      It's not a movie review, because it's not short enough to say, so here it is.

      Al Pacina is still a sharp and big show. The film takes place in a somewhat depressing state. There are not a few Italian mafia-themed films. It is about the family between the gangs and the friends. This time, it is about a strange undercover between the gangs, and the friendship and responsibilities collided, because it is based on a true story, the ending The jump is not very big, and it is incomplete. It can also be said to be part of the reverie. I am thinking that when Al Pacino (the old...

      In fact, you are too sympathetic to the old left.

      There are many old leftist descriptions in the film, cold-blooded. . . After all, after so many years in the Dao, I killed 26 people. When I killed the 28th person, that was the one that Heisang thought was undercover, the killing was very natural. . . In fact, the cold-blooded description of Lao Zuo reminds Donnie that he should come out in the end. There is nothing to regret or sympathize with. Why, in the most critical scene of the film, Donnie goes home to get money, trying to imply that...

      About Al Pacino and My Chrysanthemum

      Paralyzed This is my first time writing a movie review.

      Because it is too numb and uncomfortable.

      paralysis.

      Don't say the first half of this movie is boring.

      The calmer the sea, the more violent the storm.





      I'm not looking at the plot, I'm looking at the characters.

      Whether it is a novel or a movie, I personally think that the classic characters are the most handed down.

      I don't know why some people say...

      Movie Review: Loyal Traitor

      7.5 points. The gangster film has been filmed for so many years, it is really difficult to make new ideas, and this film is based on real events, which leads to the plot being a little too flat and slightly procrastinating. Al Pacino's aura is too powerful. Although limited by his role, his arrogance can't be vented, but as long as he appears, Johnny Depp, who was still a little young at the time, will be completely suppressed. On the contrary, Michael Madsen's unexpected performance gave me...

      Pacino still flawless, Depp asks me to take my hat off

      What I wanted to watch again was "Once Upon a Time in America", but all of a sudden, I found that the hard drive was gone, and I was too lazy to read it again, so I decided to watch "The Faithful Traitor" next.

      This is a good film, or in other words, it has all the elements that a classic film needs, such as old drama bones, idols, tight plots, adaptations of real events, classic film scores, flawless use of montages, profound Line design, everything.

             Lefty may always...

      The film is not good, many plots are unclear, and there is no connection between clips, which is rather abrupt. It is also an undercover film, the plot is not as good as "The Departed", and Depp is not as good as Leonardo's...

      Friendship or professional ethics? It was really sad to see the last few minutes...Pacino rarely plays such a mundane and tragic role and is no longer...

    Movie plot

    In order to combat the forces of the Mafia, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation appointed Detective Joe Pistone under the pseudonym Donnie Blasco (Johnny Depp) into the undercover gang. Through a jewellery business, Joe got to know the gang leader Leferty (Al Pacino) and was appreciated by him. In order to gain the trust of Lafferty, Joe had to do nothing evil and participated in a series of criminal activities. But as the longer...

    Evaluation action

    "The Traitor" tells the story of a policeman who entered the Mafia as an undercover agent, but the plot did not fall into the stereotypes of black and white struggles. The themes of the film are friendship, loyalty and betrayal. The focus is not on how thrilling the police undercover process is and how good and evil are incompatible, but more on portraying the contradictions and inner conflicts between these two types of extreme...
