      The rhythm and emotional rendering are very good! ! ! ! It's just a simple story...

      The prototype of the characters is good, and if it is deeply portrayed, the texture of the film will leap forward...

      This story mode is very classic, and there are many similar stories in my memory: serial cases, dead former victims, decadent former key players (usually superintendents), new victims, powerless current superintendents, so I had to ask for help In the decadent former superintendent....

      Various slots

      The plot of the whole film is compact, the background music is just right, very smooth, almost the whole film is full of tension and excitement, the plot design is mostly reasonable, and there are many unexpected places. But I have to say there are a lot of flaws. The whole movie is almost ruined by the last part of the film. Mainly analyze the final plot part. 1. After the hostess opened the door of the basement, she was about to call the police, but then the phone fell off, and it really...

      911 operators teach you to stay away from danger

      When you are trapped in the trunk of a car. First of all, you can look for the fluorescent release lever in the trunk to open the trunk. Is there any? Then forcefully remove the taillights from the inside out, observe the surrounding environment through the position where the taillights were removed, and report to the emergency center. After the report, there are still a lot of empty spaces, then try to stretch out your hand and wave it, maybe someone will see it~ Assuming there is paint in the...

      fatal call

      A more wonderful film, Halle Berry's interpretation is also in place. An operator can work with the informant on the other end of the line, empathize with the crisis, and resolve it with as much emotion and thoughtful thought as possible. Because of her reckless call back, the first girl was killed, and she left the frontline job with guilt and anxiety to train 911 operators full-time. Then another girl's kidnapping call for help brought her back to the tense, challenging and unknown workbench...

      Disadvantages of big breasts

      I feel that many places in this area are unreasonable. As a 911 operator, why did she rashly let her resist and kick the taillights of the car without knowing the specific situation of the hostages? If you make such a big movement, you will definitely be noticed. It's just a scam. In the film, the kidnappers played a lot of music and didn't notice it. If they had discovered it earlier, and the taillights of the car fell to the ground, the rearview mirror might also be skipped

      when the...

      Three and a half stars, the US version keeps the call, the ending of the male protagonist is not scary enough, otherwise it can be four and a half stars, that 96-year-old baby fat little loli is called Abigail Breslin, ok, remember...

      All aspects are already perfect, of course, such a theme film cannot forcefully add aesthetic and philosophical factors. Watching in a movie theater doubles the sense of...

    Evaluation action

    The beauty of "The Call" lies not only in its extremely skillful use of commercial narrative techniques, economic and efficient visual presentation, and solid and practical plot, but also in the full respect and in-depth exploration of a new narrative theme by the creators. During the viewing process, the audience will sit with their hearts suspended for a full ninety minutes, while enjoying the stimulating plot of the bombing...
