The Thriller Wild New Action so disturbed, he resuscitates a canceled genre

Person 2 is a series of PersonA little but good action film released in 2021, which takes the original and adds a high tension very crazy. It is a return to the days of action movies Gonzo as Crank And Pull themThe kind of film where it does not care about how silly things become as long as someone’s head is breathtaking.

The cancellation of Gonzo action movies

If you have never heard the term “Gonzo Action Movie” before, it makes sense. Hollywood stopped doing them after a first boom in the blood in style in the early 2000s.

This rebirth of Gonzo occurred in part because of success as the matrix and the Lord of the Rings. They had proven that there was a huge value to give the filmmakers of the authors and to let them do what they wanted, as they wanted, and this formula was tested on everyone and everything. Some of these filmmakers wanted to make excessive action films.

At the same time, the Internet had created a new framework of independent online communities and criticisms. The young voices with a sudden influence which were ready to watch and defend the types of Snobbery Old School films would have sneered.

This combination of events is the way in which this era found itself with the explosion led by Judd Apatow in the ultra-offensive and ultra-Funny comedy. This is how we obtained all kinds of strange and interesting science sciences and drama, because the directors obtained the support they needed to push the limits. This is also how we got Jason Statham.

Statham is now a familiar name, but it was at the time. It was first a favorite of worship, and its popularity as an asshole on the screen has grown according to its desire for high -end movies of the craziest and most violent variety.

Jason Statham was the king of action films Gonzo. His films were exaggerated and exempt from restraint. They were violent at John Wick’s level but without any self -employed and ten times for free. Sometimes they were all that and also really stupid.

Statham’s crank films may have been the ultimate in this style of action Gonzo, but other stars were also expected. Clive Owen Pull them It was like a live action Looney Tunes. And Nic Cage made a Ghost rider Following which presented a scene in which he fires on the screen of the film, just for hell.

And then everything is gone. The company has tightened. The independent publishers were buried while the old media companies have paid pressure and money on the internet to supplant them. Films and filmmakers began to feel exploited to push a specific message while culture activists cancel threats. He was no longer sure to take risks.

The effect of this was most visibly seen in comedy. In 2017, Papa 2 house was released, and that would be the latest Hollywood’s major comedy film released in theaters for the next eight years.

Comedy was not the only victim. It was no longer an environment where Jason Statham could make an action film in which he had to engage in sex or murder every ten minutes to live. Yes, this is the intrigue of CrankIf you haven’t seen it.

Now everything comes back. 2025 saw the return of comedy with The naked pistolAnd at the same time, action films Gonzo Rated razed razed also make a comeback. 2022 saw the release of Violent night2023 gave us Cocaine bearand now here Person 2.

Nobody 2 sets fire and tears off her legs

Person 2 Gradually becomes more ridiculous as it goes, until our hero plants terrestrial mines in the ball pit in an amusement park and engages in an exchange of machine guns while sliding in a slide.

There is a wolf, a black ninja, Doc Brown with a Gatling pistol and Sharon Stone giving one of the most unleashed wicked performance that I have ever seen on the screen in anything. Imagine if the character the Grossman of Tom Cruise from Tonnerre Tropic (Another successful experience of the 2000s in excess) decided to become a psychotic killer, and you would have the basic genesis of the Lendina of Stone. She even has dance movements.

Everything is anchored by the most improbable action star, Bob Odenkirk, 62, in Jorts and a sensitive polo shirt.

If there is a defect Person 2 is Madness is probably Odenkirk, who is not so great for making some of the stunts. The film does its best to transform it into John Wick, and the combat choreography is enormous; He is simply not always for sale at his retirement age.

It is forgivable because the character aw-shucks i’m-nobody of Odenkirk is an important element of what makes the film fun. And in addition, Person 2 Do not ask you to take it seriously.

Gonzo action films are back and this time, I hope they are there to stay.
