      Not well written, no specifics.

      Can you be any more handsome? Alain Delon. The old man is almost 82 years old this year. "Lone Killer", "Red Circle" and "The Dead Sea" are three of the classics. The content of the story is that a professional killer who is accompanied by a bird all day can always complete the task neatly, but in the end, because the piano girl deliberately did not load bullets in his pistol, he was exposed to the police ambush and was shot to death by random guns. . (It’s a pity to see this. You have...

      killer's grandfather

      A classic killer movie; the style of Lao Mei influenced a series of big directors from Wu to Wang, and also gave birth to the later "The True Color of Heroes".... Let's

      not talk about the content of the film, but a few interesting details :

      At the beginning of the film, I thought it was Wong Kar-wai's style. A lone killer smokes suffocating cigarettes in bed, and then steals a car.... There is not a single line at the beginning of the film!

      When the two killers...

      too many injuries

      After reading the introduction, I came to watch this movie with the feeling of watching a mystery movie, and found that this movie has many flaws.

      Going to a music bar to kill people is just fine without changing clothes that fit in with the crowd. After killing people, he still wears this clothes without even changing his hat. In fact, when he kills people and goes out to be seen, the end is already doomed. There is no doubt about losing.

      The rubbish that has been wiped with...

      Where the lone killer is illogical

      The employer sent someone to kill Jeff. It's amazing. In broad daylight, he shoots and kills people on the overpass. He is not afraid of being seen by people in the surrounding houses. He also ignores several cars parked under the bridge. He is not afraid of anyone passing by. . Jeff had to wait until night to kill, so he was very careful, not sure how the director arranged it like this. Jeff was shot in the arm, but he didn't even cover it and went home openly with blood flowing through the...

      If we all run out of bullets

      This is a very unique movie, it has many selling points: novel presentation, classic shots, somber atmosphere, the "cold" face of the protagonist, incredible plot development, etc. And that's what I focus on The ideological theme of the film.
         The film was shot in 1968, when people had not completely forgotten the pain of World War II, I guess, the theme of the film is the continuation of people's memories of World War II. Loneliness (perhaps mixed with hazy sadness) became World War II...

      Alain Delon's solo show. The spoof in "Buying the Killer and Shooting People". John Woo and other Hong Kong shootouts, the prototype of killer films. The plot and the techniques are all general, but this kind of slow-moving little mood is none other than a French...

      When I watched "Zorro", I was too young, and I only remembered the particularly recognizable dubbing. Looking at it now, he is actually so handsome. He is the coolest and most handsome killer. He has excellent business skills and a clear mind. He can run when he wants to, and when he wants to die, none of you can stop him. Seemingly soft. I'm so invested in it, I don't know if it's because of this neat way of performance or...

    Movie plot

    Jeff is a taciturn killer. He lives in a hotel with only a bird as his company. Alone, he was commissioned to assassinate the boss of the club. Although the action was seamless, the police detained him. The pianist Marelli recognized Jeff as the suspicious man of the day, but she chose to cover him, which made Jeff suspicious. Jeff found the middleman to settle his wages, but he did not expect that the middleman shot and wounded him....

    "The Godson" combines the elements of American gangster movies in the 1940s with the French subculture of the 1960s, and adds the spirit of Japanese Bushido, contrary to the past style of director Jean-Pierre Grumbach, creating a precedent for violent aesthetics and killer aesthetics. , Has also become an important work in his creative career. Melville portrays a world where there is no trust at all and where murderous intent is...
