      The biggest routine: criminals love to pretend

      Eastwood and Malkovich play rival roles. Let me talk about this American crime film first. The biggest tactic is that criminals love to pretend to be forced , like to play murder games, articulate the methods of murder, and have a very conceited philosophy of

      The old man's career makes a comeback

      The old man, who finally succeeded in achieving a career turnaround, got an old loli by the way. There have been many assassinations of American presidents in history, but it is really interesting to think from the perspective of bodyguards. Several discussions between the characters in the film are full of disdain for the president and the first lady, but out of professionalism, it is still necessary to block bullets at critical moments. It is a bit weird to be a presidential...

      Good movie

      When I watched domestic films when I was young, the bad guys inside had no other character besides being stupid and cruel, just like a leaf in autumn, shriveled and thin. The villain created by "Sniper in Fire" is just the opposite. He has reasons for his deterioration, and he has the logic to do bad things. He is not only fierce, but also smart, and sometimes even speaks of loyalty. Such a plump image is more real and more like flesh and blood characters in our lives, so it is easier...

      I may be your enemy, but friend, please cherish it.

      The story seems very simple. Former CIA officer Leary wanted to assassinate the president, and Horrigan, an elderly federal police officer, protected the president's life.
        
      But everyone with a discerning eye knows that although Leary, the killer in the story, failed to assassinate the president and lost his life, the film belongs to him.
        
      No way, except for real events, it is impossible for a fabricated story to make the president assassinated. Firstly, it does...

      Eastwood's great show in this film

      A lot of grades went to seduce the little girl, and took the opportunity to ask them to eat ice cream. When they left, he chanted "Look back at me and see me prove that you like me". When I was on duty, I played the piano for someone and made eye attacks. Like a little boy, I went into the elevator with others and entered the room. When the foreplay was in full swing, the phone came and asked them not to answer (usually "Don't answer the phone". This kind of bridge is all said by...

      If there is even a little sympathy for Dongmu's respect for the villain, the role of the old detective he has created will be much fuller and more three-dimensional. It's a pity that this script has a good foundation, and it could have gone a step further and become a better...

      The good-looking special agent film is impressive on both sides. The special villain plays the clown who doesn't paint makeup. It's scary. The plot is not complicated but...

      I knew that it was impossible for Mr. Dongmu to take a pure action movie. Whether the preciousness of individual life meets the representative of collective value, such as the life of the president, will be dissolved, which has become the moral dilemma of the protagonist. Frank's age-career crisis collided with a heart knot, and his self-deconstruction process became the driving force behind the development of the plot. But the film's discussion is limited to this level. If it can be interwoven...

    Evaluation action

    The film did not introduce obvious reasons or motives for the assassins assassinating the president. The agents responsible for protecting the president are only out of work needs. If these motives are ignored, the film can be regarded as a pretty good action film, although it is not a film that can be remembered for a long time by the audience. ("Chicago Reader" review) 
    The script of the film deeply portrays the little-known...

    Movie quotes

    • Mitch Leary: [Leary's final words on Frank's answering machine as Frank and Lily listen briefly then leaving his apartment together] Hello, Frank. By the time you hear this, it'll be over. The President is most likely dead, and so am I. I wonder, Frank, did you kill me? Who won our game? Not that it really matters, for among friends like you and me, it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game, and now the game is done and it's time to get on with your life. But I worry, Frank, that you have no life to get on with. You're a good man, and good men like you and me are destined to walk a lonely road. Goodbye, and good luck.

    • Mitch Leary: [to Pam Magnus before he kills her] You shouldn't have been from Minneapolis.

    • Frank Horrigan: [while sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial] If she looks back, that means she's interested. Come on now give me a little look, a little glance back. Give me a small look and be on your way!
