"The Seven Deadly Sins" is such a suspense thriller movie, and the pattern of coexistence of praise and criticism was expected before the movie was released, but the praise was actually higher than the criticism, and the advantages were very obvious, which made people very surprised.

What's even more surprising is that in such a movie, the performances of the leading actors have actually become a highlight, which is indeed an atypical work. Thriller and suspense movies are like horror movies, people will comment on whether the movie is scary, whether it is exciting, whether it is thrilling, but they rarely discuss whether the actors' performances are wonderful or not. This can be seen from the history of nominations for the Oscars and Golden Globes, even comedians can get nominations, but horror and suspense movies are very difficult to even nominates, and they are almost completely ignored. The encounters of Alfred Hitchcock, a master of a generation, are the best example of this.

But this time, the actors of "Seven Deadly Sins" have also become the center of attention, not only the showdown between Hugo and Brad, but also Morgan's old ways.

"Empire" magazine specifically mentioned the actors' performances in the film review, "The acting duel of the three actors is full of infinite tension, which makes people's blood boil, Freeman's calm and sophisticated way and Lancaster's evil elegance indirectly collide, so that the dark and depressing of the movie is full of rich colors, the only regret is that in the wonderful performances of the two actors, Pete dragged his feet, and he had almost no room to play in the whole movie, reduced to mediocrity, and the outbreak of the last scene was also because of Pete's stiffness and jerky, The superficial performance cuts the excitement. ”

"Empire" magazine gave it a rating of 78 points, and the review said that the lack of detail in the story and Brad's shortcomings did not make the final score of the film in the 80th grade.

"What is certain is that this is the best performance of the careers of the three actors, without a doubt." "Variety" magazine also gave its own review of the performance, and this professional film review is also the best recognition of a thriller and suspense movie like "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Freeman's performance is mixed in calm, the heaviness between his eyes and the struggle looms between the light and shadow created by Fincher, Freeman gives this character an ordinary but deep soul, the only pity is that this character lacks a key point of explosion compared to 'The Shawshank Redemption', which also makes people ignore his performance." But in fact, it's Freeman's best character to date.

Pete works very hard, hard and dedicated, but unfortunately, for most of the movie he is just a character symbol, taking on a piece of the puzzle of the story, but he can't give the story a soul. The role leaves enough room for Pete to perform, but the excellent performance of the two rival actors compresses this space, and Pete's performance is tied, after all, it only flows in the eyes, but does not enter the depths of the heart. Still, this is the best performance of Pete's career, and compared to the previous stiff and soulless performances, Pitt's hesitation, struggle, pain, and torment in the last scene are convincing enough.

Lancaster is a genius and while he's put on a lot of great performances so far, we're still amazed by this one. Lancaster's performance is sharp in calm, and the cunning and evil in his eyes shine brightly in the seemingly expressionless face, and people have not even had time to feel the traces of the performance before they have entered the world constructed by the characters. Lancaster's performance space is undoubtedly very small, but he makes the most of every minute and every second to convey the shock that goes deep into the soul.

Freeman sets the tone for the story, Pitt gives direction to the story, and Lancaster lights up the core of the story. There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece comparable to that of the Silence of the Lambs. ”

The seventy-eight points evaluation of "Variety" is consistent with "Empire", but it can obviously be seen that the comments have given corresponding affirmation to the performances of the three actors.

Among the many comments, the showdown between Brad and Hugo is also a point that must not be ignored, which is also one of the biggest highlights of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The Chicago Tribune's 70 points are not high, but their comment is amusing: "In front of Lancaster, Pitt is like an expressionless puppet, he is just performing at the mercy of Lancaster and Freeman." Of course, this is a very handsome puppet, but I don't want to lie in the same bed with him. Above. ”

Almost everyone who saw this comment either had a black line or couldn't help but laugh, and sure enough, it was in the typical "Chicago Tribune" style.

The Washington Post, which scored 75 points, said, "Just as everyone is putting Pitt on the level of Lancaster's rivals, the 'Seven Deadly Sins' are telling us that they are not at all on the same level." ”

"Sight & Hearing" magazine also praised Hugo's performance again, "The look in history in 'Schindler's List' is still unforgettable, and this time Lancaster has created a wonderful character comparable to Dr. Hannibal in 'The Seven Deadly Sins', the only regret is that the movie did not give Lancaster more room to play, but even so, he still relied on his talent and ability to control the rhythm of the whole movie, injecting a deep soul into this seemingly simple and crude work!" It may not be the best performance of Lancaster's career, but it can be called his most hearty performance so far, and it perfectly presents the delicateness, sharpness, depth and complexity of Lancaster's acting characteristics! ”

Although it is impossible for Martin Baum of the innovative artist agency to allow film critics to attack Brad indiscriminately, he will definitely use his network to make film reviews not too exaggerated, and it can be seen from the comments of "Variety" that they still gave Brad corresponding affirmation.

But the truth is that even the press and media, who hate Hugo the most, have a hard time opening their eyes and talking nonsense to defend Brad. The "Seven Deadly Sins" is like a stage without any cover-up, putting all the qiē on the table, and can only rely on hard power to confront, so the result has no room for refutation at all, and the winners and losers are clear at a glance.

"It only took one look for Lancaster to declare his irreplaceable sense of existence in the whole movie!" The New Yorker sums up all the performances in "The Seven Deadly Sins" with this sentence.

The "Cinema Handbook" from France even announced its own sense of existence with the sentence "Lancaster easily made Pitt a vase", and they mentioned the North American continent's attention to this acting showdown in their comments.

As male actors in their thirties, Lancaster and Pitt are undoubtedly one of the most watched stars in Hollywood at the moment, and every duel between them has touched the hearts of countless audiences. No one would deny Pete's charm, and the same is true in 'The Seven Deadly Sins', with his brilliant blonde hair, deep blue eyes, well-defined muscles, and sexy and lazy beard, almost every image is intoxicating.

But when it comes to matchups, Pitt has never been on the same level as Lancaster. Lancaster's acting talent is undeniable, and this time it's on full display. Different from Amon Goss's sharp and flamboyant sense of oppression, this time Lancaster's performance did not show any traces at all, a look, a smile and an expression, even if it was just a simple action of spreading his hands to show surrender, you could feel the performance that went deep into the soul, he almost single-handedly drove the rhythm of the whole movie, controlled all the performances, and that powerful performance aura determined the wonderful Cheng dù of the whole movie.

Lancaster's outstanding performance almost has the decisive power to determine the quality of a work, which is not only incomparable to Pitt, but even Freeman has become a supporting role for Lancaster.

With Lancaster's dominance, the showdown became a one-sided rage. Pete's handsome and charming appearance became the shackles that bound him, and all the performances only stayed in those blue eyes; And the elegant gentleman's performance in Lancaster made every picture a pleasure.

With just one look, Lancaster made Pete a vase. ”

As the "film manual" with the most special preferences, the most prominent personality, and the most determined position in the film industry, they often make earth-shattering choices to reward works that people have never heard of, and at the same time they are unwavering in their opinions, even stingy with sharp and sharp language to express their opinions. This time was no exception, and just one report sent Hugo and Brad to two extremes.

Originally, people thought that the duel between Hugo and Brad in the "Seven Deadly Sins" would be full of highlights, just like last year's "Night Visit to the Vampire", but the huge gap in the hard power of the two made this duel a one-sided rage, and Hugo easily broke Pete.

This kind of stark ending is boring and disappointing. But even so, no one can deny that Hugo's brilliance has made Brad look bleak.

There is no doubt that Hugo has once again proved his strength, which has once again continued the momentum since the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo's almost every work has injected soul into the character with his strong strength, and this ability has also become Hugo's characteristic that distinguishes him from Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, from "Schindler's List" to "Vulgar", and then to "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo's performances have amazed everyone again and again, which is really amazing!

The brilliance of the "Seven Deadly Sins" also makes people more full of expectations for the "Death Row Walk". As everyone knows, Hugo had some fluctuations during the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins", and then went deep into the role during the filming of "Death Row Walk", and now that "The Seven Deadly Sins" has been presented in front of him, the shocking performance is even considered to be enough to compare with the famous performance of Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs", so what about "Death Row Walk"? I can't wait!
