Another combination of a tough guy and a little loli

The highlight of this film is the little girl Fanning. I feel that this girl was born for the movie, just like Xiulan Dengbo back then, but she is not taking the cute route, but the loli route. Her acting skills are no less than that. A first-line movie star, of course, she should also be a first-line movie star. The feeling of the whole film is similar to "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the combination of a tough guy and a little loli, but the warmth part is relatively more. Denzel Washington also played well, with a unique tough-guy style and a whimsical way of killing people that made Reynolds' ruthless style more interesting. The sharp and artistic editing style is also Tony Scott's signature feature. The shortcomings of the whole film are that the styles of the front and rear parts are somewhat disjointed, and it feels like two movies, which is not as good as "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

Fuentes: [with both his hands tied to the hood of the car] You know, I-I'm a professional.
Creasy: That's what everybody keeps saying. "I'm just a professional". Everybody keeps saying that to me. "I'm just a professional", "I'm just a professional". I'm getting sick and tired of hearing that.
