      It’s not that the villain is too weak, but the protagonist is too strong

      Although I can understand the charm and power of the old film period, I am still very resistant to the old film, mainly because of the style of painting.

      Looking at the old drama bone Morgan Freeman, there are a lot of complaints, and the emotional expression of the story is not delicate. There is really not much to praise in the portrayal of the characters' emotions.

      1. Emmm... The heroine is pretty.

      2. When I saw 1/3 of the movie, I had already faintly guessed that the...

      The story is good

      The story is good: the
      kidnappers pretended to be a teacher and hid the school for two years and kidnapped a 10-year-old girl to threaten her father (congressman) with a ransom of 100 million. The oriole is in front and the praying mantis is behind. The two policemen who protect the girl discovered the kidnapper and secretly funded the others to succeed, and then killed the kidnapper. In the end, one policeman shot and killed the other policeman to protect himself.
      The character...

      Along Came a Spider

      Along Came a Spider is living proof that sometimes good books simply have no place as a movie. James Patterson is a master at creating suspense using the pacing of his words and short chapters. Along Came a Spider loses this key element of all Patterson books, and depends itself on a story that simply have way too many plot holes and questionable decisions by the character. What is worse is casting Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, as he simply does not have the same persona as the character in the...

      Maybe it’s really readable, but it’s not what you and I can do.

      It is not uncommon to analyze the psychology of a suspect to achieve the goal, but it is probably not the right way to catch criminals by spending all their minds on psychoanalysis. Just as the psychologist in the film went around and noticed a technique reflected on the monitor. detail. The hostage was indeed rescued, but whether he was really a winner, or was he solved the problem by his so-called psychoanalysis. If it wasn't for the foolish teacher who went to the policewoman's house and...

      Results of insomnia

      The result of my insomnia tonight is seeing such a movie. These bad thrillers are always shown on TV in the middle of the night.
      What do you say? This movie is okay. I don't want people to appreciate the whole film process a little bit, but it makes people want to know what the final ending will be like.
      I think it's a waste of MORGAN FREEMAN's acting skills. It seems that the protagonist is always the same calm, except for a bit of excitement at the beginning, and the rest is always...

    • Gary Soneji: I am living proof that a mind is a terrible thing.

    • Alex Cross: You do what you are Jezzie.

      Jezzie Flannigan: You mean you are what you do.

      Alex Cross: No, I mean, you do what you are. You're born with a gift. If not that, then you get good at something along the way. And what you're good at, you don't take for granted. You don't betray it.

      Jezzie Flannigan: What if you do, betray your gift?

      Alex Cross: Then you betray yourself. That's a sad thing.
