"Bad Lieutenant" is a very personalized film that shows the actor's skill. A superintendent who wanders between justice and evil has done a lot of bad things, but he is still doing good things, and he has won honor for himself. And Cage's hard performance also won him a good reputation.
The current "Bad Guard" looks similar to "Bad Lieutenant", not just the translation of the Chinese name. In the overall framework, the same is true. A local police officer in Ireland is cold-blooded, drug-taking, prostitution, arms possession, and racial discrimination. He doesn't care about the death of others. On weekends, he would rather use prostitutes than help his own answer to solve the case. As a local police officer, such a person does not seem to be qualified in any way, and is a typical bad police officer. If you really follow the above standards, you will definitely be quite disappointed and feel that it is incurable. But in fact it’s not the case. It’s really bad. What’s bad is the entire environment and the entire police system. Compared with these, these small problems of Sheriff Boyle can only be regarded as flaws. And it can only constitute a lovely part of it. Recklessness, truthfulness, and a bottom line. This is the true bottom line of the police. The small evils do not conceal their inner guardianship of the bottom line. They do not accept bribes and do not bow their heads to drug dealers. Although the mouth is broken and the mouth is open, it is always the same. A racially discriminatory face, but for the black partner, I really believe it and work together to solve the criminals. The arms are not for profit, but for the purpose of arresting criminals. The entire police system is broken, but I still insist on not. Moved by the evil forces, but insisted on solving the case, insisting on arresting the criminals, and even fulfilling their duties at the expense of their own lives. These performances are not the actions of a "bad policeman" at all, but they are exactly what he did.
All kinds of contradictions converge on the same person, which is a great challenge for the actors, and the "crazy eye" Bradan Gleason from "Harry Potter" performed quite well, and he was also in There is a wonderful British comedy after "The Killer Has No Holiday" and there is a masterpiece afterwards. The frame of this story looks similar to "Bad Lieutenant", there are real policemen in the evil, and the actors who are the first protagonist perform very well. "Bad Guard" was also one of the ten best British films last year. And the cold humor entrained everywhere in it also has a few characteristics, which makes it more attractive than "Bad Lieutenant", and the irony of Hollywood is also very interesting and quite playful.
