      Kidnapping stop loss --- when you are being held hostage

      Every time I saw someone in the movie pointing a gun to the victim’s relatives and asking them to put the gun down, or kidnapping for blackmail, I would consider what I would do if I changed to me. ? Although this kind of thing is unlikely to be encountered. But if you encounter it, it will be a matter of fact and cannot be considered. Otherwise you will die. So some thinking must be done.
      Presumably most people will lose their minds, cry in their arms, feel weak in their feet,...

      Game Analysis of Ransom Plot

      I didn't have much hope for this movie, it was too old to serve Daohua, but the plot is indeed wonderful.

      The game of the whole movie can be divided into two parts:

      The first part is the game between the protagonist to rescue his son and the kidnapper. In the beginning, the robbers gave the rich two choices: whether the paying child could go back to the unknown, and tearing up the ticket without paying. In these two roads, the rich have...

      Responding to one-star reviews

      1. The kidnapping leader is hateful and conceited, thinking about making mistakes once, and usually calm and conspiring, but conceited is anxious for success, has a foreshadowing of his personality, and also promotes the plot. 2. When things change suddenly, the main thing is to protect the male lead, so the suspect needs to be subdued. It was an accident to kill him. 3. The game that must be lost can only be gambling mentality. Moreover, I understand that the main criminal is delicate,...

      In the end, if the blackmailed person becomes a robber, he will be more successful.

      Worthy of being a mature, confident, daring man who has been in the market for a long time. Faced with the blackmailer who finally vowed that he could not get the ransom and threatened his family for a lifetime, he resolutely killed the criminal with a clever and unsuspecting method-when he saw the broken glass inadvertently cut off his neck arteries Point the gun at the criminal. Make it easy for the police to step forward and take any action, including rescuing criminals....

      Not afraid of god-level family members, but afraid of pig-like kidnappers

      I just watched this film in "A Good Show", I thought it should be good, the director is good, the actor is a big name, and it looks like I won an award. . I didn't expect to be disappointed after watching it. Sorry, it's not that I sincerely want to be black. I think I should watch more Hong Kong movies on the subject of kidnapping. The plot is more reliable. .

      Let me talk less nonsense. There are too many loopholes in the plot of this film, so that I don't feel the anxiety...

      https://www.bilibili.com/video/av64082831 His wife's hairstyle is pretty and smooth. I want 50 yuan and 100 yuan banknotes, the numbers cannot be consecutive, no new banknotes, no marks, no police, no news media, no trackers. I've seen some kidnapping movies and the conclusion is don't negotiate with the kidnappers, don't give the kidnappers money, and ignore the kidnappers. Because even if you give money, they will tear up the votes, and then the money and people will be empty. You can try the...

      The plot wins. The first half of the kidnapping and hostage rescue routine makes people drowsy, and the second half of the "reward for the kidnappers" makes the whole story turn around. The two leading actors battle wits and courage, and Mel Gibson's composure and the pain of "losing a child" are vividly displayed. It was also him who played cards out of line and made Gary Sinise...

    Background creation

    After winning two Oscars for Best Picture and Director Awards, Mel Gibson joined the action drama as a rich businessman father who fought his wits against the kidnappers. This film is based on the film of the same name in 1956, but director Ron Howard did not know about the film before directing it, and he had not watched it at the same time. It is entirely based on his personal point of view. The plot focuses on the description of...

      Tom Mullen: The way that seems?

    • Detective Jimmy Shaker: We do what you say, and we go to the bank. Anything goes wrong, you're gonna turn around and I'll be gone. Okay. And if that happens, from this day on, any time your kid leaves this house to go to school, go play, see a friend, to buy a fuckin' comic book, you're gonna have to ask yourself: Is today... Jimmy Shaker day?
