      I just wanted to know why the SWAT didn't hold an explosion-proof shield for cover after getting on the plane?

      After watching this film, I feel that the plot is too protracted. In order to rescue the people in their organization, why do terrorists feel very passive and have been procrastinated by the government for various reasons? Without putting too much pressure on the government? As for the tactical arrangement of the special police officers who got on the plane to save the hostages, one did not prepare explosion-proof shields, and two did not prepare flash bombs, and the snipers on the outside...

      It's sincere, but it doesn't look good

      Title: The Assault French original title: L'assaut The film is a military film, faithfully describing the hijacking of Air France Flight 8969 in 1994. The plot is very simple.

      The film uses a realistic style, the whole film basically has no color, but a monochrome style like faded old photos. The way of shaking the camera when expressing the inner tension of terrorists feels a little stiff. It is also more formulaic, for example, when talking about the police, by the way, how worried...

      Anti-terrorist films with French characteristics

Instead, it showed the audience what happened from a diplomatic and political point of view. The specific cause and process, if there was no French diplomatic pressure on the Afghan government, the plane would not have flown to Marseille but...

      personal opinion,

      Will this save people? How the kidnappers got the commandos on the plane, that. . I'm a little puzzled. The three ladder cars of the commandos have been discovered in such a large battle. The robber's reaction turned out to be hiding in the cab, preparing to fight a positional battle with the members of the French Gendarmerie? Why not kill a few hostages and warn the commandos not to approach the plane? There are at least thirty or forty people in the commandos. The originally small space of...
