Only with the self-confidence of American imperialism can they dare to whitewash traitors and spies into international warriors and peaceful anti-war heroes. All history is nothing but the words "winners and losers". The disintegrated No. 2 superpower naturally only has a cold, rigid and brutal stereotype in the movie. How can the lighthouse empire, which is eager to launch a new Cold War today, not be What about turning on the same set of filters for a new opponent?

The male protagonist in the film thinks that his espionage finally contributed to the Soviet Union's removal of the nuclear bomb from Cuba, inadvertently saving all mankind from the brink of destruction.

This well-known double standard is more than a century-old shop…

Aside from ideology and historical authenticity, the narrative ability of Western media and the artistic influence of British and American films are truly outstanding.

    Neat and steady, the fact that spy war films can do this is already a remarkable homework. Once again, it is confirmed that the book that Juan Fu can like, the production will not be bad. The mentality of dragging a small person into a fierce international arena where murderous intentions are hidden everywhere is very well performed, especially the part of the scene in the prison.
