"Just Killing" is probably the film with the most powerful cast in the fall of 2008. Following the release of "The Wire" 13 years later, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, two veteran movie stars, once again joined hands to ascend together. screen. This time, the two play two police officers who are about to retire in the film, but they are involved in a complicated serial murder case.
David and Thomas, played by two Hollywood veterans, are a pair of old New York police detectives. The two have worked together for 30 years in the high-pressure work environment of the NYPD and are about to retire. However, before taking off the police badge, they still have to deal with a case, because from the modus operandi and other related information, it seems to be related to a case they dealt with a long time ago. The victim of this case, himself a suspect in another case, also wrote a quatrain about punishing evil and promoting good beside his body. The same approach was used in a series of cases that David and Thomas dealt with long ago. The targets chosen by the murderer are criminals who exploit legal loopholes. He punishes those who have successfully evaded justice in a way of doing things for heaven. But the problem is that the murderer of that series of cases has been arrested and brought to justice. Now these new similar cases have made David and Thomas have to start to wonder: Could it be that the wrong person was arrested in the first place?
In my opinion, Justifiable Killing is the same old Bucket List I watched not too long ago - an old man's play. Morgan Freeman's age spots are still vivid in "Bucket List", and Robert De Niro's beer belly and Al Pacino's wrinkled face gave me another visual shock this time. The process of watching "Justifiable Killing" is also a process that I sighed endlessly. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are really old. The two of them are over 130 years old together. , people always feel that they are somewhat powerless. After all, Lian Po is still old, and although he hasn't reached the point where he has left three dead ends, he can't help but sigh: Since ancient times, beauties sighed late, and heroes are not allowed to see their dead ends.
Before watching "Just Cause Killing", my friend reminded me that the first half has to be persistent to watch it. I feel puzzled - the two top veteran actors play with each other so much that fans are addicted, why do I still need to persist... The opening ten minutes I will I understand what my friend means.
The main line of a police and criminal suspense film is nothing more than one line: "Who did this?" At the beginning of the film, it uses flashbacks to explain the murderer, and even monologues the motive and details of the crime - "This is what I did, I am So, so, and so..." - I'm at a loss. You don't need to be so thorough with the spoilers. Even the pot ends when you come up. How about a suspense movie without suspense? Is it because the two major actors joined in, the lineup is invincible, and the cards are not played according to the card theory. The cards are too hard to play with you.
When I saw the climax, I was relieved. Fortunately, the story is a French "Decoding the Face" style structure. It's really Chen! If you don't shake the burden again, the audience will sleep until the theater lights are turned on.
The Taiwanese translation of "Justice Killing" is "Clash of the Century", which seems to allude to the rivalry between De Niro and Pacino in terms of acting. There are a lot of rival scenes, although there are only ten minutes and two scenes, and this time, the two old movie stars have 90 minutes in the whole story, and the rival scenes account for most of them. This alone will make the global movie fans list the film as the fall of 2008. One of the must-see videos.
Perhaps it is precisely because the arms of the two movie stars are too large that it has a negative impact on this realistic film. In addition, the story itself is not particularly good, and the director's editing skills are relatively weak, which leads to the whole story, there is no This kind of film should have a tense atmosphere, and the ending is too abrupt, making this film a bit tasteless for fans of Er Lao.
Just Killing is still worth watching, as its trailer says it's the last time De Niro and Pacino will be in the same movie at the same time. To control this kind of film with the acting skills of these two is like anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes - let's calm down and watch the two guns go off in unison.
