      Go around

      Undeniably, until the last moment, seeing the black old man sitting on the stairs when the woman went upstairs really made me scared. The whole story made me feel nervous. I was nervous while peeling and eating grapefruit. After watching the whole story, the storyline, the ups and downs, one after another, there are always things you can't imagine appearing, and the final ending is very relaxed. It makes you feel that the nervousness of watching the movie for an hour and a half is a bit...

      This story gave me a glimpse of the level of bullshit in the American TV series.

      In fact, the quality of the film is quite good.. The sound effects and atmosphere creation (the whole film is performed in the gloomy rainy night, which looks very hideous), and the performance level has reached a very high level. But if you take a closer look, there seems to be a lot of loopholes, so I won’t mention them one by one. I believe everyone is also full of question marks. There are a lot of names in it that make people dizzy--the
      first time I look at it, I might feel the scene...

      I thought it was a great movie, but actually...

      John Travolta left a deep impression on me in "Face Changing", so I thought this film would not be bad there. In fact, the actors are good, including Samuel L. Jackson and Connie Nielsen. The problem lies in the screenwriter, lack of logic, true or false, and can't figure out what's going on. In order to figure it out, I read the introduction of the director behind, and made up the whole thing, and I feel good about myself, thinking that this design and arrangement will be surprisingly...

      "The Base Suspicious Cloud": The director asked you to move bricks

      Hurry up and say a few words



          . I accidentally clicked on this film in the middle of the night when I was asleep . It made me very awake. If you like watching reversal dramas, this film is enough to make you blacklist reversal dramas from now on. In the second half of the plot, it was like spreading pancakes, and it started to flip, and I looked at the pancakes like an idiot who had been hungry for three days. The saliva at the corner of my mouth exposed the despair in my...

      Classic suspense/reasoning dramas that are not enough after watching 10 times

      "Doesn't understand" "Looks like plain" is the label of suspense / reasoning American drama super boutique. This drama is the most suspenseful of the mystery films, and the one that needs the most reasoning in the mystery film. It is inevitable to not understand it again. After reading the third time, if you can understand 100%, congratulations, you have an IQ of 130+, you are at least smarter than 90% of people, and your logical analysis skills are very strong. This film is suitable for super...

      Are you creating too much suspense?...

    Movie plot

Jackson ) disappeared without a trace after the hurricane. West is known for being strict, and the relationship with the students has always been very tense. The only two survivors remained silent, unwilling to cooperate with the government....

    Evaluation action

    "Basic" is a mystical movie. It is difficult for the audience to classify the film into the category of "smart" movies. At most, it is a little clever. In fact, smart movies do not lie in how many twists and turns, but in the intriguing meaning behind every turn. "Guess the fan" can only be used for recreation, and "thinking" can really provide fun   . (Netease Review)
    The four-character title "Basic" expresses the tone of the film....

    • Styles: [to Hardy] You never met a bribe you didn't like.

    • [repeated line]

      Pike: All we got to do is tell the story right.

    • Sgt. Nathan West: Those of you I find lacking will quit. And those of you who refuse to quit will have a training accident. This base suffers three training accidents a year. Unfortunate accidents that I will not hesitate to repeat if you cross me!
