The terrorist bombings at the beginning of the film, the militants seen everywhere in a city of a sovereign country, and the duplex S-turn entrance at the entrance of the official military zone are things that people in a peaceful country in peacetime have never experienced.

As an ancient civilized country that has been regarded as a developed country until modern times, China had a situation in which even in peaceful times it would be in chaos, local social turmoil, and people’s lack of livelihood. But that was in the ancient times when cold weapons were dominant, and human destructiveness was still greatly restricted. However, the political situation and system of the Middle East countries have to be said to be at a low level. Government forces and free armed forces coexist, and terrorist acts occur from time to time. In the Chinese people’s thinking, the "broad day and bright universe" in the Chinese people’s thinking is the same as the shooting and the same people. kill. I feel that no matter which country or group sells weapons and technology to these countries in the Middle East, it is like handing the nuclear bomb launch button to a child who has no self-control ability. It is easy to destroy others or destroy oneself in a flash. In this era of advanced weapons, the limitation of human destructiveness can be said to be much less than before.

We should be thankful that no nuclear weapons are in the hands of terrorists, but we don't know how long we can be thankful, because we all know that it is only a matter of time. If human beings cannot solve the problems of hatred and killing, the end of self-destruction will no longer only happen in science fiction stories.

The film itself does not express much, and the presentation method is not rigorous. But I think it is enough as long as it reminds us that there are so many problems in this world that need to be solved urgently.

    The FBI's 4-person team went to the Middle East to investigate terrorist cases. In 5 days, it was a great success, not only cracking, but also capturing the leader of the terrorists, a heroic genre film that Americans are accustomed to. The culture clashes are tense, the final shootout is tense, and the camera shakes a lot. Remarkable.

    2008-Apr-04 With Tintin had a good start, but the scramble afterward was too ridiculous. The FBI is not a lonely hero.
