The novel itself is very general, and the adaptation has not been optimized to become such a freak. The director's own talent is also limited, so there is no particularly high-scoring film, and the agent Salt is also attached to Angelina Jolie's light.

The eyes of the retired agent are too soft. I don't know if the script is a problem or the actor's problem. When facing terrorists, he is like a passerby who accidentally inserted himself, but he has a skill and no mentality.

In the first scene, the protagonist inadvertently intervened in a terrorist attack, and he was also injured a little in the shoulder, but he was dodging in the face of the criminal's eyes. . . The terrorist asked the police if my brother was dead. The police quickly tested and answered honestly that he was dead. . . This is a screenwriter's spoiler, because the later story revolves around this villain, so all the decent guys in the early stage are facing him, and their momentum is weaker by three points, because if you accidentally kill the villain, there will be no later plot.

A terrorist of this level still has to confront the male protagonist in court, which is too insulting to the CIA... Harrison Ford finished his performance from beginning to end. Failed messily.

A retired agent intervened in a terrorist attack. The terrorist finally escaped and decided to take revenge on the agent. What a good underlying logic. If you are a normal screenwriter, there are two areas that can be optimized. First, the part where the villain escapes must be more bloody and violent, highlighting the strength of the organization, and conspiracy and planning. In the first scene, you dare to directly assassinate the British royal family. Weak.

Second, after the villain is caught, the interrogation has to be stricter... Until he was kidnapped, he didn't get hurt at all. Leaving cleanly, very speechless, and in the cell, he can still face the newspaper portrait of the male protagonist on the wall every day. , rather than pushing the camera to another insignificant villain.

Third, the two actions against the male protagonist should be combined, because the first time was too mentally retarded... just start it directly at the gate of the Naval Academy, ok, if you want to play a big scene, you can be cruel, but you must do it enough Get ready... But I guess the United States will not agree with such a plot, but it has been frequently seen in China recently, and the gangsters casually killed the Flying Tigers as chickens.

If the action against the male protagonist is only aimed at the male protagonist, it will appear too weak, and it should be made into a series, not only to retaliate against the male protagonist, but also to continue the terrorist's own business, otherwise it will appear that the terrorist is too weak, even The faith is gone, so what are you doing terrorists? ? ?

Now this version is simple, a few people rushed to the male protagonist's house to fight against each other, and the story was over, definitely not working.

    Some of Noyce’s designs are fresh. For example, when his accomplice rescued Sean Bean, he only photographed the vibrations in the prison car, not the exterior scenes of the convoy being attacked. The whole picture was also filled with a beer color and contrast. The slightly stronger processing was better used in the later "Human Bone Puzzle", and the narrative tone was also stable. In short, it is the classic 90s spy and action film aesthetics. I think of some old pictures from 20 years ago. The whole film is the largest The highlight is the remote cleanup of terrorists in the Libyan desert. This game-like warfare method of staring at the screen has become popular in later films such as "Eye in the Sky" and "Benevolent Killing." The script didn’t work. As a CIA officer, Ford accidentally smashed into an Irish terrorist’s assassination and incurred retaliation from the other party. The plot involved a little bit of trouble within Ireland. So why not fill in the Irish branch line that can not avoid the death and injury? Jackie Chan's "British Showdown" did a lot better on this point. The end is also the problem, Ford must be fine, so what's the point of the shooting in those dim scenes?

    A mindless revenge story. It has to be bluntly associated with Northern Ireland, politics, terrorism, and extremism. The only things that are interesting are the satellite photos and the live broadcast of the raid.

Patriot Games quotes

  • Marty Cantor: They were moving him to Albany Prison in the Isle of Wight while it happened. We think he's left the country.

    Admiral Greer: Marty, excuse me. Let's deal in what we know and not what we don't. We know he's escaped. We know it happened in Kent near the Channel. If he's left the country... Jack, listening? The chances he'd come here, that he'd try, that he could come here are so remote, I have trouble even saying it.

    Jack Ryan: And yet your first instinct was to come all the way here and tell me.

  • Kevin O'Donnell: There's laying about and laying low. There's a difference.

    Sean Miller: Is there?
