The story is that the dormitory of oil company employees and their families in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, was attacked by suicide bombs and terrorists, causing heavy casualties. Just when the US government was still thinking about what diplomatic means to use to deal with this situation. A terrorist attack, and the investigation team led by FBI special agent Lon Nol Ferrory, immediately went to Saudi Arabia, ready to spend five days to find the mastermind behind the bombing.
The scene was pulled from the United States to Saudi Arabia. In addition to the rare filming of films in Saudi Arabia, the location of the terrorist activities was also moved to the United States, and the terrorist activities that began were also frightening. The taste of "The Jungle in Fire", but the tight plot at the beginning of the film was tediously laid out in the back, and instead lost that tense feeling, to the point where I felt that director Peter Berg was suddenly taken on by Michael Mann, Suddenly become another director. Anyone who has seen Michael Mann's works should know that there is always a very long layout in the middle of his works. At the end, it is like a flat thunder, suddenly giving you a few better than before. The kind of shock of Beiwei Li, the recent "Miami Vice" has a very similar feeling to this movie, and the final ending will end with a big shootout for him, but obviously Peter Berg's skills are not as good as McCoy Mann, some The bridge is good, but it still makes people feel sleepy.
The title of the movie is very sensational. In recent years, there have been many movies related to terrorist activities, and there have been many classic horror movies in the past. This movie was directed by an action movie director and starred by male and female stars who are good at acting in action movies. Such a lineup makes people look forward to it, but the movie titled "Counter-Terrorism Battlefield", although it is not like selling dog meat, but the movie gives me the feeling that the text is out of question, rather than focusing on anti-terrorism, it is more like a movie. Police and bandit movies, the search for evidence and the pursuit of clues, the focus is on this place, but the focus is not on "anti-terrorism", which makes people feel somewhat disappointed. People see what the audience sees and wants to see in the movie.
The movie is not without merit. Although it is mentioned in the introduction of the movie that under two different customs and conditions, the conflict under the handling of the case and the way of handling the case are quite novel themes, but the sense of conflict is not enough. The filming is more criticized, but the actor Ashraf Bam is very eye-catching, full of sense of justice, responsibility, and finally sacrificed his life for the country. The movie always has the feeling of wanting to give people a big goal and a general direction , especially in the role of Faris played by Ashraf Bam, which adds a lot to this movie. If this role is missing, this movie may be much inferior. His role is what I admire the most in this movie. place.
In the end
, I don’t know if the higher the expectations, the higher the disappointment, or the movie can’t find something that I really like. I have a good evaluation of this movie, but the evaluation of the movie website is polar, maybe different people have different From an angle, this movie will have a different feel, but for this movie I prefer Rotten Tomatoes to IMDB.
