did not make it

The first time I saw it, in one sentence, it was weird. The story line is divided into two, one Jackie Chan, one Brosnan, Jackie Chan is just an asker, doing one thing from beginning to end, holding on to Brosnan, constantly making explosions and threatening Brosnan, asking who the terrorist is , killed the terrorist after getting the answer, and then exposed Brosnan. Therefore, every time Jackie Chan asks, a series of political plots are drawn. As an action movie, it is not enough to be impacted by politics, and the political fight is not enough to watch without intense behind-the-scenes means. For all beings who are used to watching movies where the protagonist relies on love, wisdom and superb ability to chase down a thread to find the truth and then achieve the goal, the film "British Showdown" is really not enough to watch. Any spy war genre films, from the "007" series to the "Bourne Bourne" series to the "Mission Impossible" series, which one is not a showdown between the pros and cons? The stronger the villain, the stronger the decency. The villains in this movie are so underwhelming. Brosnan is also a victim in the strict sense, the villain is very incomplete, and his most capable subordinates did not fight Jackie Chan to death, but reached an understanding with Jackie Chan. The terrorists who really killed Jackie Chan's daughter were basically young and young. Jackie Chan used half a bag of cigarettes to clear the scene under the nose of the anti-terrorist troops. After watching the whole movie, there was a kind of random teasing for a long time, but there was no feeling of climax.

The Foreigner quotes

  • Liam Hennessy: You killed my dog.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Dog's fine. Just sleeping.

  • Quan Ngoc Minh: [opens coat] I'm wearing a bomb. Anyone comes in, I touch it one, then we die. Now, give me the names.

    Liam Hennessy: They claim to be IRA, but I don't know who they really are. I'm doin' everything I can to find out who's responsible.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [puts gun to Hennessy's head] You're lying! Who killed my daughter?

    Liam Hennessy: I'm sorry! I truly don't know yet!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [pause] The explosive the bombers use, it's Semtex-H?

    Liam Hennessy: [nervous] Yes. Yes. You know about Semtex?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: I know Semtex-H. During the war Czechs make for the army. Good for bombs and traps.

    Liam Hennessy: In Vietnam?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Yes. Many American people died by Semtex-H. Now, IRA use to kill my daughter. That's ironic.

    Liam Hennessy: I've read your history. We both know about war. We've both tried to put it behind us. You and me, we're alike.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [backhands Hennessy in the face] We are NOTHING alike. You're NOTHING! You kill women and children! NAMES!

    Liam Hennessy: To Almighty God, I don't know!

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [cocks the gun]

    Liam Hennessy: WAIT! Wait! I've set a trap for them when they use the next bomb. When they claim responsibility for the next bombing, they'll use a code word, telling the police they're IRA. I've changed that code word. So when they use it, I'll know.

    Quan Ngoc Minh: [lowers the gun] You have one day.

    Liam Hennessy: ...what if they don't set off a bomb by then?

    Quan Ngoc Minh: Twenty-four hours.

    [leaves]

    Liam Hennessy: ...Jesus. Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus.
