    It is inevitable that you will go your own way, even if the time and space you are in is indeed such a cramped and noisy police station, even if the obsession you believe in is only a paranoid willfulness, but there is no lack of pure justice. The setting of almost limited scenes and seemingly group portraits, like a blindfold, before the ending paragraph, obscures the core expression of the film - the heavy shadow that traumatic memory brings to fate through character, but compared with the...

    It was originally a stage play. More than 90% of the scenes are carried out in one police station. The four cases are intertwined, and the scheduling of multi-character scenes looks very enjoyable. The overlapping of several events also highlights the character of the protagonist. The tragedy of the protagonist is doomed. This absolute theory of black and white is obviously not suitable for many things. Lee Grant is really...

    The role of Kirk has been similar in previous black films. The setting is very similar to Dana Andrews' police role in "Where the Sidewalk Ends", but the performance of the two is completely different. Wyler's scheduling is accurate and beautiful, but after watching it too much, I feel a little ingenious. Fortunately, the ending did not disappoint me this...

    One main line and multiple sub-line police station all beings (the "Police Diary" 4 years later is also of this type). Indoor play in a confined space with dense lines, is the stage play changed? Classified as Noir but not very black. Maybe Wheeler is good at this kind of group play? Tai Hui (will) Le. Also love the cinematography of this one: the flow of the opening camera in the police station space is wonderful. The Italian-born burglar and the girl who steals the bag are bright and overdone...

    In addition to the law, there are also people

    Titled "The Great Detective Story", this is an atypical noir film, and the director doesn't focus on how detectives solve crimes - in fact, several of the cases involved in the film are trivial (except for the murder doctor Schneider). and four-time felon Charlie) — instead focusing on how...

    Detective Story: The Evil Formula

    The iron-fisted policy and never straying are the consistent truths upheld by police officer Jim. Because he lived in the shadow of his father's tyranny as a child, his heart was full of sorrow and pain due to this black-and-white oppression. It is reflected in the work, that although it emphasizes...
