    The scene looks big, but the plot is messy, not compact at all, and it's boring to watch. The screenwriter is not clear. Pity for this lineup. Looking at Denzel Washington,...

    Popcorn movie discusses ideological classics

    Such a film has not won the recognition of large-scale awards such as Oscars. It is surprising and unexpected. Oscars and other awards are the main theme of Wannian Family Cards, and occasionally you have to pay attention to the scale not to be 16+ when playing personal signs. Before 9/11, the...

    Full siege

    When encountering the same situation at school, his intuition came at this time. He understood that negotiation and waiting were useless. He couldn't give what the terrorists wanted. They did nothing but let the media see it.

The Siege quotes

  • Sharon Bridger: I ran the network in Iraq for two years. Samir recruited them from among the Sheik's followers and I trained them in the north. The Sheik was going to help us overthrow Saddam, I mean, he was our ally. We were financing him. Then there was a policy shift. It's not like we sold them out exactly, we just stopped helping them.

    [pause]

    Sharon Bridger: They were slaughtered.

    [pause]

    Sharon Bridger: So I uh, quit the operation. I took another assignment.

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: But you helped them first.

    Sharon Bridger: What do you mean?

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: You said they were being slaughtered, they needed to get out, they were on the terrorist watch list, so you got them visas, you and Samir.

    Sharon Bridger: I promised them we would take care of them, they were working for us!

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: Doing what, exactly?

    Sharon Bridger: I told you!

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: No you didn't. You told me that you trained them. Tradecrafts, subversion. That's what you said, wasn't it? You're leaving something out, aren't you, Sharon? You taught them how to make bombs. That's why you were looking for the wiring signatures on that blue bus. And now they're here, doing what you taught them how to do. Right?

    Sharon Bridger: You've got to let me... make this right! Please?

  • General William Devereaux: [announcing the declaration of martial law in Brooklyn] Good morning. Today with the invocation of the War Powers Act by the President, I am declaring state of martial law in this city. To the best of our knowledge we are opposed by no more than 20 of the enemy. He is hiding among a population of roughly two million. Intelligence tells us that he is most likely Arab speaking, between the age of 14 and 30, narrowing the target to 15,000 suspects. We can further reduce that number down to those that have been in this country less than six months. Now you have 20 hiding among 2,000. If you are one of these 20 young men, you can hide among a population of similar ethnic background. Unfortunately for you, you can only hide there. And that population, in the classic immigration pattern, is concentrated right here in Brooklyn. We intend to seal off this borough, then we intend to squeeze it. This is the land of opportunity, gentlemen - the opportunity to turn yourselves in. After sundown tonight, any young man fitting the profile I described who is not cooperating will be arrested and detained. There is historically nothing more corrosive to the morale of a population than policing its own citizens, but the enemy would be sadly mistaken if they were to doubt our resolve. They are now face-to-face with the most fearsome military machine in the history of man, and I intend to use it and be back on base in time for the playoffs. Thank you for your time.
