This has to be the most bland and boring part of the rescue series...

The plot is not completely boring, but many of the conflicts are still very strong.

The protagonist, Lao Lian, is obviously an insurance seller, but he is arranged to bring a former police detective character with a very strong insight and adaptability. Since he is so talented, why would he be reduced to selling insurance? no account...

The villainous female boss appeared in a dick-like appearance, as if everything in the world was under control, but in fact, the execution was very mediocre. She sent a few people to arrest Laolian's family, but was caught by a few patrolmen, such a waste... (The protagonist called the police friend, and the police said that they would arrange for the patrolman to go there, but in fact the friend himself is the villain, so there must be no patrolman to go there, that is to say, those people were just unlucky or too unprofessional, so they were caught by a few big belly. Belly Patrol found and subdued. The black killer she arranged in the car looked very powerful and killed the FBI. But she couldn't beat a 60-year-old man. (Lao Lian switched from a detective to mine now The agent’s grandfather’s character was set up) The female boss finally said on the phone that she had a lot of power behind her, and if she couldn’t kill the informer, she would kill everyone. Everyone thought that the police who came here were all bad people and wanted to take the people in the carriage. It turns out that the bad policeman is actually only Laolian's friend. So who is the force behind the scenes? It's too weak, right? I don't understand. If Lao Lian has evidence, he can testify even if he is not a policeman. As a veteran policeman, this connection is still guaranteed? If Laolian has no evidence, even if he is a policeman, can he still Can it be framed or not? So where is the power of the police badge?

In addition, there is a bug, her wife finally said that her ring has disappeared since the morning, that is to say, the matter of putting Laolian in the case started at least in the morning. Later, the police friend said that I arranged this way for you to make a fortune because you were so pitiful, and that was another afternoon. Either the police friend lied, or the screenwriter got it wrong. If it was a police friend who lied, in fact, he had planned to let Lao Lian do this dirty work. It happened that Lao Lian was fired today, which is a bit of a forced coincidence. If it is said that Laolian's firing was also arranged by a friend, then this is a bit exaggerated. But you said that it was a friend who saw Lao Lian being pitiful and arranged for him to do this to earn some extra money. There is no time to tell. Lao Lian invited a friend to drink, and then went to catch the train. His friend arranged for Lao Lian to do this immediately, was it a bit too hasty. If there is no such thing as Laolian, how is he going to find the informer? Besides, he only killed someone yesterday, and now he should be busy with how to silence the informer. After a phone call from Lao Lian, he would go out for a drink, is it a bit too lighthearted?

The role of Lao Lian is a bit biased. The director tried his best to show that his good man has a responsible image, and tried to use the foreshadowing of family burdens and financial pressure to promote the tension of the following plot. But Laolian's skills were completely unexplained. Why is Lao Lian's insight so good? Why is Laolian's fighting power so strong? There is absolutely no reason for this. The only explanation is that he was a partner with the police 10 years ago, but the police did not get along well. He must not have been very good 10 years ago. Why is it suddenly breaking out now? A killer who can kill even the FBI can't beat a 60-year-old retired policeman who sold insurance for 10 years?

In short, in order to create a narrow story space and a tense and suspenseful atmosphere, this movie handles most of the places relatively bluntly, which is regarded as a relatively bad one in the rescue series.

  • Michael MacCauley: So, I heard something earlier today, a hypothetical question.

    Tony: Uh-huh. What was the question?

    Michael MacCauley: What if someone asked you to do one little thing, something that's meaningless to you, but would affect another passenger on this train? Would you do it?
