What I'm going to say is, this is a bad movie.
However, I really like Nicholas. I told a friend that I even liked the tone of his speech. His performance is full of dramatic tension, and the in-depth interpretation of the role is permeated between his gestures and eyebrows. The down-and-out cop reminds me of his performance on The Weatherman. The same bleak situation, helplessness, anger, and resistance to the status quo, dissatisfaction, blame, resentment, and misunderstanding by others, etc., are all very similar. But it's not that Nicholas anymore, the lieutenant has no chance to show his handling of these delicate feelings. The film's rhythm is too fast, taking away what may happen in an instant, and the plot set up because of the plot ruins his talent. He has no chance.
I'd really like to know what kind of considerations Nicholas made to endorse and choose this script, or that he sees places that I can't yet see.
I also want to know what kind of understanding those friends who give positive comments on this film come from. Is it just metaphysical admiration for the life philosophy and educational significance that are desperately listed and superimposed in the film.
Am I being too picky?
