Carlos T Filme: Hitman: O Rei dos Assassinos Assistido: 1-12-24 Elenco: @jetli Eric Tsang, simon Yam, @gigileungwingkei Kwong Kim Yip, Paul Rapovski, Modelo: #artesmarciais #ação #máfia #policial Duração: 1h 45m Ano: 1998 Minha opinião: Existem tantas versões de Hitman de várias nacionalidades e tantos atores que interpretaram Hitman. Disfarce Perigoso (1991) com Chuck Norris, Rei dos Assassinos (1998) com Jet Li, Hitman (2007) com Timothy Olyphant, Entrevista com Hitman (2012) com Luke Goss, Agente 47 (2015) com Rupert Friend, Agent Jun (2020) com Kwon Sang-woo, Assassino por Acaso (2023) com Glen Powell. E em todos temos um assassino profissional, em alguns temos um super assassino sendo criado desde a infância. E neste temos Jet Li que vem antes dos Hitmans mais vistos. Neste filme é claro que é oriundo do cinema chinês tem muita porradaria ao contrario da essência que é muito tiros ao estilo John Wick. E temos aqui assassinos atrás do assassino do clã da yakuza e aquele que descobrir irá receber 100 milhões de dólares. Tendo como suspeito Nor (Tsang) um vigarista que tem sua filha advogada Kiki (Leung) com quem tem um relacionamento difícil, pois a filha não aceita o estilo de vida do pai. Temos Chan (Yam) policial que investiga e que na verdade ele é o assassino que todos estão atrás. Temos momentos do embate de Tall (Rapovski) com Fu (Li), onde usa de artimanhas para vencer. Dizer que este filme foge do estilo Hitman que conhecemos. Roteiro e enredo tem momentos que se tornam meio confusos. Mas com cenas de lutas com Jet ficam boas. Mas o enredo e roteiro são meios confusos. Vale apena assistir? Sim para quem gosta do estilo. Nota: 6 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Review: The only thing that kept me interested in this film was the chemistry between Jet Li and his newly found agent. Apart from that, there isn't that much action but the storyline is half decent. The witty script was funny in parts but Jet Li didn't really show that much emotion throughout the whole movie. He seemed to look a bit lost most of the time, which is why his sidekick played a big part in keeping this movie interesting. After a big crime lord is mysteriously killed, a big wager is put on the table to find the killer. Once the murderer is revealed, he joins forces with Li to take down the crime lords, who didn't have any intention in paying out the big reward for finding the killer of his grandfather. I was hoping for big action scenes with different hitmen, but I was quite disappointed with the direction that the director took the storyline. With all that aside, it's worth a watch just to see a different side to Li and some of the scenes are really funny. Average! Round-Up: With only one movie left in my Jet Li season, I can't wait to start collecting the old Kung Fu movies because I have enjoyed some of the action, which doesn't have the crazy flying in the air scenes. As for Jet Li, I'm definitely impressed with his martial arts skills but I'm not that impressed with the movies that he has made lately. I've watched a few interviews with Jet Li which shows that he is quite a funny man who doesn't take life that seriously, which you can see in some of his films, but he really need to start making some better movies. Anyway, I found this movie funny but not that great in the action department. I recommend this movie to people who are into their Jet Li movies about a down and out man who joins up with an agent to track down a murderer for a large amount of money. 4/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I actually really liked everything about this movie, the story, the fight scenes and the interactions between the different characters. Thumbs up from me! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Jet Li but the storyline and acting in this was pretty dire. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
