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.

    The plot of today's action movies is mostly lackluster, but the story of this movie is not bad, some old-school suspense movie styles. However, the film has a long rhythm, a slow narrative, and a single characterization. Herzog’s villains are too few to attract people~

    I have read Lee Chad's text, read it again, and have a deeper understanding. From the shredding of that pair of cases to the delicate portrayal of the ending shootout, Christopher McQuarrie is largely faithful to the original, an old-school stoic Jack Reacher, as good on the nib as on the camera. Tom's choice to continue working with McQuarrie makes sense, and it's even more unbelievable that a British author has written such a purely American series of novels.

Jack Reacher quotes

  • 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.

  • Gary: I'm gonna need to see some I.D.

    Jack Reacher: Go get Sandy.

    Gary: Well, I need to see something.

    Jack Reacher: How about the inside of an ambulance?
