      disappointing movie

      I can't write any comments, just like after watching this film I feel like I have nothing to say. I originally thought that two actors I liked very much would be able to perform a little suspense and make my heart beat faster! The film turned out to be surprisingly bland, except to let me know that if I were to take a hostage one day, I should pay attention to what the police do!
      The only thing that surprises me is that Denzel's character does commit crimes that can be ignored on our side,...

      Learn slang while watching a movie

      To be honest, this film is completely aimed at John Travolta,

      what is an actor,

      seeing him wearing a chemotherapy cap, sunglasses and a tattoo on his left neck makes me laugh

      , plus the constant "motherfucker" in the show

      . , Xiao Shi is right, I really like perverts.

       

       




      And Denzel Washington's buttocks in "Out of Time" and the face in "The Great Debaters" are still

      envy to actors, and can change their...

      Hijack the subway

      Two of my favorite male stars starred in this remake 35 years after the last one. The plot is still old-fashioned, and it is still one good and one evil who is strongly dissatisfied with the society, using the most extreme means to retaliate against the society. The super rationality of Denzer Washington + the incomparable sensibility of John Travolta come together beautifully. The high score obtained in IMDB should be due to the acting skills of the two, the wrist is the wrist, this plot will...

      I can only say sorry

      That is to say, because of the extra movie ticket and the restriction of movies, I spent money on this movie that I have only regrets after watching it.
      It's a pity that Denzel Washington and John Travolta are two big stars in this movie, because the screenwriter of the film designed the plot to hijack the subway, redemption, and release, which seems too unsatisfactory and wastes the money. Two great actors.
      The tension in the rhythm makes it difficult for me to understand the...

      entertainment and clichés

      A typical Hollywood commercial, even with Denzel Washington's performance, can't hide the cliché and dullness of its plot. Denzel Washington's character reminds me of Samuel L. Jackson's The Negotiator, a similar image of a negotiator, but the difference is the positioning of the two's personalities and technical abilities. Of course, Denzel Washington has also had a movie with a negotiator character, but the final image and plot are very different. In general, this movie doesn't have many...

He was recently embarrassed by an incident that his superiors were investigating his case of taking bribes, so Gabo wanted Suspended for inspection and served as a subway dispatcher, though.

    Evaluation action

    "Metro Cry" is a robbery-themed movie. The hero of the film is a decent hero with no military background. It is fundamentally different from robber films such as "Running Dragon" and "Highest Crisis". The role focus is not It is to show the process of rescuing the hostages. The film shows the complete criminal process of the robbers and the conflicts between the police and the bandits during this process. How the robbers get out of...

      Ryder: Do I sound like a terrorist? Do I terrorize you?

      Walter Garber: Actually you don't, but not that I've ever talked to one. So, so... what, this is just about money?

      Ryder: Oh, is there anything else?

      Walter Garber: There's not dying.

      Ryder: Yeah, well you know you live, you die, you either go with the current or you fight it. We all end up at the same place.

      Walter Garber: Where's that, Jersey?

      Ryder: Yeah, you watch it I was born there man.

      Walter Garber: You know I'm just saying, you know you're up in a motorman's cab... so that means you know you're on the radio, which means that you're an easy target. You gotta know the drill.

      Ryder: Yeah, I know that soon I won't be alone and If I'm the first to get shot... I'm the first of many to get shot.

      Walter Garber: That's correct, but then you'd still be dead.

      Ryder: Dead is an improvement on a lot of things I can think of, buddy boy.

      Walter Garber: She... wasn't happy, but she understood.

      Ryder: Well, that's love right?

      Walter Garber: No, that's marriage... that's another thing.

    • Ryder: [describing Garber's voice] He's got a sexy voice though, man. He'd be my bitch in prison.
