22 Miles
Director: Peter Borg
Starring: Mark Wahlberg/Lauren Kohan
Ico Uais
Country of Production: United States
Release: 2018-08-17
Douban score: 6.8
The story told in 22 Miles takes place in Indonesia. Walberg plays CIA agent stationed in Indonesia and must take an unarmed tainted witness from the city center to the airport. At the airport, a plane was waiting for them. The journey from the city centre to the airport is 22 miles. This section of the road looks calm, but it is full of invisible dangers, including various members of the underworld and bad elements of the police. Wahlberg had to deal not only with people with high martial skills, but also with heavy weapons in their hands.
The film's director, Peter Borg, seems to like this kind of thriller involving the international situation, and his "Change of Dynasty" and "Lone Survivor" are describing the cruel world of the war on terror, but by the recent "Terrorist Attack on Boston" and "22 Miles", it is clear that you can see a fact:
The battlefield is not on the front line, but in your daily life.
The Accounting Assassin
Director: Gavin O'Connor
Starring: Ben Affleck / Anna Kendrick
J.K. Simmons
Release: 2016-10-14
Douban score: 7.4
The silent and mysterious mathematical genius Christian Wolfe (Ben Affleck) is engaged in the obscure accounting profession, specializing in the accounting of the world's major criminal institutions. As Treasury official Ray King (J.K. Simmons) becomes concerned about financial crime, Christian enlists a legitimate AI company customer as cover, and the company's accountant (Anna Kendrick) appears to have found a multi-million dollar financial rift. Christian's next step is not only an investigation by the authorities, but also a more serious personal danger.
In addition to the tense fight in "Accounting Assassin", there is also a plot in which the male protagonist suffers from autism, and he is not good at expressing himself but is a mathematical genius, which has the flavor of the classic movie "Rain Man". In the whole film, the crisis is also accompanied by warmth, and more details are left for the officials to explore carefully.
God has closed one window for you and will open another for you.
"13 Hours of Crisis"
Also known as: 13 Hours: The Unsung Heroes of Benghazi
Directed By: Michael Bay
Starring: John Krasinski / Pablo Schreber
Toby Stephens/James Becky Dyer
Max Martini/Dominique Formoussa
Release: 2016-01-15
Douban score: 7.7
Based on a true story
13 Hours of Crisis isn't really a spy movie. It is placed in this category because the weight and form of these unsung heroes in a foreign country is somewhat similar to the two secret agent films recommended earlier, and it is also a film worth enjoying in terms of rhythm and content.
On September 11, 2012, an anti-American demonstration occurred in front of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and dozens of militants stormed the consulate overnight, and the demonstration turned into violent clashes, culminating in the deaths of four people, including U.S. Ambassador John Christopher Stevens, the first U.S. ambassador to be killed by terrorists in 33 years.
There are many political themes like this in American movies, the confrontation of positions, the difficulty of the decision-making process, and even the sense of helpless despair that you have to experience at any time as a task force.
Right and wrong are relative concepts, but getting things done is always a great thing.

Your enemy is the whole police system?
It sounds terrible, but even in the fog, "Paris Crisis" can still be said to be a very pleasant secret agent movie.
What kind of sparks will be rubbed between a good pickpocket who only wants to steal and a cia agent who is impulsive and reckless but full of justice?
If you don't play your cards according to the routine, sometimes there will be unexpected surprises.
