      Here comes a sudden and abrupt climax

      A story about a gang informant, forced to become an informant, accidentally appeared at the scene where the NYPD undercover was killed, was tracked by NYPD police, and was abandoned by the FBI. The gang was about to be executed, and a prison situation was staged in the prison. And jailbreak. Although the frame of the story is not novel, it is not bad. The book feels that it should be acceptable. Cass, who is in the middle and upper class, but unfortunately the director's control ability is...

      Plot loopholes are like fishing nets

      The stupid script of the film editor and director caused too many awkward places to watch. 1. It's too stupid to write about his girlfriend, especially the first time he didn't listen to the host's instructions and was arrested. Not to mention the second time. 2. The host of the installation asked to collect cash and secret recordings, and the door was left wide open. Too unreasonable. The children all know that the door must be closed when entering the house. What's more, what if she is...

      The director is weak and the actors are wasted

      Putting aside Pei Chunhua's factor, she can give four stars, because she didn't perform well, of course, the script itself is not brilliant, the stalk of dressing and escape is used too much, and the struggle in the prison is very shadowy and has the shadow of the prison situation. A lot of space was used to describe the male protagonist's description of his family's feelings, but how Pei Chunhua used this to make him fall into such a precarious situation in order to get out of prison is too...

      You are worthy of mine

      Whistleblower this type of subject matter, you will find a lot of them when you search, it is better than this plot, the gun battle is exciting, the script is much more powerful, but I like this one very much, let me talk about my personal experience. (Don't watch serious spoilers if you haven't watched the movie)

      The film revolves around a family and 3 organizations, Peter and his wife Sofia, and daughter Anna. NYPD, the largest police station in the world, the FBI, one of the most...

      I "scare" myself and think about the plot, watching the 6.7-point film with the appearance and the acting.

      It’s so beautiful to use it in this film. Why do you use the word "Fear of thinking carefully, you taste, you taste carefully."

      At the beginning, the male protagonist sews a tape recorder to Jimen. The work is very fine. I boldly thought that this is an excellent American drama. At the first turning point, I think this film is worth seeing. Who knows it's all The director left a stalk in his mind for everyone! You need to sew the door perfectly by yourself, stitch by...

      As an undercover agent, Joel is trying to survive between the police and the bandits, and the final escape is really too difficult. Pei Chunhua is not an old goddess, and her performance in the film is considered...
