    Character Evaluation

    Doug Liman's old hotness is that it has abandoned the old-fashioned and tacky car chasing scenes of Hollywood action movies. When you are tense and thrilling, you can still feel a clear winter atmosphere. The towering spires of the buildings under the gloomy sky are clearly visible . 
    Doug Liman is one of the hardest to classify among Hollywood directors. He has the freedom to travel back and forth between independent film and commercial production, but he has a unique film style but never sticks to it. He doesn't want to follow Hollywood's filmmaking conventions, but he can still enjoy it . 
    Doug Liman is the backbone of military action movies . He is not the kind of boastful Hollywood director. He is even similar to his style of work. His speech is fast, his words are rigorous, and he is neat and crisp. Occasionally showing a little bit of restraint and shyness, so it is even more unimaginable that in Hollywood, the name of Doug Liman is almost synonymous with rebellion. "The Bourne Identity" formally established Doug Liman's film style, a clever and stylized genre film, with a clever genre fusion premise .
