There was loud thunder and more urine.

As a producer, Tom has built a team for himself. The director had previously won an Oscar as a screenwriter for "The Very Suspect", but this was the first time he directed a movie. There are a lot of peeing points in the 130-minute plot, and Tom’s main task is to flatter and play cool. The other characters are not very prominent, especially the villain is weaker than the other, and Herzog has come to fight back soy sauce. In the end, the shootout between Ah Tang in the rain and the shooting range boss was one of the few and short-lived highlights.

The Soup, the only one in the 100 million yuan club, now has more power to speak as a producer. Most of the directors and actors can be chosen by themselves, such as the third and third films of Mission: Impossible. In the fourth part, JJ, who has always been a screenwriter, and Brad Bird, who has only filmed cartoons, were used. But being a producer also means taking more responsibilities and risks.

Liang Tang should still be very ambitious this time. His team may want to create a lonely hero like Jason Bourne, and use the inexhaustible theme resources of the original novel to do a great job. But for the time being, the opening of this prologue is not so gratifying. I personally expect that the word-of-mouth and box office of this piece in the Mainland will open lower at the same time.

PS: On February 23, the global box office should have broken 200 million. Paramount promised to shoot a sequel if it exceeded 250 million. The small investment Tang made this time.

    Except that the title is a bit attractive, to the middle part is almost hypnotic, no matter the action scene, car chase scene or gunfight, there is nothing outstanding.

    Many viewers automatically classify the film as an action blockbuster as soon as they see Tom Cruise, but this one happens to be a detective, police and gangster film. In fact, the filming is not bad, the narrative and characterization are very Old School, and the drag racing gun battle scene can also be watched. It's a pity that it wants to reproduce the heroic style of the 80s genre film. No matter how accurate the rhythm is, the lack of innovation is still fatal. The case in the film is also thunderous and rainy, making it look like a certain American drama.

Jack Reacher quotes

  • Jack Reacher: Look out the window.

    Helen: No, I've work to do.

    Jack Reacher: Just humor me.

    Helen: And you need to leave.

    Jack Reacher: Okay.

    [Grabs Helen's arm and starts to pull her to the window]

    Helen: Let, let go of me.

    Jack Reacher: Would you tell me what you see?

    Helen: I see the same... things I see every day.

    Jack Reacher: Well, imagine you've never seen it. Imagine you've spent your whole life in other parts of the world being told every day you're defending freedom. And finally you decide you've had enough. Time to see what you've given up your whole life for. Maybe get some of that freedom for yourself. Look at the people. Now tell me which ones are free. Free from debt. Anxiety. Stress. Fear. Failure. Indignity. Betrayal. How many wish that they were born knowing what they know now? Ask yourself how many would do things the same way over again? And how many would live their lives like me.

  • Jack Reacher: You think I'm a hero? I am not a hero. I'm a drifter with nothing to lose. Now you killed that girl to put me in a frame. I mean to beat you to death and drink your blood from a boot. Now, this is how it's gonna work. You're gonna give me the address and I'll be along when I am damn good and ready. If she doesn't answer the phone when I call this number, if I even think you've hurt her, I disappear. And if you're smart, that scares you, because I'm in your blind spot and I have nothing better to do.
