An awkward position in the Jack Reacher series. Brother Tang, what do you think? I'm going to rant all over.

As for the genre series of spy movies, perhaps the nascent "Jack Reacher" series is still queuing up to get a seat in the classic spy movie series.

Speaking of this series, I have to mention the original author of the novel, Richard Richard, a British thriller writer. From "Hell Blues", he became famous in one fell swoop, and has released more than a dozen mystery and suspense novels. The male protagonists of the novels are all Jack, a retired American soldier. Act as a fighter who has opened a plug-in in every difficult case.
Jack Reacher's first film was Richard's eighth novel, The Perfect Suspect, and this year's 2016 Jack Reacher: Never Look Back. It is Richard's seventeenth novel "Never Look Back" published in 2013. Compared with Ethan in "Mission: Impossible", Liang Tang is more taciturn in the "Jack Reacher" series, more rude, and more out of nothing, shaking his head and playing handsome.

The film company did not start with the first novel, the hero Jack, but chose the middle one as the beginning of the movie.
Maybe the response of other novels was not good enough, or maybe it would be difficult to adapt other novels into movies. All in all, from the current situation. If this series can attract a certain amount of fixed audience. Will be another long-running spy-type movie.

So Liang Tang not only has the "Mission Impossible" series, but also a "Jack Reacher" series. In the history of film, it seems that no one has done it if an actor wants to achieve classic roles in two series. It seems that the challenge this time is not small.



But the contradiction lies here. No matter the comparison of the "Jack Reacher" series of movies starring Liang Tang in the horizontal direction, or the comparison of the vertical agent fighting series, the "Jack Reacher" series is in an awkward position. Liang Tang's role as Ethan in "Mission: Impossible" has been deeply implanted in the hearts of the people. Let him create a screen image when he is in middle age. Obviously, the audience needs a certain amount of time to accept it, and the quality of the film itself needs to be done. Very good (but not optimistic for now).

And put the "Jack Reacher" series in a vertical perspective to see all the special agent series, there are already many movies of this type on the market, such as "Mission Impossible", "007", "Bourne Bourne", "Die Hard", etc. It has already carved up most of the market. The competition to join the family of these classic spy fighting series will be fierce and brutal.



And the second movie "Never Go Back" feels like it has completely pulled the series closer to a bottomless abyss. Making this collection a classic is slim. And the second part is far less exciting than the first inference and suspense. The whole movie always feels that even Liangtang has become passive. In addition, Cheng Yaojin, who was killed halfway, was Liangtang's daughter. This combination looks a bit messy.
It is worth mentioning that when I saw Liangtang's face for the first time, all the Internet words came out. Word day! Blue skinny mushrooms! Time really kills pigs. Even our good soup has been stewed into a pot of old soup by time.


So now we are talking about our hero Liang Tang without any trace.
Liang Tang continues to create a whole new world in "Jack Reacher: Never Look Back". Lao Liangtang is still handsome. Before speaking, he must be silent for a few seconds or shake his head confidently and take a deep breath. I don't know how many girls will be fascinated. In other words, in the "Mission Impossible" series, we are looking at the soup that is heroic and desperate, then the "Jack Reacher" series is a mysterious, self-confident soup with zero error in judgment.
If you change to another protagonist, you will immediately lose points for being handsome.
In "Never Look Back", the biggest and biggest flaw is that Brother Liangtang's daughter is not very good in terms of acting skills, and her appearance is average. She only uses her lips to express her emotions. She is the culprit in slowing down the plot. Originally, the reasoning part of this play was not so catchy, if a lot of time should be spent on brewing soup and his daughter's part. Then this movie completely makes people feel bladder distended.


--High-energy spoiler warning, comprehensive spit analysis--

At first, Brother Tang injured a few people, sat in a small restaurant and played handsome, attracted the police, and then told the police that you will be arrested next, because you are trafficking in human beings. Unknown fairy hahahahahaha. The police thought they would follow a big idiot hahahaha, but they didn't expect that the police were really caught by Tom. It seems that Tom and the government have rehearsed for this scene many times.

Then Brother Tang began to wonder who the high-ranking female government official I was working with was like? So Brother Tang started calling and harassing others, and the senior female official was lonely and cold. They became ambiguous on the phone. Tang Brother decided to surprise the senior female official and went to Washington to meet the senior female official in person, and The two made an appointment to meet, eat, drink and watch movies together.
But he never expected that when Brother Tang went to Washington, he was not received by a high-ranking female official, but a high-profile male official, and what made him stunned was that the high-ranking female official was arrested yesterday on the charge of treason. . Word Sky Blue Skinny Mushroom.

Of course, Brother Tang has to find out. So I found the defense lawyer of the high-ranking female official and asked the defense lawyer to have some patriotic sentiments. Barabara said a lot of things to tell the lawyer that things are not as simple as they seem. The lawyer then checked and finally found out that the high-ranking female official was arrested because she was shot and killed on the way to dispatching two soldiers to Afghanistan to carry out a weapons delivery mission. And an additional bit of gossip is that the lawyer also found out that Brother Tong has a 15-year-old daughter! Look, look, this is the photo!
Brother Tang looked at the photo hahaha and laughed dryly and said how could a loner like me have a daughter, stop joking hahaha. Brother Tang said that his body was very honest, so he went to find his daughter overnight. The daughter knew that Brother Tang was following him as if she had her own genes, so Brother Tang's daughter had a casual chat with him.

The next day, Brother Tang was actually summoned to the government office to drink tea, which was really not a good thing. The lawyer who chatted with Brother Tang before died, and the government police did not have any evidence that the low IQ believed that Brother Tang killed the lawyer! What bullshit logic. So for the sake of the plot, Tom was arrested.
Brother Tang thought that this could be close to the prison of the imprisoned high-ranking female officials. The police are also stupid. Washington is only one prison, why are the high-ranking female officials and Tommy in the same prison and the men and women are not separated! So Brother Tang naturally settled the black brother who was escorting him in the prison, put on the police uniform of the black brother, and successfully rescued the high-ranking female official. Happy to escape from prison with the high-ranking female official!

After the escape from prison, Brother Tang finally learned the truth of his arrest from the mouth of a high-ranking female official. It turns out that the two soldiers killed by the high-ranking female official in Afghanistan, from the perspective of the bullet structure, were their own people. And the two soldiers probably discovered some unspeakable secrets. The weapons companies they escorted are big companies that cooperate with the government. I can guess this old-fashioned plot as soon as I guess. The problem must be the improper collusion between the weapons company and government officials. But Brother Tang and the high-ranking female officials are stupid and don't know, and of course they need to find evidence. So they started trying to log in to the government's intranet in Internet cafes.
This investigation revealed the address, and the address was known to the killer sent by the villain, so the killer began to hunt down Brother Tang and the high-ranking female official. A desperate fight followed. After all, Brother Tang is still old. The young, handsome and upright killer beat Brother Tang all over the place looking for his teeth. Fortunately, the police arrived at this time, so Brother Tang and the high-ranking female officials took the opportunity to run away.

Brother Tang and the senior female official could only find the next clue, so they went to the house of the fat senior official to copy the confidential documents, that is, the military reports of the two soldiers killed in Afghanistan in the last few days. After copying it, I found that there was a photo of Brother Tang's daughter in it. I wondered why there was a photo of Brother Tang's daughter in the military intelligence of Afghanistan. Just say it! Is it for the needs of the plot? This turning point is too hard!
So when Brother Tang saw his daughter's photo, he realized that the villain would definitely find where his daughter lived. They rushed to Brother Tang's daughter's house, and as expected, the daughter's landlord was killed. Fortunately, the daughter was clever and hid in the cabinet, so they rescued her, and the three continued to flee.
At this time, they wanted to settle their daughter well, so they found a boarding school for her, but the brainless daughter was actually using her mobile phone, revealing her location, so she could only change positions and continue to flee. I'm going to complain again, this plot is so long-winded , no nutrition. Of course. The little pickpocket daughter stole a wallet and a credit card from school, and they learned that a soldier who had escaped from Afghanistan who knew the truth is now in New Orleans, so they took the credit card and wallet and happily went to New Orleans as a "family of three". ~~

On the plane, our witty BOY Tang brother also found that someone from the villain weapon company was following him, so he neatly knocked down the two tracking people and took them to the mobile phone, and also dialed the phone, the other end of the phone is the front That prime-age killer, Brother Tang and the prime-age killer, you and me, were chatting. It doesn't matter this chat, the witty boy Tom finds that the killer is waiting for them in New Orleans. So Brother Tang and the others continued to flee. The killer fluttered for nothing, you said it or not, you have nothing to chat with, you talked about your position, didn't catch Tang brother! piss you off!
So Brother Tang and the others began to look for the missing Afghan soldier. Brother Tang went looking for the missing Afghan soldier at night. Instead, he had a second encounter with the prime-age killer. The prime-age killer began to threaten Mr. Tang that he would kill his daughter and torture his daughter. , you said this killer child is not childish! He's not MAN at all, and he's all irritated on his daughter. There's a kind of one-on-one fight with Brother Tang, he doesn't! Happens to keep an eye on other people's daughters! Neuropathy!
At this time, the police came again, and the killer had to leave first. The next day, Brother Tang, they found the soldier who had escaped from Afghanistan without any effort. Then the soldier told the truth. It turned out that they were assigned by the government to transport some weapons to Afghanistan. Yes, and it was the weapons company that delivered the weapons, but an explosion occurred on the way. Later, it was discovered that the weapon company had an insider. The insider killed two soldiers of a high-ranking female official, and the soldier escaped and fled back to the United States, taking drugs incognito and living the life of a drug addict.

Well, finally there is a witness, so they called the black brother before, persuaded the black brother to believe them, and asked the black brother to arrest the witnesses at night to make them innocent. Of course, the black brother can't believe it all. He also notified the police by the way, and if he notified the police, the villains of the weapons company would know, because the police and criminals are one family.
So when the black brother went to catch the witnesses at night, the villain sent a pair of special forces to kill them, but how could brother Tang who opened the hook be killed so easily? After a fierce fight, the special forces were killed. Yes, but the witness who was shot was killed. Of course, you are not important anyway. At this time, I'm going to complain again, what about the prime-age killer? ! Why don't you come and kill Tom! Why don't you show up! It's so strange, and what's even more unbelievable is that after this prime-age killer knew the address of Brother Tang's daughter, he went straight to arrest Brother Tang's daughter! Go straight to catch Brother Tang's daughter! Go straight to catch Brother Tang's daughter! How much hatred and resentment do you have towards Brother Tang's daughter! I don't understand, please give me a motive please!

At this time, Brother Tang and the senior female officials were still doing business. They and a large group of black brothers went directly to the headquarters of the weapons company. They believed that the weapons boxes they unloaded must be empty because they had already been sold to Afghanistan. militants. So they went under the cargo plane that the weapons company just arrived, and said confidently, open the box for me, it must be empty!
So they opened the box, the female executive and Tang Ge were instantly petrified, and there were still weapons inside. The high-ranking female official said that she didn't believe others, so she opened another one, so she opened another one, and she also had weapons! Paralyzed! Swollen how possible, give! I! Again! beat! open! one! indivual! So open another one! Still have weapons! Confused? ! The steps are too big to pull the eggs!

Just when Brother Tang and the others couldn't get off the stage, we, both civil and military, were witty, and Brother Tang's mind turned around! Suddenly thought, what if they didn't sell weapons to militants? So Brother Tang smashed the weapon directly without saying a word, wow, the weapon is full of drugs! A full ton! Oye! It's finally cleared up!
At this time, the matter is far from over. The prime-age killer who pretends to be a little public in our inner world is still chasing down Brother Tang's daughter. So Brother Tang and the high-ranking female officials had to go back to save their daughter.

When they returned to the hotel, Brother Tang's daughter had already been put on the head with a gun by a prime-age killer. He also threatened Tom to put the gun down.
At this time, Brother Tang said, let's have a duel between men, shall we? ! That prime-age killer said I don't! People are going to play like this! You put down your gun and I shoot you! Really good MAN!
But Brother Tang, who has the halo of the protagonist, is so brave. The moment he put down the gun, he hugged the killer and jumped off the building together. After the two woke up downstairs, Brother Tang turned on the invincible mode like a small universe broke out. With ten punches, the prime-age killer was instantly killed!

So the matter is over.
I thought something was going to happen to Brother Tang and the high-ranking female official! Because at the beginning, didn't we agree to go on a date, eat, drink, watch movies, and then have sex! In the whole movie, they did not have any intimate action, even pulling! hand! All! No! have! After the case was over, the senior female official continued to be her senior official.
What's more ironic is that Tom's daughter is not his daughter either. This girl is just trying to cheat insurance premiums! And in the end, instead, the girl and Brother Tang became ambiguous! Wait a moment! There are so many twists and turns in the plot to calm me down. . . . .
Do you want to have the cutest age-gap relationship? ! No, it's actually the director who wants a warm ending. But how to look how strange. . . .

——The end of the rant+_+——

Liang Tang was 50 years old when the first "Jack Reacher" was released. Knowing the year of destiny, and the second "Never Look Back" is already 54 years old. So friends who like Liang Soup should hurry up and watch it. After all, in this type of movie, as the age of Liang Soup increases, one less film is made.
