Safe house, unsafe

The content of the film is a journey of mutual vigilance and mutual dependence caused by two agents because of a blacklist. The performances of the two male protagonists are in place, especially Denzel Washington is still so light, and the other characters are really familiar. Quite a few, the action fists to the flesh is a realistic style, the gunfights and the chase are no exaggeration to the end, the colors are sharp, and the camera shakes gently from beginning to end. This sense of instability is disturbing, but it is related to the movie theme. In accordance with the rhythm, I was surprised by the rapid expansion in the first 40 minutes and the tight grasp of the eyeballs, and then the soothing narrative solving puzzles, but the contradictions were explained very clearly, and the conflicts were not interrupted. At the end, everyone’s destiny was settled, but Because the most intense plots have given the beginning, a little bit of suspicion of being clumsy before and after work. In short, this movie is not particularly brilliant, but it has no flaws. The characters, plots, actions and feelings are comprehensive, and it is worth watching.

These two people, one is the fledgling and motivated newcomer Matt Weston, and the other is Tobin Frost, a legendary veteran who has become a legend for the rest of his life. Weston's present is Frost's past, and Frost's present is also likely to be Weston's future. Weston, a top student at Yale University, has a girlfriend, is pure-hearted and full of patriotic enthusiasm. He has been alone in the safe house for a year. He is completely an outsider. It was not until he and Frost, an old bird, that he really started to enter this dark world.

The world of the intelligence personnel is an absolutely independent and hidden world. In their hands, there are always a large number of people, intelligence, materials, cash and blood that ordinary people can't reach at all. The intelligence personnel walk in the dark. They breathe with lies and eat their sins. They are severely trained to use wisdom and violence infinitely, but people who stay in the dark for too long become a part of the darkness. If you lie too much, you won’t believe anyone, and if the blood is too heavy, it’s gone. Good and evil are black and white. When he is calm in darkness, lies, and sins, he can no longer enjoy sunshine, truth and goodness. Those who have sworn allegiance to the country and the people can easily use the resources in their hands to engage in intelligence, arms and drugs smuggling, and business. Speculation, violent crimes and other evils.

The darkness in this world is so common. Frost, a former excellent CIA agent, found that he had completely betrayed the promise he had made and became the person he once hated, so he fled until he got the share including MI6 and CIA. The list of criminals in many intelligence agencies wanted to sell and was chased by killers by these people. As a last resort, they embarked on the escape road with Westen, and saw this once-self-although Westen was performing the mission for the first time. He was nervous and trembling. He was afraid of killing for the first time, but he never gave up his responsibility. He loved his girlfriend and did not hesitate to reveal his identity in violation of the regulations. He was kind and innocent and had justice. The South African police shot at the crowd and injured the innocent. He was clever and persistent, and the two of them did not lose the wind after several contests. Frost finally couldn't help teaching his remorse lesson by preaching and deeds. In the end, he ventured back to save Westen's life. He was finally injured and killed, but I think he should be calm. : Before dying, he retrieved the faith he had lost, seeking benevolence and benevolence to die well, and having a mantle and heritage, he would simply congratulate him.

The story left a very sunny ending at the end. Westen lived up to Frost’s last request and made the blacklist public. A large number of intelligence personnel were arrested. Under the bright sunshine of Paris, he and his girlfriend looked at each other, but in the end he turned around. How far can he go in that dark world? Could he have a better ending than Tobin Frost? Can the intelligence agency-the country's "Safe house"-not be no longer safe because of the degeneration of insiders?
Good luck
