之前对这部电影抱着很大的期望，结果演出10分钟，我就已经把它归到烂片行列里了，漏洞百出，例如双胞胎姐妹同台出演那一幕，背景剪辑的就很粗糙，模糊不堪，让人一眼就能识破是后拼接的效果；还有在医院里多次出现的一个牌子上，写着发热门诊，另一端写着太平间，事实上医院早就取消了太平间这个地方，而发热门诊是近几年才设置的，所以从时间上来说，这两个事物本不应该同时出现在一个时空里；再有就是演员们开的汽车，车牌印的都是“天xxx”，而在观影过程中，有个出租车车顶广告却写着“汕头xxx”；而照顾萧蔷的护士小姐，带的帽子上有一道红线，就像军人的军衔一样那相当于护士的级别等级，而只有护士长才会有那道红杠，实际上护士长是不会天天晚上值病房夜班的，也许导演只是为了让那个帽子看起来好看才用的，却并未考虑到其实际意义。
       还有那些非专业演员的表演也不敢恭维，生硬机械地背着台词，没有一点感情，所以就更谈不上演技了。至于故事情节，松散不连贯，也没有主次、重点，想要制造些紧张气氛和悬念，却也让人能一眼就看到底了。在这里我要推荐下台湾一个编剧苏照彬，他的编剧导演能力，我是十分欣赏的，例如他拍过的《双瞳》《诡丝》，喜欢恐怖片的朋友可以搜来看看。这部电影唯一还值得认可的就算音乐吧，当然也只是延续恐怖片一贯的音乐风格而已。
      想要看这部电影，也是奔着萧蔷去的，只是那张42岁的脸庞，终无法被厚重的粉饼掩盖住，曾经台湾的第一美人，也抵不过岁月在脸上刻下的痕迹，渐显老态的容颜让人不禁有点小小的心酸。

故事编排虽有漏洞(如布罗曼一直帮沃尔顿冶炼金矿，岂不知金矿地址？再一点，挖金矿绝非沃尔顿一人能干得了，肯定雇有劳工，沃尔顿死后，布罗曼怎不从劳工口里获取金矿位置？)，但还过得去……但布罗曼死后，其漂亮的女儿克莱尔如何结局，影片似乎故意漏掉不提……
        安德鲁·沃尔顿第三次在超市偷啤酒被抓，父母只好将其与弟弟马克一起送到叔叔特伦特处度假期。叔叔住在沃尔顿岛，该岛是祖父查理·沃尔顿曾经经营的海岛，曾富甲一方，后遭海况失事而家境败落。但传言查理·沃尔顿曾在该岛埋藏巨宝。
         安德鲁与马克在岛上，邂逅了安德鲁的女同学克莱尔。原来克莱尔的父亲约翰·布罗曼花巨资将该岛买下，准备开发旅游项目。此前，特伦特还曾嗜赌而将该岛家族的豪宅输给了布罗曼。
         安德鲁不甘心家族曾经营的海岛沦落他人，决心找寻到祖父埋藏的宝藏……最终，安德鲁与马克在克莱尔的帮助下，成功找寻到宝藏——一待开发的金矿……但找到金矿的同时，安德鲁与马克也被居心不良的布罗曼尾随跟来……布罗曼道出实情：先前布罗曼帮查理·沃尔顿冶炼金矿石，但未收到查理·沃尔顿的回报，于是在海上施计谋杀了查理·沃尔顿……此时，布罗曼欲施毒手，安德鲁趁其不备扯住布罗曼一起坠入大海……特伦特及时赶到，救出安德鲁与马克……
       寻宝期间，安德鲁意外发现自己的身世之谜——叔叔特伦特竟是自己的亲身父亲……

回顾观影当场一句话感想：一块绝好的生鲜刺身被开水煮着吃了。＝食材的浪费～



"Alright, alright, alright", something you would not hear much in this LONG and WIDELY (XXL, wink wink) expected spinoff since Dallas (the character played by McConaughey) is quickly ditched in the begging of the movie (oops) , I have finally watched this XXL tonight. Yeah! (hard for just two seconds), and "it was all right", which was my very instant feedback right after coming out of the cinema.

Don't get me wrong, it is funny, occasionally, and I laughed, occasionally and perhaps some would say, "It's a striper movie, what do you expect?" Well, first of all, it's "Male Entertainer" to address the characters professionally, accurately and consistently with the movie. Secondly, as a matter of fact, it is very ironic that this movie turns out to be rather different from what is usually expected from it, sadly in a bad way - it would be FANTASTIC if it follows the typical pattern and pace of unveiling a drama/comedy (the genre of this movie), the cinematography included. - The furniture dream did not work out for Mike in real life that he decided to reunite with the old crew (not exactly) for their perhaps-last ride to the stripping endeavour, yet shit happens along the way, but they finally made it.

Yes, the story line is as simple as that, which i'm afraid is exactly what freaks out the screenwriter. "It can't be simple like that",he/she may think. Therefore, excessive nonsense of events and dialogues are added here and there (on the road, in the van, in the living room, you name it), which makes it less Channing (lean) but more Gabriel (fluffy), if you know what i mean. In this case, the genre of this movie is distorted unfortunately, from a should-be drama/comedy to a semi-documentary/road-film.

Yes, documentary indeed, as clearly found not only in the way of story telling, yet also and especially in cinematography (use a bloody cane if you could, cut between more camera angles, drum up the magic, would you?). Somehow actually, I'm not surprised, and it can make sense if you consider that a legacy from its predecessor, directed by Steven Soderbergh who is of course the Executive Producer of the fellow spinoff. HOWEVER (a big one), IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. As I couldn't help but share with my fellow viewer on the spot, "the movie feels like a fresh piece of great sashimi got boiled in water rather than served raw as righteously destined." In my two cents, a brilliant idea is shamefully not delivered to its full potential. Give it to Michael Bay, for cry out loud.

Educated by the screenplay books I've been reading, I'm lucky to come to realise it is essential to RESPECT the pattern and pace of each genre, if you are not genius enough like Quentin Tarantino to create your own, as they do make sense and work well. In this sense, I'd rather see the Magic Mike volume cheesily successful, than innovatively mediocure.

Well, to make ya all less disappointed, as said in my title of this review, the XXL was luckily saved by the last act/dance, not too bad.




To read my last review on FURY, which I'm more proud of, haha, here is the link - http://movie.douban.com/review/7161106/
   

    掏钱看国产悬疑片我是没有任何兴趣的，不过赚到了免费的票纸还是可以看看的。
    豆瓣上全城通缉的评分很低，不知道为啥子，我觉得其实还是可以的，毕竟猜到结局需要一点点时间，整个电影是可以看到国产悬疑剧的一些些进步的。
    对于国产悬疑片，吐槽逻辑需要些时间和精力，随处可见的bug，还是一大堆的。赵文卓演的那个超级大土豪的家，安保条件怎么可能那么差，分分钟就让别人进去了啊。还有方勤被哐当打死了，指纹你从哪里找得到的，你能验个伤在得出结论么。铜墙铁壁的监狱吉林土特产怎么跑出来的，你能拍一下么，真的，肯定特别吸引人，这样画面一转我会以为他变成土豆什么的蹦出来的。好吧。。我们言归正传
    虽然剧情逻辑bug有很多，但编剧也是努力的多线索出发，失踪，催眠，整容，谋杀，有些场景还真的有点惊悚的意思，只是有些可以很多地方伏笔埋得太明显，所以被人一下子戳穿。看美剧的时候得有一个小小的经验要不要和编剧们分享一下，通常在电影里面放一些特别专业的知识或者冷门的常识作为伏笔来埋，比较不容易被发现，而且显得特别高大上，那些发现了的人也会特别的得意。
    刘烨和赵文卓的演技真心是不错的，刘烨对于那种有点精分的感觉拿捏得不错，演技真心是可以点赞的。赵文卓在我心里一直都是儿时花木兰里的李亮的形象（是不是暴露年龄了），演出一个算是高智商的反派，感觉有些亮点。不过，赵文卓是真心年华易逝，真的是要转型走实力派了。秋瓷炫和古力娜扎我就不吐槽了。。。秋瓷炫是韩国人就不计较了，古力娜扎的妈妈一喊，我瞬间出戏。
     吉林土特产，你闹毛啊，你腹肌不在了就算了，你那微凸的肚子啊，哎呀。。。影响观剧心情啊。
