Looking at the new Pierce Brosnan led thriller I. T. trailer. It is reminiscent of the classic thriller Cape Fear (and the perfect remake of that tone), this is not a coincidence. This film borrows most of the movie blueprint and uses network technology wrappers to encompass several appropriate sequences that seem to be well known but otherwise it does nothing Is not ... The film was trying to provide a lot of Cape Fear-like moments from the beginning to the end including the end of the big thunderstorm in the background, but the fears and threats to drive the power of these movies are replaced by outdated works Most thriller cliche, no suspense

When I was preparing to write a movie, I studied some obsessive thrillers. I thought about a movie like a remake of Fatal Attraction or Cape Fear. I have seen them not as a prototype of I.T. Personality, but it depends on how human obsession develops. For Capefear, this is an obsession with family, the obsession with a fatal appeal is an obsession to others. So please put the main character and your opponent together even if you are not in the same room so that your opponent can hurt the hero. In these movies, the tactics of the opponent are very psychological, so men's tactics are also very psychological, even if they are not in the same place, he will have a big impact on their family.
