      Two unusual handsome guys merge into an unusual killer road movie

      Nothing is pictured, but the picture can’t think of how this buddy with different styles can get together to play a film.

      Let’s talk about Duchoni. When it comes to him, there is no other image. It’s just X FILE, then it’s just FOX. MODER, it’s too popular. From high school to university, I watched at least eight seasons. Other than that, there is probably only one. What is evolution? The plot is old-fashioned and cannot be old-fashioned. The unchanging politeness and...

      The score is too low

      1. The highlight of this film is not in the script but in the performance.
      2. The highlight of the performance of this film might have been destroyed by Pete's star face, but he is indeed an out-and-out director-type actor. Muddy eyes, dirty breath. Quite naturally in place.
      3. The biggest highlight of this film is undoubtedly the performance of Juliette Lewis. I don’t know how many people, like me, watched this work before they watched a born murderer. My first feeling was: otherwise...

      The whole story becomes a metaphor

      The story is bloody, but the conception, setting and photography are all excellent.
      In the last part, in the room in the abandoned area of ​​nuclear weapons experiments, there are messy piles of naked dummy, which can make people do whatever they want without having to feel guilty. Only then did I understand why we designed such a weird hairstyle for the heroine-the real person and the real person. For the dummy, the only difference is whether it can inspire a sense of responsible guilt....

      Comment on "California Killer"


          Wenqing stupid couple women despise civilian stupid couple men to pull their feet while eating - while civilian stupid women see Wenqing stupid women taking nude photos of their own children, but they say that civilian stupid men do not allow themselves to be so out of character - Two pairs of stupid lovers! Repulsive, incompatible, and squeezed together to find common ground—the consistent style of Anglo-American—find a fucking balance—this so-called balance is a reasonable deception...

      6/10. In the standard 90s style of talking police and gangster films, the fledgling Dominic Senna seems to want to make this serial killer theme as non-mainstream as possible, with dark yellow tones and an old style, especially at the beginning of the whole picture to create a dirty, The cold and broken effect is a pity that it is dragging and boring. I personally think that the director has to learn from Quentin in terms of narrative, rhythm, lines, violent scenes and other...
