"Assassination Stronghold" should be considered a recent North American hot film, with good box office and reviews. The story is really good. Although the terrorists failed for a little girl in the end, it seems a bit too "human", but the whole is very complete and compact, and quite innovative, and it is quite true and accurate in some details. Of course, what this film allows everyone to talk about the most is its narrative structure similar to "Rashomon", from five perspectives to see this seemingly assassinated president but actually hijacked the president. But in fact, it is not quite the same as "Rashomon". The multi-angle narrative of "Assassination Stronghold" is to advance the plot. The long car chase at the end of the film is quite exciting, with the style of "Bourne Bourne" and the super classic car chasing scene reminiscent of the "French Drug Network".

Mark Reinhart: Good morning, America. It's now 12 noon in Salamanca, Spain. In a short time, world leaders from over 150 countries meet here in Plaza Mayor to sign up to President Ashton's bold new counterterrorist strategy. Since 9/11, more than 4500 people have been killed in the rising tide of global terror. Those lives will not soon be forgotten as today, the world comes together to take a stand against this violence. We may be on the brink of a historic agreement between Western and Arab leaders. Security services are on high alert in Salamanca, where we now go live to our news team on the ground and our reporter Angie Jones.

Mark Reinhart: Reports out of Salamanca now suggest that the President is out of intensive care. His condition is listed as stable. President Ashton has made a point of reassuring Americans that he's all right and the summit will continue in the days to come. Meanwhile, word from Spanish and United States authorities is that they've shot and killed the lone assassin responsible for today's attack. Our own Joan Kendrick has more.
