The theme of the film is very simple, with only one main line: private detective Cage, entrusted by the widow of a former congressman, investigates whether the girl in a videotape of torture and murder is really dead. After Cage received the mission, he began an investigation of a person's cocoon and silk. During this period, a boy who bought pornographic magazines was hired as a helper.
The movie is 2 hours in total and the pace is slow. The ending was known in the first half hour, and it was the congressmen and their lawyers who paid high prices for the filming. Buyers - middlemen who look for young ignorant girls as prey under the guise of recruiting actors - perverted directors - professional actors who kill like machines, under the glamorous Hollywood sign, they carry out interlocking transactions like an industrial chain. At the end, you can also guess that Cage tracked down everything, and the helper died innocently. At the last moment, the detective who was out of the matter mixed into his personal emotions and succeeded in revenge for the slain girl and the implicated boy, and the wicked were killed one after another.
I made this film probably because of Cage. I had a good impression of Cage before. Although I was disappointed with his City of Angels, I can only say that I am even more disappointed after watching this film. The private detective he plays has a dull expression most of the time. He is not alert enough, he is kind, and his actions are not agile enough. The part of going out with the boy to find clues seems to me especially like a layman. If I am a trafficker illegal The owner of the videotape could see at a glance that his intention was not to buy the tape, so he politely asked the thugs to send him out, and impatiently, he shot him.
Cage finally succeeded in revenge, and the mask of the killing machine machine was finally torn off. It turned out that he was wearing glasses, and his face was as ordinary as thousands of people living around us.
If the only thing that impressed me about the whole movie is the boy's line, walking with the devil, you will not influence the devil, you will only be assimilated by the devil.
