Tekway's Jiang Lang is exhausted

"International Banking" is Tom Tykaway's new film, and of course it was for him. This is a failure to pretend to be a B. It's a bad movie. If you haven't seen it, you don't have to waste your time.
The film tells the story of an Interpol who investigates a multinational bank suspected of buying and selling arms, assassination, political shady and money laundering, and finally finds that no matter what he does, he is a typical stick role. With the bravery and the so-called heart of justice, it is very boring to try to shake a system built by the interests of various governments. The heaviness or despair revealed at the end of the film seems to be very deep, but it is actually bullshit.
The two policemen inside are similar to junior high school students, and they are so amateurish that they would call the victim's family directly to investigate the situation, and leave their mobile phone numbers, completely treating the monitoring system as air. Compared with "Bourne Bourne" and the 007 series, even commercial films are not at the least standardized level. Tekway tried to say that in the context of internationalization, there are only common interests and no justice, which was also explained in "Lord of War". The action scenes in the film are flashy, the plot loopholes are repeated, and the rhythm is a mess, which is unbearable to watch. Personally, I think any 2nd-rate B-level director for this kind of film looks better than him.

    It looks cool, but I don't get it. The British English pronunciation of CLIVEOWEN is so charming

    I was totally out of shape when I watched this movie, so boring! Blind Clive Owen!

The International quotes

  • Umberto Calvini: [In explaining the "true" nature of banking in the world] The IBBC is a bank. Their objective isn't to control the conflict, it's to control the debt that the conflict produces. You see, the real value of a conflict, the true value, is in the debt that it creates. You control the debt, you control everything. You find this upsetting, yes? But this is the very essence of the banking industry, to make us all, whether we be nations or individuals, slaves to debt.

  • Louis Salinger: Based on everything I've read about you, you seem like the kind of man who aspired to die for something more than this.

    Wilhelm Wexler: Well, this is the difference between truth and fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
