March Film Review (2)
Julianne 2022-03-22 09:01:18
The train really seems like a good place to kill time, and Red Flame is another typical Hollywood blockbuster. The plot is tense and orderly, and heroism is laid out. A group of retired CIA employees break free from the danger of assassination to find the killer and counter the enemy. It feels that everyone has a hero complex in their hearts, so this kind of film is like a shot in the arm, allowing people to rise up bravely and face the difficulties in real life. But chicken blood can't be played at any time, it can be done occasionally.
Extended Reading

Joe Matheson: We're gettin' the band back together.

[Frank calls Cooper on the phone; Cooper is told to stall him while the call is traced]
Frank Moses: Here's the thing, Cooper. With age... comes a certain perspective. I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a time when I was exactly like you. Blind ambition. Misplaced trust.
William Cooper: Why are you telling me this?
Frank Moses: It may help me to decide what to do next.
Interrogation Surveillance Tech: [technician tracing the call whispering to Cooper] Just keep it going.
William Cooper: Why? What are you thinking about?
Frank Moses: Our business is a very hard one. But it was never the, uh... the killing or the stress, the bad pay that bothered me.
William Cooper: Well, what was it, Frank?
Frank Moses: It's how anything that you love... can be taken away from you. It taught me never to care. Never to invest. Then I met this woman. Sarah. And now you have her. Now I can't think of anything more horrible than to know that your enemies can hurt someone you love. The feeling is almost indescribable.
[the trace completes, and the technician hands Cooper a printout]
Frank Moses: You still there, Cooper?
William Cooper: [horrified] You're at my house
[Frank looks out the window into the yard where Cooper's wife and two children, unaware, are playing]
Frank Moses: Almost indescribable, isn't it?
William Cooper: [whispering] Please... Please don't hurt my family.
Frank Moses: If anything happens to Sarah, I will rip everything you love out of your life. And then I'll kill you.
