Let's read the original novel~

People in the city are looking for something, a job, a place to live, a lover, a memory, a dream. Some are looking for another person, some are looking for themselves, some are looking for something, but they can't tell what they are looking for... The

camera starts with a killer killing five passers-by at random, which seems very random To kill, just look for it, aim and shoot. Apparently he might be hiding something. Let the audience sigh, in the end is what? After thinking about it, there must be a causal relationship to form such a topic and suspense, but the movie focuses too much on how to compete with the real murderer, and ignores the focus of interests in the logical relationship. In fact, Brother Tom found the answer long ago, but there were too many obstacles in the process, and there was no way to explain it at once.

Every day there is a disaster somewhere, every day someone breaks up, every day someone succeeds at something, every day someone is unhappy, every day someone opportunistic, every day something hangs in the balance.

I think as a lawyer, I can just defend my client. As for the truth, too much investigation is meaningless to me and the case itself, not to mention that the police have appeared as internal ghosts in common sense, so what else is there to investigate. In fact, what the "inner ghost" said is right, does he have a choice? He didn't.

In fact, I admire that old man named JACK. He had to lose his finger in order to make a living in a Siberian prison. He reasonably explained the price he had to pay in order to survive. He justified that he only took the part that should be taken, so if not With the appearance of Brother Tom, they continued to "work" with money!

For example, the butterfly effect may push this relationship to an unpredictable train due to the occurrence of one event, but human beings are so brave, trying and accepting all of this regardless of their own lives, all choices are not right or wrong, and in the long run From the point of view, only who is more frustrated!

There are winners and losers, and the final outcome is not difficult to guess. The "killer party" died, and Tom continued to wander in the city as a retired "soldier". It is said that there was a foreign teacher in our school who said that he used to serve in Iraq, and another friend also served there. As a result, during the conversation, the Chinese foreign teacher was full of loopholes. The result of the "inspection" was that he lied, and then the Chinese foreign teacher would no longer know Colombia. University study, we suspect that it is only as an auditor or may not be able to find the record of his reading. Sure enough, Chinese foreign teachers are now teaching children in Hefei for small classes, and he continues to stay there as a bridge between Columbia University and Chinese students. Saying this is to say that in the United States, perhaps more young people are honored by serving or that the Chinese feel that they can integrate into them. There are scenes of war in the movie, and it is emphasized that no one was shot and killed at the time of serving for three years, which is a big lie. So are people starving to death in this war?

There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is to see everything in the world and still love it. After all, Romain Rolland

is still in the minority. The plot of the film and novel is very serious and there are few adaptations, so I decided to read the original book. "One Shot" is said to be written by Richard Richard, the "king of British thrillers".

PS. The only good-looking Burberry black trench coat for the heroine in the play is not bad. There are also three characteristics of the police analyzed by Tom. It seems that he can't drive a private car to do errands, he doesn't drive a Cadillac, he can't... I don't remember clearly, but the two police elder sisters next to me laughed, and they were the only ones who laughed.

This film is 130 minutes long, and I have WC3 times. The pace is slow and I wonder if the director is afraid to revise the script, or the screenwriter can stretch it for a long time.

    Such a clichéd movie, with only a few small muscles of Tom, won applause from the audience at the end... The American people are so tolerant!

  • Reginald 2022-04-24 07:01:03

    The rhythm is not tight enough, the narrative and climax are too out of touch, and Tom can't bear without a love scene

Jack Reacher quotes

  • Sandy: [Sandy, Jeb and four other guys all surround Reacher outside a bar]

    [to Reacher]

    Sandy: You still think you're funny now, creep?

    Jeb: Shut your mouth, Sandy! No one is talking to you!

    Jack Reacher: It's your last chance to walk away.

    Jeb: [chuckles] Are you kidding? It's five against one.

    Jack Reacher: [shakes his head] It's *three* against one.

    Jeb: [perplexed] *How* do you figure?

    Jack Reacher: Well, once I take out the leader, which is you, I'll have to contend with one or two enthusiastic wingmen. The last two guys, they always run.

    Jeb: Oh, you, uh, you've done this before?

    Jack Reacher: [reluctantly nods] It's getting late.

    [Jeb moves in]

    Jack Reacher: Remember, you wanted this.

    [Jeb smiles and swings at Reacher, who ducks and elbows Jeb in the forehead, who falls to the ground]

    Jack Reacher: It's okay.

    [helps Jeb up]

    Jack Reacher: Get up.

    [kicks Jeb in the groin from behind, Jeb groans and Reacher pushes him aside with his foot. The other four move in closer]

    Jack Reacher: Okay, let me know who's who. Let's get this done.

    [Reacher easily takes down the other four, with him holding the last guy's foot under his arm. Two of the guys get up and both stare at Reacher with fear]

    Jack Reacher: Really?

    [kicks the last guy in the chest, who screams as he falls to the ground. The two guys run away as the cops come. Sandy runs away as well]

    Cop: [points his gun at Reacher] On the ground.

    Jack Reacher: That's a pretty impressive response time, fellas.

    Cop: Do it!

    [Reacher reluctantly gets down on the ground, next to a groaning Jeb]

    Cop: Hands behind your back.

    Jack Reacher: [to Jeb] Who hired you?

  • Jack Reacher: Look out the window.

    Helen: No, I've work to do.

    Jack Reacher: Just humor me.

    Helen: And you need to leave.

    Jack Reacher: Okay.

    [Grabs Helen's arm and starts to pull her to the window]

    Helen: Let, let go of me.

    Jack Reacher: Would you tell me what you see?

    Helen: I see the same... things I see every day.

    Jack Reacher: Well, imagine you've never seen it. Imagine you've spent your whole life in other parts of the world being told every day you're defending freedom. And finally you decide you've had enough. Time to see what you've given up your whole life for. Maybe get some of that freedom for yourself. Look at the people. Now tell me which ones are free. Free from debt. Anxiety. Stress. Fear. Failure. Indignity. Betrayal. How many wish that they were born knowing what they know now? Ask yourself how many would do things the same way over again? And how many would live their lives like me.
