Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

最后的枪战中，福斯特在空旷的灯光下手枪对长枪，还换弹夹，简直就是白送啊，这战术素养难怪被派派救了两三次。
风格想模仿碟影重重那种冷峻的特工电影类型，可还是差了些… 杰克鲍尔客串反派，真的好了很多，被军队抛弃的男主做了承包商执行特工任务其实自己就是弃子做的也是不光彩的暗杀，街头枪战还是拍的不错的，败笔是没有展现特工的作战战术和技巧，经费少也不能这样啊… 拿手枪跟屋子里拿狙击枪的干？你这是在干啥呢…
小烂片。首先剧情烂，但帅哥男主还可以救一救，偏偏选了个Chris Pine——我真的全方位360°无死角打咩。
挺好的，没有歌舞，就是最后那个炸弹解除看不懂，按钮没信号割电线就可以？明明炸弹在国会，你把手提箱里的线隔了有啥用？
蛤？ 虽然一开场的低气压和抑郁的bgm就告诉你这不是一部传统的动作惊悚片，但是他们到底在干什么啊。编剧可能自己酝酿了一个牛逼哄哄的剧情但是展现出来就是chris pine经过一系列拙劣的动作打戏最后实现世界大同的故事，感动了自己。
商业片的味道突突突的！！！印度人工智能都能拯救国家了欸、溜的、我们的人工智能还在下围棋🤔
好一个大杂烩，娱乐性不错，除了爆炸特效假，动作场面具有观赏性，而且难得片长只有110分钟
枪战还行，逻辑有问题。老伙计肯定是趁机解决了男主才是正常思维吧...硬要去2 v n送人头？
枪战场面的拟真做得很不错，剧作可以视作《谍影重重》加入道德立场的个体对抗体制，换格林格拉斯执导或许能将质量提高一个档次。
《承包商》这种英文直译的译名不太好，不知道的还以为是讲职场的传记电影，更适合的译名应是“契约者”“合约杀手”。

特种兵被迫退役，迫于生计做了雇佣兵却又被背叛。
为国卖命的特种兵强制退役，没钱，为家庭，私人任务。逃命背叛。
爱情，亲情都有，印度版《升级》《德里陷落》，打斗虽然少，但还行。剧情挺老套的，但不算无聊。
4.9/10 即便剧本与同类型有极高的重合度, 但若活用题材与设定, 本可完成一本颇具思考价值的剧本。 可惜故事内容过满只得压缩, 可压缩之后故事又欠缺逻辑与条理。 并且本作更为致命的部分, 在于这个故事的深度与复杂度, 使场面不得不让位于叙事。 尽管动作戏观赏性极其优秀, 但简短的时长未能使其掩盖住剧本的不足。 最终以剧本与场面互相牵制的状态, 奉上一部失误满满的影片。
克里斯派恩啊，拍完一触即发你还不长教训吗，唉
特种兵被迫退役，迫于生计做了雇佣兵却又被背叛。
开头还行有那么点“逼格”… 但也就开头！然后简直弱爆兼狗血透了！！！又浪费了.. 嗯为什么说又呢…哎
一般般吧，哪有实力这么弱的特战队啊。。。情节前后不搭，牵强
这部电影所传递出的积极意义在当前环境下显得尤为可贵和重要。性别特性的差异不应被贬低和歧视，尊重Ta们心中真正的自己，那是Ta们独特的色彩。
