Play the advanced point that you want to play?

It can be said that the first 40 minutes of this movie is a very good suspense film. I can give it a full five-star review, but it was a 40-minute suspense at the beginning. Why do people want to arrest the male protagonist? Who is Kai in their mouths? Pullin, these key doubts, but 40 minutes later, through a brief meeting of the FBI, and he made it clear.

I'm really puzzled, obviously I can use this as a suspense point and keep it until the end, just like how sacred the mother of the male protagonist in Psycho is, Yan Fat just doesn't play cards according to the routine, I will tell you the answer, and then a Looking at the progress bar, there are nearly 100 minutes of plot.

The most incomprehensible thing is the second suspense point. The heroine also revealed her identity not long after she appeared, making this suspense film abruptly turned into a love story. I don't quite understand the purpose of this. what is it?

Of course, the shooting techniques of many scenes in the movie are still very good, and the plot is not so bloody at least. I also understand why Yan Fat does not have a movie with a rating of more than 9. Is it possible that the current concept can not understand his movie well?

A decent movie, really disappointing.

    I don't know if so many imitations later established the classic status of this film, or weakened his brilliance. Yes, the crop plane chase is stupid, but think how much Hollywood likes to use this stupid but dazzling scene later on.

    The plot is stupid, the movie is too long, and the suspense is small, but it's just beautiful. The long shot in front of the plane chasing people is really good!

  • Phillip Vandamm: Mr. Kaplan, you are quite the performer. First you're the outraged Madison Avenue advertising executive who claims that he has been mistaken for someone else. Next, you play the fugitive from justice supposedly trying to clear himself of a crime he knows he didn't commit. And now, you're the jealous lover spurned by love and betrayal.

    Roger Thornhill: Apparently the only performance that will satisfy you is when I play dead.

    Phillip Vandamm: Your very next role, and you'll be quite convincing, I assure you.

  • Roger Thornhill: Now, what can a man do with his clothes off for twenty minutes? Couldn't he have taken an hour?

    Eve Kendall: You could always take a cold shower.
