      Alternative spy action movies that don't hide their flaws

      I was very interested after watching the trailer, but it didn't show! Had to take advantage of the plane to watch the film, the effect is greatly reduced.

      The biggest flaw of this film is that the overall setting is rather inexplicable, but the story built on it is magically flesh and blood, with laughter and tears, and I have to say that half of the credit is due to the special combination of the heroine Nanzhu. Originally, Kristen Stuart was at the top of my blacklist of actresses,...

      Just like crap

      Text/Dream Poetry and Book

      Diaosi's Counterattack to Become a Special Agent is not impossible to be a wonderful comedy action movie like "Ace Agent", but the so-called "Dormant Agent" setting of "Waste Agent" was difficult to attract attention from the beginning, and As it unfolds, the humor of love is not only blunt and rigid, but also the bloody violence is unbelievably amazing, just as mediocre as waste wood.

      A mediocre work with good foreshadowing but lack of stamina

      Black humor + a lot of blood plasma + true feelings in the world + absurd divine twist, I only take Simon Pegg's blood and ice cream trilogy for this type of film.

      This film is quite interesting from the moment when the protagonist is activated to the massacre at the police station. I didn't expect it to go down all the way after that, slipping more and more into the abyss of plain and mediocre. The bright spot makes people yawn in minutes.

      I won't tell you it's a comedy

      The film tells about the plain life of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, but the male protagonist has been "transformed" a long time ago, and has different abilities from ordinary people. When the male protagonist wants to ask for marriage, the bad guy appears and wants to kill the male protagonist. Lord, so the fight began, but the male protagonist never imagined that his girlfriend would come to spy on him. The male protagonist was disheartened, but he still loved the female...

      A very funny action movie romance~

      I just watched the useless agent, and I didn't want to read it after hearing the name, but I didn't expect it to be full of surprises after watching it! It seems that there has never been a film of this type before, especially the translation is so funny! Many of them have used the current buzzwords, I believe you will like them. There was no urination in the audience, the heroine has always been beautiful, and the hero changed his hairstyle and became handsome at the end!
      The setting of...

    Evaluation action

    The film is full of creativity and a romantic film. The director cleverly uses the super mashup of the geek genre. Under the guidance of the two leading actors, the film presents a crazy, clever and intelligent energy to the end of the world. The use of personality is also the charm of the movie subject matter. It looks very aggressive, gentle and muddy. (Sina Entertainment Review) 
    The film has the style of "The Bourne", but it is...

    • Victoria Lasseter: Thanks for the location on Howell. I'm heading to him right now, but in the meantime we've got to go public on this. Call Krueger. I can't believe Yates has been training mental patients for his program.

      Petey Douglas: It is my duty to inform you that should you go public with this operation.

      Victoria Lasseter: It's your duty? What? We have to stop this! He's completely out of his mind!

      Petey Douglas: If you go public with this operation, you're committing treason and will be treated as a traitor to the United States of America. I'm sorry. I can't help you anymore.

      Victoria Lasseter: No! Pete! Peter! Petey!
