      The plot is illogical, but the presence of Nicole Kidman makes it seem reasonable

      This rating made me hesitate for a long time, but Nicole was so attractive, and it was only a film that barely passed (because of Nicole). I found out that I just watched the director's "Edge of Tomorrow". Maybe he is not good at this kind of film? Spoiled such a good cast and started a good story. From the moment the hero woke up the next morning and broke free of the rope, the whole story collapsed, and the director gave up his efforts.

      The male protagonist John looked dull and dull...

      Love only strangers



      Although the blue cat who lives alone still sees news such as "Meeting netizens, robbing money and robbing sex" and "A certain sub-president saw a female netizen and was stabbed to death", but still can't resist the powerful offensive of online love. . The reason is probably that the familiar environment cannot produce love. The female colleague next to her can see the leek leaves clearly on her teeth when she eats. She even knows that the main ingredient in her cosmetics is...

    Movie quotes

    • John: I'll give you a tune later.

    • John: [first lines - to the camera] Running, reading, going out, staying in, countryside, films - if they're good. Intelligent, of course, kind, pretty - I suppose, but it's not critical. Someone you can *really* talk to. I think communication is key.

    • Sophia: If you just wanted sex, go to a prostitute.

      John: Well, as it turns out, I did.
