      The crew spent so much effort, fuck the dick

      .
              Snow mountains, glaciers, very spectacular.
              In a 105-minute movie, the two lines meet at the 58th minute.
              In such a big, closed, small mountain area in winter, the leaders of the two gangs of police, the two male protagonists, one of them was a well-known person from Paris, and they didn't meet until the 60th minute.
              The supporting roles, one by one, are long and eight short, with head and mouse eyes.
              Jean Reno, in the first...

      It's rather bizarre

      All of the teachers at Gurnon are fascist Nazis. All the infrastructure of the university is shared with the surrounding residents, forming a self-contained system. The president of Gernon University is no less than a mayor. However, these Nazis believed in racial promotion. Due to the intermarriage of the Nazis, their children were genetically abnormal and suffered from certain congenital diseases or disabilities due to the influence of inbreeding. For this reason, they exchanged these...

      How to say, in fact, I have rarely come into contact with French films before. I recently came into contact with French, and the teacher introduced the film in class, so I thought of watching it.
        First of all, the soundtrack is really good. The beginning of the film is a close-up of the various parts of the deceased's wounds, as well as those maggots, coupled with the child's humming throughout the whole film, there is indeed a thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere. And in MARK, the...

      A veritable thriller

      A thriller and suspense movie that requires your full attention and your eyes to watch. With excellent photography and soundtrack, the atmosphere is full of dignified, depressed and terrifying.

      Snow-capped mountains, cemeteries, everything suitable for spooky events.

      heinous crime.

      Two police officers with different styles, one old and one young.

      Unexpected truth.

      A sympathetic suspect.

      Jean Reno is still the same Jean Reno. For the...

      Confused

      The subject matter of the movie is very appealing and yes, I also love watching movies about Nazis and genocide. But this movie really confuses me. It would be unreliable to select athletes and professors alone if it is necessary to racially improve sheep. This star has a considerable probability of not completing the optimal pairing of dominant and recessive genes. And later, when a genetic disease appeared, the "external gene" was used for recombination. It means that the original...

      Matthew is not only handsome, but he also has a set of ideas. I didn't know that this film was directed by him. The technique is actually quite good, and it is a bit brain-burning. In the end, it is not that the plot is particularly complicated, but he has some omissions in his explanation, but the overall layout It's quite close, there is a sense of suspense, and the atmosphere is good. The appearance of the twins is a bit unexpected, but it's a pity that Matthew didn't have any connecting...

    "Les rivières pourpres" is a French film but its style is very similar to American movies, from rhythm and language to action and scene excitement. The French director Matthew Casovitz told a simple story, and the filming was suspenseful, with deep twists and turns. In particular, the ending of the story is tortuous and thrilling, unexpected, and there is no lack of the taste of the suspense master Hitchcock mode. The creation of an...
