Review 4K Movie

The film is certainly well made and is worth watching, at least for anyone who likes films about the work of special services, as well as films in which a lone hero is head and shoulders above all his opponents. Yes, this is always appealing in the first place because every male viewer or reader always, to one degree or another, puts himself in the place of the hero of the film or book, or simply admires the fact that the hero of the film or book demonstrates qualities that all men admire, and through the film they come into contact with them, as it were.

But, returning to reality, I cannot help but note that some of the moments shown in this film are simply unrealistic. I will start with the fact that the hero of the film always has the opportunity to acquire, buy, and pay for things, even though the agency he works for, which is not satisfied with his actions, could simply block all his accounts as well as the passports issued to him. When he went to a bar to hide from his mentor, he set up an explosive device in the back room. The question is, did he carry it with him everywhere, or did the fire department never check this bar for the storage of highly flammable and explosive substances, from which he quickly constructed an explosive device with a timer? .

The microphone he attached to a paper clip to eavesdrop on his superiors is clearly not something you can buy. Special equipment is certainly accountable, and cameras always record the moment when an employee takes it out in their name. If he bought it, the special services are still able to easily verify this. so the idea that his intelligence so far exceeds the agency's capabilities that his actions are completely unpredictable is just a director's fantasy.

The scene where the hero breaks the pool with a remote control is a fairy tale.

Speaking of the woman who helped him, I personally find it strange that any individual, regardless of their past and skills, has access to all the databases of the special services. If she hacks them to gain access, why hasn't she been caught long ago, which was actually demonstrated in the film and did not cause any particular difficulty for the special services.

One thing that always irritates me a little in many films related to the special services and the military is when the characters talk about the location of a particular object, simply mentioning the cardinal directions and distance, or, as in this film, during the first meeting between the main character and the female “hacker” who was helping him, she indicated the place of their next meeting as follows “The covered parking lot four blocks from here, in that direction.” If I were given a meeting place in the same way, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find it even in a month. The person is in a foreign country, you need to know the size of each of the four blocks and where they end, there may be several parking lots there, where should I look?

But what I couldn't help but notice was a small scene in the film where the protagonist, while in a house with a female “hacker” who is helping him track down his wife's killer, analyzes the location of one of the villains from a photo of a vineyard. I consider this scene to be the coolest in the entire film because it demonstrates the amount of detail and nuance that special services employees analyze to determine location and solve any other tasks in general. This causes me great admiration, and I want to say to people who suddenly “think” or “decide” to do something bad, do you really think you'll get away with it?

Special services are a completely different kind of people, a completely different level of people, and they have unlimited capabilities. Believe me, it's better not to mess with them. Everyone must respect the criminal code.
