      The Negotiator--Trust Between Strangers

      At the beginning of this film, it introduced the excellent kung fu of black people, and then the plot took a turn for the worse. As a computer hacker, the fat man played a role in promoting the plot, but the police website had been hacked for so long and it was still a bug, and then the fat man finally revealed the person involved. After speaking, the fat man was attacked and killed, and then the black and white negotiators tried to escape the scene. The two unfamiliar people trusted each...

      The Negotiator--Here Is A Injure Cop

      I asked a friend for a few movies a few days ago, and he recommended this movie called "Ace Vs. Ace." I have to admit, if it wasn't for him, I would probably have missed another title that didn't translate well, but it's definitely a movie worth watching.

      The whole film, from the arrangement of the plot to the visual effects given to the...

      An example of how eloquence decides fate

      Danny was originally the top and most glamorous negotiator of the Chicago Police Department, but he just lived a full life after getting married, but overnight, he fell into the biggest dilemma in his life: he was not only framed as the murderer of his close partner, but also saddled. The crime of embezzlement! Under the situation that he is about to be imprisoned without a way to complain, for the sake of his gentle wife, Danny resolutely adopted the excellent tradition of American preemption...

      Is the last shot at the boss really a gimmick?

      Danny's last shot reminds me of the rescue operation at the beginning of the movie. When the criminal was knocked to the ground Danny took the gun on the ground with trembling hands and pointed it at the criminal. I don't know why his hands are like this, maybe it's because the success of the event excites him, or maybe it's because the criminal kidnaps his daughter that makes him angry. The trembling hands express the inner contradiction and conflict. Until his friend said to him; are you ok?...

      KS' characters seem to give me a feeling

      The situation is very tricky, the environment is complicated, but he is calm and calm, and the speed of speech is steady and calm, and it makes people calm down when they hear it (of course I think this has a lot to do with his accent.. It's very magnetic to me!!) Like in House of Cards, in Very Suspects, Los Angeles Confidential, K-Star Hacker, Seven Deadly Sins, I don't seem to have seen him flustered before and asked my mother what I should do.
        This calm is obviously a rich...

      After years of procrastination, I finally finished it! ! ! Really handsome! ! Uncle Spacey is still very handsome when he doesn't play BT middle-aged cheating man and depressed middle-aged shrink~~~ But to be honest, they are too deceived, and they can cover the sky with one hand. . . If you change it to a Hong Kong drama, it will definitely be a lot of twists and...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film was dedicated to the late actor J.T. Walsh.
    The script of the film was originally written for Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Spacey. The two played Serbian and Roman respectively. When Stallone refused to appear in the film, Spacey wanted to play Serbian instead. , So Samuel Jackson got the role of Roman.
    The crowded scene outside the building was filmed on two nights in September 1997. It was shot every day from 5 pm to 7 am the...

    Evaluation action

    Although Spacey didn't really enter the theme until the middle of the film, with the superb acting skills of the two actors and the clever setting of the plot, the relationship between the two reversed several times, which can be regarded as a classic of the two heroes changing from enemy to friend.
