Would you like to use your life to protect a person?

Frank, a retired federal agent, worked as a bodyguard when Kennedy was assassinated. The president was killed because of a moment of hesitation, which left an indelible shadow in his life. On the other side, a professional killer, Mickey, had worked for the CIA. After being dismissed, he was unwilling to assassinate the current president as a shame. Both sides are pretentious and downhearted people, standing on different lines of fire to fight a life-and-death battle. Would you like to use your life to protect a person? Mickey always said that Frank did not have the courage to block the shot for the former president, but Frank finally blocked the shot for the current president. Frank was hijacked by Mickey and got into the elevator, and the sniper couldn't see the situation inside. I can imagine that if the sniper is a little careless, it might be him! When Mickey was about to fall down the elevator, he reached out to rescue him, he said, it was his job. Mickey also saved Frank before. I think although Mickey may be psychopathic, he really regards Frank as a friend. Finally, Mickey gave Frank a message, but his message was that he thought he had killed the president and Frank had no life for himself. "Goodbye, and good luck." In fact, the most chilling thing about this drama is that even though Frank used to be a very good agent, but people can't make it to the time after all. He is running so hard and trying so hard to catch criminals. No mercy~ When Frank said that the president was in danger, they did not believe him and transferred him elsewhere for their own benefit. After Frank saved the president and dealt with the killer, they began to admire him and compare them. Actually think about it. Isn't that true in our daily life? The kind of person who doesn’t know you when I have something to do~ I’ve seen several Eastwood movies and I feel that his role is the kind of western cowboy who is very arrogant and strong. Eastwood really His eyes full of folds are all drama! ! The difference between this drama and the one I have seen before is that there is an emotional drama here, and then Frank and the woman are together, and the picture is very beautiful.

    The director's handling of the commercial thriller genre is quite high, and John Malkovich's performance is also amazing. The main problem is that some parts of the script are not credible enough (such as the bullet that enters the scene at the end), the heroine's emotional line and the main line The fusion was not good (commercial films in that era were generally flawed), the younger generation did not have enough roles (forcibly separated by the heroine's emotional line), the overall event design was not simple enough that it would become a running account later, etc. Morricone's score is a little off the beaten track, but it's still beautiful.

    6.5/10 points. Replay, Blu-ray. When I saw it, I thought I hadn't seen it, but I finally found out that I had seen it. . . Overall, although there are a few bright spots, the plot is generally too old-fashioned. . . The emotional drama is purely redundant. . . Not as good as a few years later, Bruce Willis' The Jackal (1997), which is much more interesting. . .
