    The focus of this film is not on who the murderer is, but on the obsession of the retired police officer with the murder. You can't tell whether his tenderness towards the little girl is really for the purpose of taking advantage, but you can see that he is being used by this kind of obsession. Devouring it step by step. Jack Nicholson's performance is good, and the story is a little...

    The persistent person suffers a lot, his girlfriend left with his daughter, the criminal was burned to death before he was caught, and the police comrades didn't believe him, so he could only go...

    It seems that I wanted to see it more than ten years ago, and then I saw it. It's not the same as what I thought. It's not the personal heroism of Hollywood's main theme. It seems that a perfectionist like me is a little disturbed and feels that the plot is a bit...

    When you dedicate yourself to one thing you are good at, you will fall into a terrible state. After being frustrated a few times, you will still not believe that you are not wrong. very far. I liked the final ending. Natural disasters and man-made disasters helped me, but I had no sense of accomplishment at...

    It doesn't matter who the murderer is anymore... The acting of the old drama bones is quite good, Nicholson's nerve-racking scenes in the film remind me of the clips in "The Shining", but there are obvious differences between the two. the difference. In addition to facing the external dilemma of being retired and widowed, the protagonist of this film also has to bear the torture of the obsession of goodwill in his heart. What he is waiting for is Godot, who will never...

    The process of the retired police officer swearing to the death and gradually becoming paranoid is not wonderful. Director Sean Penn's skill is not enough, and the language of the camera is too useless. The face is great, soy sauce is so big it's scary. I thought Eckhart was from a certain angle like Sam Shepard here to play police station superiors and subordinates, standing together with father and...

    In existential stories, the director can only use the camera to pretend to be close to the character, but cannot enter the character's heart. In the end, it becomes a boring figure and scenery film interspersed with countless celebrities. The suspense depends on repeatedly placing innocent children in danger. Later, "Blizzard is Coming" did a better job on its...

    The most fearful thing is to see this kind of film where I don't know who the murderer was at the end, leaving a psychological shadow again. ....
