From "Two for the Money Two for the Money For the Money." you can see the shadows of many popular films: the cruel survival of the workplace in " Glengarry Glen Ross ", "Devil's Advocate", the opposite of father and son, "Wall Street" "The dark hands behind the scenes, the hot game predictions in "Mr. Sweetheart".Since the small casinos have condensed all the flavors of life, "Two for the Money Two for the Money For the Money." is also Willing to become a hybrid work, and director
Caruso has just shifted the focus of development from TV dramas to movies. The previous two films "Satton Sea" and "Mobile Murder" have not become the darlings of the box office and critics. Shooting techniques and experience are very limited, but fortunately, Al Pasino joined the film . Some people think that this film is Pasino’s best performance since "Scent of a Woman", "Robert De Niro is old, Pasino is still in good spirits", this kind of strategically powerful character seems to be born. Prepared for Pasino, to sum up in the words of Walter in the film, "I am inevitable to sell and win in the world of impermanence."
◇ Highlight: Al Pasino 's one-man show
Pasino always plays such a role by coincidence. An older person in power with mental or physical problems shelters a young and inexperienced young man under his wings, uses him and trains him. , Formed a strange father-son relationship, however, in the end, this ambitious young man surpassed the power holder and became a dangerous opponent, and the two eventually became incompatible. This is the case in "The Devil's Advocate", and there are similar plots in "Scent of a Woman".
Needless to say, the similarity is natural, but Al Pasino is Al Pasino, and this kind of devilish character is simply his specialty. Some people say: "Such a role, even when he is dreaming, can play a three-pointer. "So, how he looks at it is still pleasing to the eye, the natural focus of the film, although it is impossible to meet a breakthrough character when he was young, and it is impossible to always bloom new flowers like Jackelson, but after all, with him, the film There will be a bit of residual demeanor.
For a movie that reveals a lot of money, companies, the world of gambling, and the darkness of American society, viewers seeking pleasure may not be willing to watch it, and it is certainly not a thorough criticism that will probably make purely cynical audiences laugh. However, whether Pasino can make a difference from the young McConnell, and whether the plot of the film is enjoyable is definitely the key to the success of the film.
