      England Showdown

      Grandly recommend "British Showdown", a textbook of genre films. While watching this film, my heart is only learning. Ireland was a few independent kingdoms before 1171. In 1171, Henry II designated Ireland as a territory of the Kingdom of England, and Ireland has always been under British rule. At the beginning of the 20th century, the consciousness of Irish independence was awakened, and the Irish Republican Army was formed and fought with Britain for three years. In 1922, Ireland became...

      Tribute to 66-year-old Jackie Chan

      Salute to 66-year-old Jackie Chan! From the beginning to the end of this movie, no matter how good it is or not, when I saw Jackie Chan, only two words appeared in my mind - distressed. He was probably 63 when he made this film. I remember that when he made Shinhwa, he said that it was the last film he made, and he couldn't help but continue to pay. It is no exaggeration to say that there will never be a second Jackie Chan again within a hundred years. And Bruce Willis, I love his 007, and...

      fatherly love

      Big Brother's movies have changed from the previous style, and they look calmer, but I still like the humorous style of the past, but maybe Big Brother is old, and there are not so many fighting scenes, which makes me feel that the years are not forgiving. Although there are no big surprises in this movie, the kind of deep father's love deeply moved me. He paid a lot to find his daughter. Although I can't accept the ending, this unexpected ending is very exciting. It's the film that left the...

      I thought to see Gu Long actually saw Jin Yong~

      It's good-looking, a masterpiece of the genre, basically no urine spots, the script is solid, the plot is rich, and the actors are in place! The story level is flipped and the rhythm is properly controlled, and the foreshadowing is interlocking from beginning to end - although I thought it would be a "shuangwen" when I watched the trailer, in fact it is a "plot essay", the director used Jackie Chan and his kung fu To be very restrained and just right.

      Haha, I suddenly thought of a...

      Killer

      A movie with a different atmosphere than imagined and the trailer.

      It is not so much the kind of arrogance that is crazy and desperate, but it is the helpless act of the old man who is forced to nowhere by the dark power.

      The Chinese translation is extremely inappropriate, and the atmosphere of the whole film is not a game between the minister and Jackie Chan created by the cover. Closer to the atmosphere of political conspiracy, a person with power, a person with good skills,...

      Stannis is not good at being the king, nor is he a bodyguard. . Watching the old-fashioned Uncle Jackie Chan jump up and down, he felt distressed for three seconds. What is the significance of Liu Tao's existence? . . . . I found out at the end that it was Brosnan ah ah ah ah ah ah, my favorite...

      This is basically a Hollywood movie, the pace is a little slow, Jackie Chan can play the old man, some guerrilla warfare is more interesting, but Brosnan's villain is still somewhat...

      To add two stars to Jackie Chan, this should obviously be a cold-hearted political anti-terrorism film. His role is not the protagonist, but he changed it for the box office. On the whole, it gives people a sense of clutter. After all, Brosnan's original protagonist has too many problems to explain, so such a compression is obviously not enough, the suspense is not suspended, and the reversal is meaningless! The film is really average, but I am really convinced by Jackie Chan's performance this...

      #cinema# Action movies in the 21st century can hardly reproduce the glorious moments of the 1980s and 1990s. Movies are just movies after all. In reality, Jackie Chan treats his own daughter with half of the movie? It's all a...

But now, he gathers all his strengths and opens a small restaurant in London's Chinatown, and lives with his daughter ( Katt ) . In a terrorist attack, his daughter was unfortunately killed.

    Behind the scenes gags

    When actor Tamia Liu received the film invitation, the director dismissed her as being too young, and the age difference between the characters in the film was too large, but in order to stay as close to the film characters as possible, she deliberately dyed a lot of white hair, wrinkles and age spots during filming.
    There are a lot of action scenes in the film, but Jackie Chan had a muscle injury and he was directly hospitalized for...

    Evaluation action

    In the definition of genre, "The Foreigner" is a solo heroic action film that closely combines political thrillers with trickery and trickery. The two lines of the film were completed by Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, trying to achieve the confrontation between the small characters and the big ones. After all, it was still a bit reluctant, so that a considerable part of the film was close to the cut-and-paste of two independent films....

    Movie quotes

    • Liam Hennessy: [answers phone] You come to my office and plant a fucking bomb?

      Quan Ngoc Minh: Have you changed your mind?

      Liam Hennessy: Changed my mind? Are you out of your fuckin' tree? You have no idea who you're dealin' with. But you'll soon find out.

      Quan Ngoc Minh: Give me the names.

      Liam Hennessy: I'll tell you what. Let's meet face-to-face. We'll settle...

      Quan Ngoc Minh: [hangs up]

      Liam Hennessy: ...the fuckin' wanker threatened me and hung up!

    • Liam Hennessy: You killed my dog.

      Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

    • Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.

      Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.

      Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?

      Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!

      Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?

      Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?

      Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.

      Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?

      Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.

      Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.

      Quan Ngoc Minh: [backhands Hennessy in the face] We are NOTHING alike. You're NOTHING! You kill women and children! NAMES!

      Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!

      Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]

      Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.

      Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.

      Liam Hennessy: ...what if they don't set off a bomb by then?

      Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.

      [leaves]

      Liam Hennessy: ...Jesus. Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus.
