      Alternative spy action movies that don't hide their flaws

      I was very interested after watching the trailer, but it didn't show! Had to take advantage of the plane to watch the film, the effect is greatly reduced.

      The biggest flaw of this film is that the overall setting is rather inexplicable, but the story built on it is magically flesh and blood, with laughter and tears, and I have to say that half of the credit is due to the special combination of the heroine Nanzhu. Originally, Kristen Stuart was at the top of my blacklist of actresses,...

      Just like crap

      Text/Dream Poetry and Book

      Diaosi's Counterattack to Become a Special Agent is not impossible to be a wonderful comedy action movie like "Ace Agent", but the so-called "Dormant Agent" setting of "Waste Agent" was difficult to attract attention from the beginning, and As it unfolds, the humor of love is not only blunt and rigid, but also the bloody violence is unbelievably amazing, just as mediocre as waste wood.

      A mediocre work with good foreshadowing but lack of stamina

      Black humor + a lot of blood plasma + true feelings in the world + absurd divine twist, I only take Simon Pegg's blood and ice cream trilogy for this type of film.

      This film is quite interesting from the moment when the protagonist is activated to the massacre at the police station. I didn't expect it to go down all the way after that, slipping more and more into the abyss of plain and mediocre. The bright spot makes people yawn in minutes.

      I won't tell you it's a comedy

      The film tells about the plain life of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, but the male protagonist has been "transformed" a long time ago, and has different abilities from ordinary people. When the male protagonist wants to ask for marriage, the bad guy appears and wants to kill the male protagonist. Lord, so the fight began, but the male protagonist never imagined that his girlfriend would come to spy on him. The male protagonist was disheartened, but he still loved the female...

      A very funny action movie romance~

      I just watched the useless agent, and I didn't want to read it after hearing the name, but I didn't expect it to be full of surprises after watching it! It seems that there has never been a film of this type before, especially the translation is so funny! Many of them have used the current buzzwords, I believe you will like them. There was no urination in the audience, the heroine has always been beautiful, and the hero changed his hairstyle and became handsome at the end!
      The setting of...

    Evaluation action

    The film is full of creativity and a romantic film. The director cleverly uses the super mashup of the geek genre. Under the guidance of the two leading actors, the film presents a crazy, clever and intelligent energy to the end of the world. The use of personality is also the charm of the movie subject matter. It looks very aggressive, gentle and muddy. (Sina Entertainment Review) 
    The film has the style of "The Bourne", but it is...

    Movie quotes

    • Mike Howell: Leave me alone! Get off of me!

      Phoebe: Mike, relax!

      Mike Howell: Look, I just need to know. Am I real?

      Phoebe: Yes, you're real.

      Mike Howell: Are your parents really dead? Okay, how much of everything that you've ever told me is just a complete lie?

      Phoebe: Not everything is a lie.

      Mike Howell: No, please don't use your grown-up voice with me. No, I was in love with you. I am in love with you. I don't even know who you are!

      Phoebe: [crying] Fuck, Mike!

      Mike Howell: No, you don't get to fake cry with me, okay. They probably train you how to do this, don't they? To fuck with my emotions. Okay, well stop it. Please stop it. Hey! Stop it, okay! Fucking stop it!

      Phoebe: I'm not lying anymore. Just give me one chance. I'm not going to lie to you anymore.

      Mike Howell: Get out. Get out of my car.

      Phoebe: No. No, Mike. I can't!

      Mike Howell: Get out of my car, okay!

      Phoebe: It's my fucking car!

      Mike Howell: Then get out of the car! Okay!

    • Victoria Lasseter: Do you remember when you were arrested when you were 18 for the acid? That was when we first met. I was recruiting for a program called Wiseman. Which was basically designed to take third strike misdemeanor offenders and offer them the opportunity to volunteer.

      Mike Howell: Volunteer? For what?

      Victoria Lasseter: To be an experiment.

      Mike Howell: An experiment?

      Victoria Lasseter: Yeah.

      Mike Howell: That was a mistake.

      Victoria Lasseter: No, but Mike, you worked. All the other subjects that came in, they were all failures. But not you. You were a success, but it was driving you insane. It was driving everybody insane. The risks weren't worth the rewards. So I shut it down, and I gave you all new lives and new identities. A fresh start here.

      Mike Howell: Yeah. So you erased my memories and you fucked with my head. And you left me here with a fake girlfriend.

      Victoria Lasseter: This isn't who you always were. The slow thinking, the inability to leave town. The phobias. We did that to protect you.

      Mike Howell: To protect me? Well, tell that to the guys who are trying to kill me.

    • Mike Howell: If I die, I'm going to do it stoned and smiling in my bed.
