      Sure enough, the plot and people are not very awesome. The heroine is not pretty. Basically they are ordinary people.
      There is also a cold stone supporting scene in The Condemned, is this...
      also the movie department of wwe Let’s reflect on it. I think we should cooperate with Terminator series,...

      Just watch the fun, don’t take it too seriously

      It's dazzling, and the fight is good. WWE's mature packaging skills are good. As long as a large amount of money is invested, the garbage can be packaged into fine products, which is comparable to the current pop music industry.

      Gunfights, fights, car chases, all kinds of explosions, extremely hot....

      A silly movie, nothing to watch, nothing to say, just three words, silly.

      Very old-fashioned plot, obviously copied from Schwarzenegger's commandos, but the action is still relatively hot.

      Morgan: [looks over at Joey] Fuck you!

      Frank: Or not.

    • Bennett: This guy is like the terminator.
