      "Confrontation in the Line of Fire" - the original nature of human beings?

      The film begins with a confrontation between the police and the bandits, while negotiator Bruce Willis is lying on the rooftop talking to the man who intended to kill his wife and kill his son on his mobile phone, trying to persuade him to surrender. If according to the normal pattern, Bruce Willis should be able to convince the criminal, and on the surface it feels like this to the audience, so that he can highlight his negotiating talent and pave the way for the subsequent...

      Anticlimactic

      The feeling of the whole film is as shown in the title. The first half of the plot has a good tension and it feels very exciting, but in the second half, the development of the plot is a bit abrupt, and the clues are a bit confusing. In the end, bruce drove several times on the ground. The gun confession is not very clear, is it caused by insufficient funds for the later film? However, the whole film is still worth recommending. I think there are not many films that do not rely on...

      Found a good actor-Kim Coates

      Old Bu's daughter, uh. . . He really didn't inherit his Lao Tzu's actor gene.
      I think Kim Coates, the actor of "the Watchman", the leader of the kidnappers, has very good acting skills. Some research found that this person actually appeared in the latest film "Resident Evil" as the hateful producer (Wo Li Dou Then the guy ended badly).
      However, in Lao Bu's film, he kept his face covered, and he could only express it by voice and eyes. He still managed to portray a...

      DOA?

      A masterpiece that interweaves human justice and evil, beauty and ugliness. In addition to the deep-rooted American human rights awareness, the core values ​​of the film express more of the universality of human beings. It is not easy to be able to express such a macro and broad thing clearly. What is commendable is that the director interprets the story structure of multiple main lines so perfectly, and has created vivid and flesh-and-blood characters for the audience, and...

      Episodic film

      At first I thought that Bruce was still in the same style as before, with hot action and simple plot,
      but this movie is really interesting. There are few real action components and the plot is a little more complicated than imagined.
      The film should be divided into three parts. The
      first part. The negotiator failed in the negotiation, and the gangster and the hostages were all gone. The
      negotiator fell to a small town and became a police chief.
      In fact, I...
