      What are you talking about

      It may be a translation problem, and there are too many names, and it doesn't reflect who is who at once (it's still not reflected which Jack is...). The previous videotape also couldn't see his face clearly, as if it was Billy with a shaggy beard, which means that he shot and killed someone on purpose, and it didn't make it clear why he wanted to kill. Maybe you fell in love with Natalie at that time? Then her sister was still a younger sister (saying that her sister was only 16 years old at...

          As Albert Hughes's twin brother, Alan Hughes has always been with his brother, appearing as the Hughes brothers. This time, he chose to fly solo. The reason that made him make this decision is also very simple, because dealing with this kind of film mixed with conspiracy theories, murders and popular scenes is his strength. Alan Hughes said: "To be precise, I am very interested in this subject matter, but...

      Broken movie

      The reason to see the Broken City is simple, I am a fan of Wahlberg. There are enough action scenes in the trailer, plus the Jay-Z soundtrack, there are also old drama bones like Russal Crowe and Zeta Jones, the goddess in my mind. The film is also about securities struggles, which suits my taste.
      After watching the movie, I found that this movie is definitely Broken enough. I still remember that I watched Gangster Squad a week ago and had a comment that the movie did not bring out the...

      Typical Hollywood movie

      A typical popcorn movie of the Hollywood industry. Movies depicting political darkness are always made in Hollywood every year, and Mark Wahlberg is the best candidate for this type of movie. Mark Wahlberg, who always likes to play the role of retiring master, continues to pick up the burden this time. By the way, I brought two Oscars, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta Jones, to accompany myself. The plot is still the same old-fashioned, it belongs to the kind of ending that can be guessed at...

    Evaluation action

    Although the film seems very stupid from time to time, it at least maintains a high level of entertainment from beginning to end. ("Chicago Sun") The director's choice of visual style seems a bit clichéd, but the attention to the quality of the picture and the presentation of the conflicts between good and evil, men and women, light and darkness, sex and power in the core of the story still make up for a lot defect. ("New York...)
