work is perverse desires, but one scene when Porter beats her former accomplice, and not a frightened prostitute-mistress adds to him, which, apparently, liberates his secret lust. In her small role, she was able to arouse hatred and righteous anger Porter his ex-wife (on the film, and in the world actress Deborah Kara Unger), which also testifies to a good game. Maria Bello looked generally like a bright spot against the background of all the criminal elements shown in Payback. Let her heroine is also a prostitute named Rosie, but the best part of Porter is simply not to be found.
After finishing with female personalities, you can move to male ones. Here is the palm of the primacy of Gregg Henry. A disgusting scoundrel, a sadist and a pervert, a traitor and a miser — and all these qualities of the Resnik we discover gradually, which also affects perception, and resentment accumulates and the question arises in the mind: “How could Porter contact this ... moral freak?”. Although both Porter and Cavil are criminals, our attitude towards the former is simply incomparable to the latter, which is why Porter becomes a hero! Further, there are corrupt policemen who themselves want to grab a solid jackpot (Bill Duke and Jack Conley), a mediator, who will also not be hurt by money, and he is ready to "leak" everyone, a kind of cowardly bum performed by David Pamer (in general, this actor played above all praise). Over time, James Coburn and Chris Christofferson will appear as masters of the criminal world, self-confident cattle, handing millions of underground money, mired in all serious. In general, there is an interesting point with Chris Christofferson: his character is called Bronson and he really remotely resembles the glorious Charles Bronson, it seems that only under him and wrote this character.
In general, with Payment You will be able to get acquainted with the underground world, merciless and cruel, you will be able to see the characteristic characters of this world, learn how authority is earned and how careful you need to be not to get hit in the back. Strongly played and filmed crime film. I recommend you to watch.
Another adaptation of the books by Richard Stark, under whose name Donald Westlake hides. Many directors have made films based on stories about professional thief Parker. And each has its own hero, who is called differently, but not Parker.
In this picture, it's Porter. And Mel Gibson plays him. He played brilliantly! Looking away, he doesn't care what's going on around him. Everything except what is directly related to him. For example, if someone wants to kill him. Then there is an immediate response. And someone will die.
The other actors did their best, too. They were able to breathe full lives into their characters. Carter with a mentor tone and a voice like pebbles that roll in the rain down the drainpipe. Two corrupt cops who gamble, have big debts and dream of buying a big yacht. Val Reznick, a sadistic pervert who, thanks to these merits, is a member of the Syndicate. Fayfarks, Stegman, Pearl, the damn delivery guy. All characters have an individual touch. None of these are morally positive. In this dark world, everyone understands how things work. And he's trying to rip off a bigger piece. Sometimes teeth break. And there may not be any money for the false ones.
The music is also touching. Initial chords create rhythm. Blues classic compositions resemble the crime thriller Blood for Blood. And these melodies organically fit into the environment.
Maybe the director quarreled with the producers and left the project. In the end, there are two films "Repayment". And they're both good. The main thing is that the viewer can enjoy them endlessly.
Hub-Hub-Hub-Hub.
Famous director Guy Ritchie in several of his films used an interesting feature, he took some object, such as a diamond in “Big jackpot” or a picture in “Rock and Roller”, and built around this subject intrigue, made a huge number of characters run, shoot, etc. Anyway, Richie mastered this chip. But what if you take not the subject, but a character like Porter from Payback and twist the action around it so that everyone wants to take Porter away, so that everyone is afraid of him, and most importantly, that it all got confused.
All the action revolves around Porter. He was betrayed, he was shot, he was on the verge of death, but returned to take revenge. Never before has revenge been so elegant, on the one hand absolutely calm, on the other horribly thought out. No one was happy when Porter came back, all they wanted was to keep him from coming back. There's going to be a showdown, arrogant cops and petty biscuits, and everyone's going to be trying to get Porter out, but Porter isn't as easy as it looks. He just asked to return his share, he did not want to kill anyone, but they did not understand him, and now they will have to take revenge.
From the point of view of the plot, Payback does not give anything special, but it is another action movie about revenge. But there is something in it that cannot be avoided. A well-written script, put each character in its place, then not badly twisted intrigue, and most importantly - this is the level at which the film is held, he does not let go for a minute, but on the contrary, more and more delays.
“Payback” is a masterfully staged action movie, an unforgettable spectacle, excellent, prescribed intrigue, unique art of display, and excellent acting. In a word, an excellent action movie, we can say one of the last representatives of this genre, because few people currently achieve such style and coverage of the narrative.
