      The child's cough is not good, most of it is abolished: the birth of Lei Nan Lang Fa Shark

      The storyline, really like a fucking life, makes you hang up for a while (oh not just for a while, maybe for a lifetime) without scratching your head.

      I just want to talk about the Shark and Pete.

      I always feel that the male characters before the age of 70 are not like the sharks. They always have to be thicker, clumsy, or even ugly. Orlando blooming is probably the first attempt without Lei's personal temperament, but Unexpectedly, Lei Ye's plan was soaked in soup with his...

      "Black Gold Murder"

      This is a film directed by Scott in 2013.

      So far, I have seen quite a few films directed by Scott. After watching these films, the general feeling is that Scott has been exploring and changing. What he is exploring is not general local changes, but new ideas of different styles of films. Hollywood has developed to the present, and the styles of many films have gradually become stylized. Emotional films must be about a lover who ends up getting married, fighting films must be good...

      All kinds of suspenseful crime films with big coffee platters, but the plot editing is blurred.

      Brad Pitt, as well as all kinds of powerful and beautiful women, handsome guys as supporting roles for Fa Shark, this role of Pitt is still dead, and the way of death is very miserable! Every time Pitt has long hair and beards, the characters with short hair and no beards are really different from the movies. Movies with short hair are good movies. Black Heart Murder is more in line with this film, I feel that the film is a bit anticlimactic, and many of the plot directors in the back are so...

      Counselor who can't give himself advice

      Recommendation index: ★★★☆☆ (6.8)

      There is no "lawyer" lawyer here but a "counselor" legal advisor. I am afraid it is also because of its original meaning, the person who provides consultation and advice, which shows a strong irony.

      Throughout the article, I did not see the specific role played by the male protagonist in the entire drug trade. It seems redundant, and the basic setting of the story is far-fetched. However, any business and transaction needs legal talents, so...

      rather than writing a book

      If you rate a movie, it's in the low bracket. At first, I thought the editing was too bad, but more than half of it found that the director didn't understand what the main body and core were. This story is better suited for a book than a movie.

      With such a quality cast. If it is in China, it is the combination of Hu Ge, Andy Lau, Li Bingbing, Deng Chao and Sun Li and his wife! Playing PPT in theaters can make money well. It's a fact that the film is ugly. The actor's narration is too...

    Evaluation action

    "The Counselor" brings us an unprecedented double meal, that is, the most outrageous sex scene of the year and the most memorable brutal murder of the year. The film is superb from beginning to end ( Chicago Sun Times review ). 
    Although several actresses played very hard, the effect was not satisfactory. The film probably wanted to explore greed, desire and death. However, many dialogues appear artificial, not to mention the plot,...

    Movie quotes

    • Westray: Well, I'm perfectly willing to believe you had nothing to do with this but I'm not the party you have to convince.

      Counselor: Convince of what, for Christ sake?

      Westray: That this is some sort of coincidence. Because they don't really believe in coincidences. They've heard of them. They've just never seen one.

    • Reiner: I don't know what

      [Malkina]

      Reiner: knows. I don't want to know.

      Counselor: You don't trust her.

      Reiner: Jesus Counselor, she's a woman.

      Counselor: Yeah, well.

      Reiner: Yeah, well, I don't mean to sound cold, I just mean that where women are concerned, they've got their own agenda. I always liked smart women, but it's been an expensive hobby.

    • Wireman: Those guys aren't cops. Those guys are cartel.
