"Your writing is strong but frivolous, and Job is not frivolous." The arms dealer's insight is amazing.

A sensational movie in 1996, I really watched this movie someday after 2000.

There are many praises for it, except for the weird and strong rhythmic music, and the development of the plot, which corresponds to the foreshadowing before and after. There are almost no flaws, and there is no falsehood.

Towards the end, when Eaton exposed Emmanuel Baya, that kind of demeanor can only be achieved by an agent-level figure, and he didn't get angry, but Tom had been mentally prepared before disguising her husband, so the exposing can also be calm. To deal with it, unlike the beginning of the film, when the group died seeing that only Emmanuel Bea came back, he treated it with caution.

And after Emmanuel Bea was shot and killed by her publicly, "I'm sorry to hear you say that." Atango caressed her cheek, the chivalrous intestines are admirable. There is also a flaw here, why Emmanuel Bea’s husband didn’t kill Ah Tang before going on a plane. It would be nice to arrange it better.


Subsequent spy movies can't see the details that are handled so well. Either it's too mystical, or it's just guessing the answer. Either it looks like a romantic movie, or the camera shakes and deliberately shows chaotic scenes, no matter how high-tech it is, it is not easy to surpass this one.

    Brian de Palma’s spy action classic. The rhythm is well controlled, and there are occasional small loopholes in the plot, but it does not interfere with the overall situation. This time I will not play long shots. The murderous in the fog of Prague night is full of British retro flavor. Tom's big show magic show juggling Uncle Renault and hanging secretly sneak (slow motion with a knife falling) is excellent. The high-speed trains and helicopters in the tunnel have also been used crazy. Initiate the series tradition of changing faces and passionate soundtracks. (8.5/10)

    When I watched it, I kept thinking that this movie is so weird. The actors’ dressing, soundtrack, rhythm, and performance are all the Hollywood feelings of the 4th and 5th centuries, such as the interrogation scene at the beginning, and Cruise’s tricks. (How can there be such a failed agent?) At the end, the train attendant exaggerated the scene of fainting... Just checked on the Internet, it turned out to be directed by Parma, and then I know it’s no wonder that... Hollywood is rude and straightforward, but the extreme pursuit of realism in details will not let the audience just come to watch a movie, and this film obviously has too many flashes, you can't tell what is wrong, but there is a taste. ······Palma inherits the classic tradition and it has both form and spirit, but the tastes of modern audiences can't fully accept it, right? His film conveys the legacy of the last era
