      Well...That's Not A Good One But It's Interesting One.

      Although it can't be said that this film is a superior work, it can't be said that it is a good film.
      But I like the feeling of chasing suspense in a small-cost secret room.
      Personally, I think that even if the plot is flawed, it can't stop John from turning into a cold-blooded killer.
      Who can explain the meaning of that nondescript black eye smoky makeup?
      Inexplicable joy, burning eggs... The
      heroine is not even second-tier, but I have also watched a few movies where...

      simple atypical

      If you want to see gunfights, car chases, bed scenes, conspiracy theories, big bangs, you're bound to be disappointed. This movie about agents has few characters - no more than 15 characters combined, and only six with more than 10 lines. , Shao Bai - the words of the leading actor with the most dialogue in the whole play may not exceed 100 sentences, there are few scenes - either night or underground, dark holes, few plots - no conspiracy theories at all, single-line stories, few conflicts -...

      A movie that couldn't be more rough

      This movie is quite rough. In fact, this type of movie should have an extremely complex structure. It is not until the end that everyone will suddenly realize the performance of "Oh ~ so it is". However, the story line is extremely simple. But simplicity doesn't touch the heart like those simple stories. The director of the whole film tried to create a tense atmosphere, in fact, it was nothing but the darkness and the unknown a little scary. The male protagonist is too versatile. When he wants...

      This must be an unpopular movie

      The female protagonist is not coquettish, the male pig is very lazy at first glance, the suspense is not strong, the action is not hot, and there is no even basic love. . . .
      1. The male pig group is group b. Group a was kidnapped by the terrorist trio and issued an order, which led to the incident
      . 2. The terrorist trio, one was sniping outside, the other was directing outside, and the other committed the crime, but after committing the crime, b The group came ahead of time, blocked...

      worth seeing

      When I watch it, my whole heart is suspended, there is no feeling of horror, and some are excited and nervous. Sometimes it is an inadvertent moment that makes us change, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse, who can say that? But I know that the male protagonist is seeing the little girl and the little girl being killed, and he doesn't want to continue killing. In the end, he didn't kill the heroine for himself, maybe this is the beauty of human nature. But the ending was a bit of a...

    Evaluation action

    The Numbers Station is a low-fidelity, high-difficulty thriller. Screenwriter F. Scott Fraser's script is far more interesting than the film itself, a predictable hodgepodge of standard filmmaking by director Kasper Barfoed, with its dimly lit action, And that seriously overworked theme makes the film pretty boring   . ("Los Angeles Times" review)
    The film is a spy flick with no salient points, revolving around a dull and hazy feel...

    Movie quotes

    • Max: [Meredith holding a gun on him] You're shaking now. You're getting angry. You're letting your emotions get the better of the situation. The adrenalin, it's really kickin' in. What I know? The reason that I'm not shaking is because this is a choice not dictated by emotion. This is logic - pure, simple. My boy over there is rated fourth in the world in the Glock 30. You now what that means? What's it mean...

      Derne: It means I could shoot you from Texas.

      Max: Now that's of course exaggeration. But the point still stands, he knows what he's doing. He's a professional. And you're... you. You've already dropped the gun, because this is a choice within a very strict set of parameters. Right now you're in control. What you don't want to do is put him in control. Don't give him the choice. That way is death. That way

      [slowly taking the gun from her]

      Max: is the unconditional end of future choice.

      Max: [she whimpering] That's it. Good girl. Oh, I know, I know. It's always a tough lesson to learn. To realize that you don't have the stomach to do what's needed.

    • Grey: I'll get you a prescription for Ativan, it'll stop your conscience bothering ya.

    • Katherine: What would happen if I'm not here Monday?

      Emerson Kent: Because there'd been a terrible train accident?

      Katherine: No, the train's here, I'm just not on it.

      Emerson Kent: I would have to make a phone call.

      Katherine: You would have to make a phone call?

      Emerson Kent: I would make a phone call.

      Katherine: Company man.
