      Righteous Kill

      I'm a boring person, watching boring movies and doing boring reviews.

        Yesterday, I watched this film before reading the book exam, righteous kill, there are translations of justice killing in China, etc. The name is just a means, I don't care

        that there are 2 protagonists I think, enough
        Robert. De Niro, Al. Pacino; two generations of godfathers (GOD FATHER)
        There are more sparks, and collisions between them, but unfortunately they just ate a decent dinner...

      Can you still eat?

      When I saw fat out of shape Robert De Niro and thin out of shape Al Pacino sitting together and reporting to the boss who was older than them and couldn't talk, I couldn't help but feel depressed. Think, what happened to nypd, is it also popular in the United States to re-employ old retired experts? What can you do with these three old guys? The old man who was about to retire when the blood was splashed at the No. 13 police station was much more agile than them, and his spirit was much better...

      Justice is sometimes helpless

      I thought about the ending from the very beginning, not because I was so smart, but because there are already a lot of movie ideas like this, purely based on experience.
        A disbelieving policeman found the quickest and safest way to get justice, and it got out of hand. Sometimes in the face of evil, justice does seem out of hand. As the first line of confrontation with evil, the police face evil face-to-face. In fact, sometimes they seem powerless.
        The plot of the film uses...

      This film is in line with the reality of China

      If it wasn't for being late to the cinema, this movie should have been watched, not .

      Starting from the beginning, I thought that there would be a degree of progression or speeding up between killing the bad guys in the middle? Actually no, bad people are bad people, there is no difference.

      The self-report from the beginning really fooled me, I had absolutely no idea that it would be reversed here, although I knew it must be the police.

      To me,...

      The two veteran actors work together again! The two of them are like Gemini avatars, one good and one evil repeatedly switch interpretations...

      In my impression, Robert De Niro seems to be honest, but he is actually evil, and Al Pacino seems to be evil, but he is actually kind.
        In "Stone (2010)", De Niro plays a prison guard who is self-denying and loyal to the public. He is not guaranteed at the end of the festival; he seems to believe in God, but it is not. He is irritable, domineering, and selfish
        . And in "Devil's Advocate", Al Pacino played a "godfather" image, talking eloquently, very convincing and provocative, is...

      In fact, the film itself is not too bad, but the actors were wrongly chosen. It is too unconvincing to have two veteran actors who are nearly 70 years old and highly respected as a pair of hot police detectives. This is actually a kind of story and actors....

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film is a collaboration between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino after the movie "The Wire of Fire", after a lapse of 13 years.
    The rapper is a controversial artist with 50 points, which made Robert De Niro and Al Pacino prejudice him at the beginning of the filming, but when the three interacted more on the set, De Niro and Pacino Changed the view of him.
    I went to Robert De Niro's house as a guest at 50 minutes during the filming time,...

    Evaluation action

    The plot design of "Righteous Kill" is cleverly designed, and the combination of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino alone is enough to attract the audience. At the beginning of the film, a trap was cleverly designed to mislead the audience, wandering back and forth between the two scenes, making the audience suspect that the detective in front of them was the culprit in the ultimate case. The cooperation between Robert De Niro and Al Pacino...

    Movie quotes

    • Turk: [Note from Rambo's murder scene] He trades in sin, distributes flesh, He picks his fruit when it is fresh, Now someone must slap his whore, His heart has stopped he breathes no more.

    • Rooster: You know what I think about before I pull the trigger? I think about the infield fly rule. I love that fucking rule. It assumes the worst of everybody. It says sorry batter you're a smuck for poppin' up with runners on and you stupid ass infielder you don't get to cheat and drop the ball just because you caught a break. My favorite part, the batter's out but the runners advance at their own risk. That's the way life should be, you can be a motherfucker at your own risk... or not.

    • Lieutenant Hingis: I'm tellin' you, you screw it up badly enough they may try to fuck you outta your pension. You wanna risk that?

      Rooster: Yeah.

      Turk: Fuck yeah.
