A good movie with a simple plot

Because of this film, I fell in love with the actor Keanu Reeves. When I first watched it, I vaguely felt that he looked like a Chinese with a beautiful face, but only later did I realize that he really has one-Nth of Chinese blood. Keanu Reeves was really handsome when he was young, and the small flat head and the blue SWAT battle suit are really handsome! Xiaoji's body is also tough, and the savior in "The Matrix" is the opposite and looks a little weak.

Among them, Sandra Bullock gave me a bright feeling when she appeared on the stage. I was used to seeing the ostentatious dresses of Hollywood women, and suddenly changed my taste. When I saw Sandra's pure dress in that era, there was really a kind of youthful beauty. feel. Maybe Sandra's image has set the tone of the silly big sister from that time.

Personally, I think the ending is very romantic. Although the hero and heroine are in a scrapped car, their unforgettable kiss makes everyone around them forget the painful shadow and huge property loss left by this terrible accident.

The film has a very good rhythm. The main line from the elevator rescue to the bus rescue to the final subway battle always makes the audience's heart reach their throats. There is almost no garbage time in the whole film. As a commercial film, it can be said to be extremely successful.

    Jack: Jeez...

    Howard Payne: You think I wouldn't have been prepared? Two years I spent, setting up that elevator job. Two years I invested myself in it. You couldn't understand the kind of commitment I have. You ruined a man's life's work and you think you can walk away? You got blinders on to the world! But I got your attention now, didn't I Jack?

    Jack: Why didn't you just come after me?

    Howard Payne: Now this is about my money. This is about money due me. Which I collect. $3.7 million. It's my nest egg, Jack - at my age you gotta think ahead.

    Jack: When I find you...

    Howard Payne: Oh, quiz hot shot. There's a bomb on a bus, once the bus goes 50mp/h, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

    Jack: I'd wanna know what bus it was...

    Howard Payne: You think I'm gonna tell you that?

    Jack: Yes.

    Howard Payne: Aha, very good. There are rules, Jack, and I want you to get this right. No one goes off the bus. You try to take any passengers off the bus, I will detonate it. I want my money by 11 A.M.

    Jack: We can't pull that kind of money in time!

    Howard Payne: Focus, Jack! Your concern is the bus. And don't try to call. The radio's down. Now, the number of the bus is 2525, it's running downtown from Venice. It's at the corner of Ocean Park & Main.

  • Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Alright gentlemen, what we have here is 13 passengers in a express elevator. Below floor 30. Bomber's already taken out cables, bomber wants $3 million or he blows the emergency brakes.

    Harry Temple: What's our clock?

    Norwood: He gave one hour. That leaves us twenty-three minutes exactly.

    Swat Cop: Anything else that will keep this elevator from falling?

    Jack: Yeah, the basement.

    Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: The city would like to avoid that event, Officer Traven.

    Harry Temple: We can't just unload the passengers?

    Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: This is an express elevator gentlemen. The only way in or out is through access panels. Bomber's also wired the hatch to trigger the bomb, which seats him in the crazy-but-not-stupid section.

    Jack: Sir, Harry volunteers to examine the device.

    Harry Temple: Yeah, right.

    Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Fine. The two of you check it out.

    Norwood: The nearest access panel is on the thirty-second floor in the lobby.

    Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: I want reports only, we're in a holding patern. Worthy, Briggs, I want you to secure base area, no one in or out. Everyone else, I want you to confirm building evac. Move!

    Jack: [to Harry] Looks like we're walking.
