chose this film because of the confrontation between the two movie stars on the promotional film. It's always exciting to watch the masters play tricks. In the play, one is a dispatcher who redeemed himself in the end in order to save others, and the other is an upstart who is too angry.
The interesting part is a dialogue: John asks Denzel what would happen if his wife found out about his bribery? Denzel says she'll understand in the end, John laughs and asks if it's love, because he's spent a lot of money on a hand model. Denzel's answer is: This is marriage, and marriage is the mutual support of two people.

So far, it really understands the essence of marriage. Ordinary life may be as plain as white water, without more surprises and passions, and sometimes it is an old Chinese saying: young husbands and wives are old companions.

He/she is just a partner who accompanies you on a journey of life. Whether the road can go well, teamwork is very important. (A friend who feels the recent surge in divorces)

    I finally finished watching the film after so long. DW acted very cute and silly, JT was much more bland in comparison, and there was no tension or expectation after the plot, except for just using the next city, nothing Great scene!
