      Muscle man

      The plot is very general, and the choice to watch is for the male protagonist. The muscles of a suit made me familiar at first, but then I suddenly realized that he was a star in WWE, which turned out to be a wwe film. Look at the chivalrous tenderness of this big guy, and watch the hot scenes in...

      Belongs to a relatively speechless movie

      The protagonist of the violent strong, the sturdy police car, these bean friends have summed it up, and it will not be long-winded here. Actually, I don't mind too much. Action movies, do you always have to make a superhero who can't be killed. It's just the plot that makes me very speechless....

      Another tough guy was born! Can’t be killed or blown up, the main character’s purpose is very simple, is to save his wife, to save his wife...the one who blocks me from saving my wife will bring down the good people and kill the bad ones!

      I watched it a long time ago, but now I remember the storyline. It seems that the hero did not obey the military order to save people alone on the Iraqi battlefield. Although the hostages were successfully rescued, the people in the White House still decided to retire for him. A rich man harassed a lady from the building. The rich man tried to do it, but he was beaten, and he lost his security job. He went on a long trip with his wife and met a robber who kidnapped his wife. Then he rescued his wife.
