A little disappointed, but Tom is still handsome

It feels like a domestic movie. Compared with those big productions that just pretend to ignore logic, it is full of sincerity, because it always gives you a small logical explanation when you are about to scold your mother, so that you can't scold. The rhythm of the film is too fast, and it always gives people the illusion that the background of the story is not clearly explained, and it starts racing, which makes people uncomfortable. For example, why did Brother Tom devote himself to saving people without hesitation because he called the consultation and helpline a few times. in the tense part? Why must the syndicate feel that Tom is suspected of sabotaging their plans? ? This is where the logic of the story is particularly hard. There are also several places that are difficult for individuals to understand. First, can Washington be run by killers? Second, to what extent does the criminal group collude with the military to infiltrate the military community and kill? Third, the girl knew that it was Tom, why didn't she know it at first? ? Fourth, what's the point of the argument about feminism and sexism that Tom and the hostess had no sign of in the hotel? ? Isn't the director trying to increase the length of the film? Fifth, in the end, Brother Tom and the villain fought for a long time after they fell downstairs. Why didn't the heroine show up to help? ? For such a long time, is it enough to go back to the toilet to take a bath? Just to show that Tom is awesome? ? Finally, there is another very important question. Brother Tom and the hostess chatted about the case for a while in the taxi. Is that a military secret? Dare to talk in a taxi? ?

But the one who admires the director the most is that although he makes Tom very awesome, he is not as proficient in martial arts as the male protagonists in Spy Impossible and 007, especially in some plots, you are basically going to scold your mother. , the director handled it skillfully and then the audience was relieved. For example, Tom and the others went to the Internet cafe to check the information. As a vast audience who read the film, it was a sure thing to be positioned. When the audience was about to scold the movie for being mentally handicapped, Brother Tom said: This will be positioned, or not begged. Holy crap, I think this is a good deal.

In a word, low cost is inherently insufficient, and the plot is delicate and acquired. OK, not bad!
