Neither did I expect to see Joan Chen in an action movie, nor could I believe that Jessica is the character she is playing in this movie, nor did I think she was the producer.
This film was fantastic. Strong performances by the actors. Entertaining pursuit. Just the right amount of character development—not so much that it dragged on, but enough that you cared about them nevertheless. Yeah, there's a little bit of reality distortion, but it's not quite as bad as in some of the more recent films.

"Count no man as happy until his end is known. What Simon would call all that Greek shit. It's not until you know how someone dies that you know what really matters to them. What they sacrifice for, what they would die for. We don't have much control over our lives. But our end? Sometimes we write that story. If you're getting this, you know my end. I've never been happier."
-- a quote from John Malkovich's character in a film, referencing the Aristotelian concept of withholding judgment on a person's happiness until their life's end is known. It also reflects on the idea that one's true values and priorities become apparent only in hindsight, particularly in the face of death.

"Hindsight" refers to the understanding of a situation or event after it has occurred, often with the benefit of additional information or perspective that was not available at the time of the event. It involves looking back on past events and being able to analyze them more clearly or accurately than when they were happening.
