All conspiracies to destroy the American economy are not allowed by the Chinese people!

As a spy action movie, the Jack Lane series has been filmed 4, Jack Lane's actors are: "The Hunt for the Red October" Alec Baldwin in 1990, "Patriot Games" in 1992 , Harrison Ford in "The Urgent Crisis" in 1994, Ben Affleck in "The Sum of Fear" in 2002.
However, compared to the familiar 007/Mission: Impossible/Mission Shadow series that movie fans are familiar with, the popularity of this series is really the five scumbags! In addition to the fact that the entire series is not systematic for a long time, the combat effectiveness of the CIA agent Jack Lane in this series is also the fifth scum compared to James Bond/Ethan Hunt/Jasonborn!
This film tells the story of how Jack Lane joined the army, how to join the CIA, and how to perform his first mission in Russia. It is a prequel to the entire series! However, I prefer to think that this is the first part of a new spy action series that Paramount wants to open!
As a spy action popcorn film produced for the Hollywood assembly line, we of course want to watch the hot and exciting scenes to watch the awesome action, and it is okay to watch the celebrities play cool! But this film is a typical three-no product! No big scenes, no actions, no stars!
Speaking of big scenes and actions, has 007/Mission: Impossible/Bourneous Shadows all these elements of the spy war movie extinct? Future films are really hard to do!
Speaking of celebrities, look at the few people on the poster, right? Chris Pine has just emerged, Kevin Costner is already dead, and Keira Knightley is prematurely declining!
In fact, there is one more interesting point. Movies on this subject always have to set an imaginary enemy! It turned out to be during the Cold War, and the imaginary enemy is generally the Soviet Union! Later, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the imaginary enemy was generally some arms dealers and careerists! After 9/11, the imaginary enemy became a terrorist again! Now bin Laden has also been killed, and the imaginary enemy is getting harder and harder to find! So, this time Russia is lying down again!
However, since this film is a Hollywood assembly line product, it is still qualified! The rhythm is very fast, and the plot is not sloppy! I feel that the plot is a bit too fast, and it hurts the integrity of the story because of the jump!
In order to avoid smashing the glass at home due to spoilers, I only use one sentence to summarize the plot-this film mainly talks about some countries like Russia. It is purely an attempt to destroy the U.S. economy through shameless means to achieve ulterior goals. Wishes and delusions are unpopular and doomed to failure. The Chinese people, who hold the most U.S. Treasury debt, will never agree to it!
