      Operation Mekong-- A Failed Anti-drug Story

      I haven't watched this type of movie in a while, so tell me your understanding of this one. The director should really like "Black Hawk Down," right? Watching this movie gives a sense of the Chinese version of the Black Eagle falling. The difference is that after watching the falling of the black eagle, you will want to join the army, your blood will boil, and you will want to throw your head and blood for the...

      Operation Mekong--Upholding Justice is the Duty

      I finally found time to watch it yesterday. Before watching, my friend told me that the filming was good, but I felt that something deeper could be explored. I didn't watch it at the time, so I didn't refute it, but I also knew that this was a domestic film with a good reputation.

      After watching it, it is indeed, like a friend said, it is not a movie...

      From "Narcos" to "Operation Mekong", why are drug lords so charming?

      Coincidentally, the domestic films and American TV dramas that have received rave reviews this year are all about drug lords.

      There are not a few American dramas that use drugs as the subject. A few years ago, "Breaking Bad" became popular, and "Single Drug Mom" ​​received a good response. Last year, "Queen of the South" appeared again... Until "Narcos" ("Narcos") ”) appeared, and recommendations from all over the world forced me to finish two seasons in five days. "Narcos" tells the...

      Children are the hope of the world, don't let drugs ruin that hope

      A good film, with a tight plot, tense and exciting scenes, and well-acted actors.
      A good movie always touches the heart. The main theme of the anti-drug movie, there is no preaching, nor deliberately shooting the hideous faces of drug addicts who are addicted to drugs, but simply show you this side of the world, but people hate drugs from the heart.
      The movie turns these scenes calmly: drug dealers force villagers to plant drugs, and if they don’t obey, they chop off their hands and...

      Failed to enter the play and failed to resonate

      I don't know if it's because the paper was too heavy when I read this last week, but after reading it, there was only one in my mind. These drug dealers suffer a great loss because they don't understand Chinese. The problem is, in That area shouldn't be. Sorry, can't play, don't know why. What an educational film, should I say it's a pity that it's too hasty, or a pity that the drunkard's intention is not to drink? Also, one more thing, I just remembered. Does brother Zhang Hanyu look like...

      161013 saw the so-called other ending on Weibo and dropped another star. Add the "junk" label. //160930 has really been looking for a reason to get three stars, but in the end, he can only give two stars, and one star is still true.

      The scenes and actions are really good, and it feels like a blockbuster. But the film has no flavor, and the script is average: the characters are superficial, and the supporting characters are not dramatic; the story lacks ups and downs, and once it hits the end, a single segment is very lively, and the overall lack of change. The description of the hand-held photography segment is not clear enough. Some plots at the end are also not in place: why did not explain the casualties at the end?...
