Every year, I will turn out the god film that I have watched in its entirety. Although the theme is not deep, the scene is thrilling enough. The textbook-style script is also worthy of serious worship and study by many screenwriters now. The whole plot is gripping and can continue to ignite the emotions of the audience. The young Gino Reeves is handsome and manly, and he constantly sparks emotional sparks with Bullock's "Little Wildcat", especially the subway section at the climax is simply sweet.
