      About freedom and faith

      The suspenseful action film "Jack Reacher" starring Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise follows the omnipotent hero image of the American blockbuster, and this hero who makes the audience unable to judge whether it is a positive character or a negative character is characterized by his agile skills and high altitude. His IQ perfectly demonstrates the qualities that an admirable hero should possess. At the same time, the film also gradually solves the mystery in the development of the complex and the...

      A movie that turned my face green

      First of all, Tom is the main actor, don't expect the drama to be abnormal, okay? There are only a few short episodes in the whole movie. Only at the end of the movie, Tom throws the gun and fights the little boss. It is a small highlight, and it can only be said that it is in this movie, but the little boss is not strong, a few times I just got killed, it's not fun, and besides, I was really pissed off by this plot before. I don't understand why Tang bro throws the gun away and fights the...

      What is a detective murder?

      First of all, "Jack Reacher" is a very good movie, with a compact plot and wonderful lines. Tom's performance is also very sophisticated. It should be regarded as a relatively normal detective crime movie.
        To be honest, the translated names of the Hong Kong version and the Taiwan version are not as wonderful as the mainland Chinese character "Xia". A "Xia" character reveals the unofficial identity of the protagonist, not the official detective of the police station, but just a folk...

    Evaluation action

    Tom Cruise is in good shape. He may not be the 6-foot-5 tall guy described in the original book, but he makes this character fit him perfectly, like a plastic sleeve. ( "Hollywood Reporter" review
    Recher should be a muscular image like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone when he was young. Once he is replaced by a star like Tom Cruise, the film will be less. A lot of fun. Cruise seemed too charming and not cold-blooded, and...
