Burn Notice

Burn Notice: Refers to people who have been notified as untrustworthy in the intelligence field, which is equivalent to being on a blacklist. No other organizations and departments will cooperate with you again.

I didn't expect it to be such a funny style. Just looking at the poster pictures would think it was a more traditional action scene. A person with "normal" emotions, armed with martial arts, is unclear, and has lost bad luck, was kicked out of the organization, and was forced to start living as a "normal person" again, and he had to try his best to find out the truth on his own. . Although it still hasn't broken through some of the traditions and old customs of spy scenes on the screen, the rhythm is tight, the dialogue is witty and humorous, the plot is unexpected, and the style is integrated to a level that can be called unique, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an action comedy. Fans who like hustle, dexter and 007 styles will also like this one.

Starting from the desperate housewives and dexter, I really like the narration in the film, which can explain the background and feelings of the characters, and also has a lot of wit and black humor.

In order to eat, the protagonist Michael in each episode has to do the same work as a private detective. This is an independent story in itself. In addition, it is more important to investigate why you are burn-noticed. There will be many good scenes after this, and it is not of that kind. It's easy to guess, and it's worth seeing.
