新威龙杀阵

It is original versus remake time! Rowdy Herrington’s ROAD HOUSE is a Patrick Swayze vehicle hot on the heels of his runaway popularity generated from Emile Ardolino’s DIRTY DANCING (1987). Underperformed in the box office front and panned by critics, the film was disgraced by 4 Razzie nominations: Worst Picture, Worst Actor, Worst Screenplay and Worst Supporting Actor (for Gazzara). However, in process of time, the film reaps a cult following largely due to its modern-day Western analogue and hyper-masculine camp (rowdy, full-out bar brawls, a topless, tabletop dance exploitation, and a few fiery explosions, that should more than suffice for the targeted audience), not to mention it has a prime-time Swayze flexing his muscles with gentlemanlike tenderness (a necessarily steamy roll in the hay to allure members of the fairer sex) and lethal aggression in equal measure (if you can ignore his dated mullet coiffure, that is).Swayze plays James Dalton, a professional bouncer haunted by a violent past crime, who is recruited to superintend the security of a roadside bar named“The Double Deuce”in Missouri, where he constantly clashes with the local crime lord Brad Wesley (Gazzara), who has been terrorizing the town to line his own pockets. The tension isn’t alleviated by the fact that Dalton is also attracted to Dr. Elizabeth Clay (a tonic and lusciously tanned Lynch), whom Wesley has been carrying torch for. Things will soon get personal, jolted by a poignant loss, Dalton must overcome his own inner demon while weeding out grasping vermin like Wesley and his henchmen, almost singlehandedly, and eventually brings harmony back to the townsfolk. It is diverting to watch a cool-as-a-cucumber Dalton work in harness, instructing his philosophical work ethics to his subordinates, keeping an alert eye on the hustle and bustle, and teaching a lesson or two to those rough-housing, crapulous hayseeds wanting in discipline and basic manners. And the house band on the premises, headed by singer and guitarist Cody (Healy, the heart and soul of the hit-making Canadian trio“the Jeff Healy Band”, is blind, but look how fantastic he thrums the electronic guitar on his lap!), contributes a rowdy yet spirited miscellany of live performances that aren’t merely honky-tonk.Sam Elliott also creates one of his signature screen characters as Dolton’s mentor Wade Garrett, the coolth that brings a whiff of casual confidence to a fraught situation. With his charming demeanor, habitually canted head and the way he binds his long curly crowning glory before duking it out, Wade is far overqualified for what his role is conventionally designated. In comparison, Gazzara’s Wesley lacks both bone-chilling bite and personal tics to rise above his superficial villainies (among the 4 Golden Raspberry nominations, his is the most plausible). Liman’s remake materializes 35 years later, transposing the location to the Florida Keys and making a meal of the cerulean ocean splendor (the actual shooting location is in the Dominican Republic), accessorized with a major explosion of a catamaran yacht and chilling out on a shallowly submerged islet. Also Dalton (Gyllenhaal) is upgraded to a disgraced former UFC middleweight fighter while the road house becomes the lone holdout against a land-grabbing crime boss Ben Brandt (Magnussen), with members of racial minority groups populating the majority of the supporting cast。

Portuguese actress Melchior steps into Lynch’s shoes as Dalton’s love interest, but is incapable of perking up the role’s vapidity. (Incidentally, fans of Post Malone will be disappointed because the importance and the screen time of his character is highly exaggerated). As per one’s preconception, the remake is a revamp on steroids, borne out by Gyllenhaal’s jacked-up physique, whose career path takes an unexpected turn in recent years, as apparently he chooses to label himself as a veritable action star for the male-leaning demographic. Here, his trademark broad smile and sloe-eyed innocuousness is still present, but only as a persona to hide Dalton’s anger issue, whose eruption would turn him into a merciless killing machine, not so unlike his most formidable rival Knox (acting debut for real-life UFC champion and megastar McGregor), a sheer brute who has a proclivity for streaking. Apart from ditching Wade’s character, the remake’s script is a pedestrian affair, the modern-day Western citation becomes a through-line between Dalton and Charlie (Lanier), a gutsy teenage girl he befriends with. The innovation of shooting the fighting scenes with state-of-the-state technology and stunt work turns out to be a double-edged sword, the sense of visceral impact and damage caused by each and every heavy strike is deadened by the ultra-rapid cutting and the action’s gamified aesthetics. The final throw-down between Dalton and Knox is obviously an arduous physical endeavor for both, but the effect doesn’t really packs a punch, cannot hold a candle to Teague (as Wesley’s most homicidal and kung-fu savvy heavy) and Swayze’s brutalizing slugfest in the original. Taking up the gauntlet to challenge Swayze’s iconic role, Gyllenhaal, barring bulking up for both personal gain and career request, aims to channel the monstrosity that is latent in Dalton and under-tapped in Herrington’s film, which the film only manages to extract in a few glimpses. If anything, it is Magnussen who possesses more gusto and showcases more versatility. Whether his Brandit is slimy, supercilious, flustered or flat irate, this is a villain who has relatable characteristics that could hook audience, adding a grace note to another passable remake whose own existence is questionable in the first place.referential entries: Kathryn Bigelow’s POINT BLANK (1991, 6.3/10); Doug Liman’s FAIR GAME (2010, 6.8/10), EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014, 7.3/10).

2024美国动作片《新威龙杀阵》，翻拍自1989同名电影，豆瓣评分6.3，IMDb评分6.3。

1989版不算好看，没想到2024版还不如1989版呢，平淡乏味，过度剧情化，剧情戏比重过大，娱乐性很多，动作戏一塌糊涂，差劲的翻拍。

这个IP动作戏肯定是卖点，2024版噱头是MMA综合格斗（1989版是中国功夫），但是却完全没展现出MMA的激烈。

杰克·吉伦哈尔的肌肉确实漂亮，但是没有MMA动作功底。

反派杀手虽然是真正的MMA拳手，但是和演员演戏，只能用用花架子，只能靠后期剪辑来模仿犀利感。

全片只有片尾的海上游艇戏和肉搏格斗戏两段动作戏，在此之前几乎都是剧情戏，穿插的动作戏轻描淡写，像挠痒痒。

影片一开始就对男主背景的描述藏着掖着，故弄玄虚，观众以为男主会展现出多么厉害的身手，但却令人大失所望，事实证明杰克·吉伦哈尔空有一身肌肉，但却不是动作明星这块料。

1989版展现了为害百姓、恶霸一方，男主人不犯我、我不犯人、被逼无奈、不得不出手之感，而2024版这种被迫感很弱，男主被逼出手的感觉很弱，也就是男主动机不足。

1989版的男主不仅是酒吧保镖，还是酒吧运营，是多面手，最终将酒吧打造得井井有条、生意红火。

而2024版男主只是打手，没有全权参与运营，酒吧生意没好到哪里去，来了只是添乱。

1989版的驻场歌手是男主好友，2024版没有这个角色，歌手不断变换。

1989版展现歌手在笼中唱歌，显然是为了体现混乱，后来笼子没了，酒吧秩序井然。

而2024版始终都有笼子，似乎没理解1989版笼子设定的含义。

由于反派杀手是现实中的著名UFC拳王，所以导演很给拳王留面子，没有让男主痛扁拳王，拳王最后死得不惨，如此设计虽然保存了拳王脸面，但是却让片尾动作戏不疼不痒，娱乐性大打折扣。

片尾结局，1989版有情人终成眷属，2024版男主自己走了，这让2024版故事风格像极了西部牛仔片。

影片台词中也多次提到男主做法很想西部牛仔片。

1989版爱情戏很重，还有XING爱戏，而2024版则更像是大男主独行侠电影，爱情戏只是点缀，最终也没让有情人成眷属。

1989版没怎么提Road House这个片名，2024版可能是担心观众搞不懂片名和剧情的关系，多次提到了Road House是酒吧名字。

1，《威龙杀阵》，这中文译名，像是【清朝人】取的。

还不如简单明了的叫《外来保镖》。

2，总体合格但没什么新意。

大逻辑上脱离现实。

3，男主的出场很棒！

反派肌肉男的出场更是妖娆！

4，男主和女医生约会的地方太美了！

5，但是女医生和男主的爱情线就莫名其妙。

6，开书店的小女孩，挺讨人喜欢的。

7，酒吧和小船的名字取得很有喜感。

8，同样有喜感的，还有反派阵营里的【有问必答】小哥。

9，【杰克.吉伦哈尔】一身肌肉，还是相当震撼的。

这次他的表演，也是另一种风格。

看新闻推送，反派肌肉男是专业拳击运动员。

电影中两人对打，看不出明显的优劣。

为【老吉】点赞。

10，最主打的动作戏，比较写实，但也没达到傲视同行的高度。

片尾终极对战，男主和反派都光着膀子，力量感十足，看着都痛。

此处联想到【吴彦祖】和【王千源】在《除暴》中的【澡堂肉搏】。

11，最后，反派肌肉男这样都不死，也是被编导【独宠】啊。

建议给他出部单人前传电影好了。

真是绝了，这电影都能碰见拳师，这电影又不火，又是男人戏，拳师是有什么大病吗？？

真是蟑螂遍地走，为防她删帖，专门这个影评备份得了，😄我尼玛人傻了，我知道n拳师脑子大多有问题，没想到这么有问题。

看电影前看到这篇影评，我想吐槽的是有什么大病吧，啥都能扯到父权，尼玛要不要给n拳师单独开个学院好了，天天从麦当劳喷到好莱坞好了。

然后，我看了这部电影，人傻了，这写的是个x啊，作者真的看了这个电影？？？？

首先，男主的女友是医生，关女老板p事啊，店长从头到尾，镜头加起来不超过十个。

男主还跟医生女友在个挺漂亮的暗礁上来了一发，这叫拒绝性？

女医生全靠自救？？

自救就是指从游艇出来转身上了黑老大的船继续被当人质？？

暴力没解决问题？？

黑老大的钱怎么没的，是谁给的小女孩父女俩留的钱？？

灰溜溜滚了？？

他徒弟和一堆人目送他离开叫灰溜溜滚了？？

n拳师最搞笑的，都不说不提阶级和资本光搁这搞性别对立，最搞笑的就是把人分门别类，分成男人女人然后疯狂打压，哈？

男的x了你全加？

不对，没男的你怎么出生的？？

真尼玛服了，扯一堆看起来高大上的理论，实际就是纳c那一套玩意。

借用历史上煽动民族主义的统治者下场，这些煽动对立妄图牟利的，最后引火上身，多少要说一句，好s。

咪蒙在地下看着你们呢。

杰克·吉伦哈尔看着蛮颓废的，不过8块腹肌看着挺结实， 康纳·麦格雷戈作为职业格斗选手在本片的出现很搞笑，很有战斗力却很弱智的角色。

《新威龙杀阵》不同于1989年版的《威龙杀阵》，毕竟老版经典，新版主角是道尔顿由杰克·吉伦哈尔（Jake Gyllenhaal）所饰演，其次，就是康纳·麦格雷戈（Conor McGregor）饰演的诺克斯，与道尔顿有许多对手戏；

道尔顿 片中围绕道尔顿因拳击退役，后来到佛罗里达礁岛群一家满是牛鬼蛇神的酒吧担任保镖工作，但他很快发现，一切并非都像这个热带天堂一样美好。

诺克斯 而诺克斯与道尔顿之间都是拳拳到肉，老吉还是那个老吉，不论是拳击还是干架也是实打实的，简而言之，还是没有老版中的达登的饰演者帕特里克·斯威兹 （Patrick Swayze）【已逝之人】那么出彩，新旧有所区别，不过经典永远不会过时。

泡泡先宣传，杰克吉伦哈尔上去承重，真真的实景拍摄，康纳业务业开拓新疆土了，对了，这不是杰克第一次和ufc选手合作！

《天龙特攻队》和狼人杰克逊也一块合作过！

杰克也是很敬业，觉得看完《救护车》还没多久呢，新片，还是动作片就提上日程了，而且还是在看ufc发布会的时候看到的，属实是梦幻联动了。

剧情简单，暴力。

其实挺好的打片。

只不过影片20分钟出现的【圣母表】医生在不问清事件起因缘由的情况下，就指责男主是在【以暴力取乐】的妄加评论行为真的是让我恶心。

更让我恶心的是：这个【圣母表】医生本身却是自己黑警父亲挣毒贩的钱把她养大的。

自己靠黑警父亲吸血欺压当地居民抚养，还要把自己塑造成单亲家庭的可怜人。

吃黑奶长大却成了圣母，登场首秀就不分青红皂白，一刀切指责陌生人男主的【见义勇为】是在【以暴力取乐】。

这真的太有美西方的精髓了，这就是西方的思维逻辑。

如果换做一个中医姑娘，思维逻辑应该是：看到一个陌生高手在打伤数倍于自己的对手后，还能以胜利者的心态，来放低姿态送伤者去就医。

本身就是【划干戈为玉帛】的大侠风范。

聪明点的女孩应该认为是“这位陌生高手把他们打伤，又把他们送来就医，说明高手不是一个单纯崇尚暴力的人”，自己是本地医生，结合本地情况，大概能猜出个一二。

因为有主动搭讪的剧情，说明女医生是个社牛，为了推动剧情和戏份的前进，会在好奇心下主动向陌生高手询问具体原委，并提醒他小心应对和预祝他在这里生活愉快，互留联系方式。

中西方的思维逻辑和文化的差异，一高一低立判高下。

片尾的彩蛋太逗了，这二货简直是金刚转世，千万别错过。

相较于好似孙悟空虐小妖一般的“伸冤人3”来说，显然“新威龙杀阵”的娱乐性要强的多，男主角很帅气，打斗很过瘾，其实这就是一部带有复古风格的娱乐片，没必要去纠结什么故事合理性和俗套情节，爽就对了，一部除暴安良的电影，不管你的剧情多么牛B，风景多么优美，人物多么帅气，无论如何，你都应该要给主角找一个势均力敌的对手。
