      British leaders who like to vote

      Churchill once ridiculed: If the British are allowed to engage in socialism in the Soviet Union, a better world situation should emerge, not because the British are smart, but because the British do not like to go to extremes. Just like this film, the British military action, the glass heart of the entire bureaucracy, is not as free and easy and firm as the American leader in dealing with terrorist attacks, but makes the audience who likes instant results anxious beside the screen. British...

      Solidified Western Thinking

      Never tell a soldier that he does not understand the cost of war. - "The Eyes of the Sky"

      This film, which was attracted by the name, was found to be a theme full of anti-terrorism, human nature, war, and political elements that Americans are good at. The story takes place in Somalia, a slum controlled by the fanatical al-Shabaab.

      How much life is worth in your eyes

      In fact, the rhythm of watching the movie has never stopped, but some people feel good after watching it, but they don't feel emotional, and some are really boring, so I keep fast-forwarding and watching it. I said to my mother the other day, "You still complain that I go to the movies all day long. You took me to the cinema a lot when I was young." My mother said before that when Xinhua Cinema was still very good, I probably When she was less than 3 years old when she had no...

      A masterpiece at a low cost

      2021.2.2

      This is the first war movie I'll see in 2021. I have a hunch that this will also be my favorite war movie this year.

      One of the important reasons why I like war movies is that I like swords, lights, swords, and cannons. To give a more specific example: the process of detonating a time bomb in a building - the countdown to the bomb made me hold my breath, the moment the gunpowder exploded, my blood was...

      1. The plot is too fake, the real battlefield will never be like this, and you are still using typing to communicate at the critical moment? Dozens of people will die soon, waiting for the little girl to sell out the bread. If there is a particularly cute puppy next to her, do the virgins want to die for her immediately? 2. There are too many virgins, there are a lot of virgins and virgins, all of them are hypocritical and hypocritical, and they are always sympathetic and compassionate. The...

      The Americans are neat and tidy, while the British are evasive and do not want to take responsibility. For such an important strike, the drone operator hired two newbies and shot a missile with tears streaming down his face. The discretion of its own principles, thanks to the slowness of the terrorists in this film, they did not delay the fighter planes. Is this still the United Kingdom that tried every means to drag the United States to bomb areas at night during World War II? Oh,...

      Purely from the level of screenwriting skills, this film is very well done, without any problems, with a few simple groups of characters, a few scenes, and the storytelling is compact and vivid, which is...

    Evaluation action

    The complexity of the drone warfare in the film triggers a series of strategic decisions, moral crises, collateral damage, and evasive responsibility. It is also the film’s attraction to the audience. The director cleverly blends elements of suspense, thrill and satire. The film is not completely inclined to black humor. This difficult-to-categorize war-themed film still has a lot of laughter, so the audience can't help but compare it...
