Nicholas! Done. . .

I'm wondering if our Mr. Nicholas is bankrupt, out of breath, or offended the screenwriter, why can't get rid of the honor of "King of Bad Movies" for so long. How the script will get worse and worse. I didn't know it before, this is a remake, and I haven't seen the original, but I don't understand where the remake of this movie starts and ends. The whole movie starts inexplicably and ends inexplicably, with a lot of intentional sentences and symbols inserted in the middle, like a sitcom that makes sense for the sake of reasoning. Even the description of the aftermath of the hurricane in the opening long shot used such a small scene, and the picture was monotonous, without any aesthetic or even visual tension, which gave me the illusion that Hong Kong and Taiwan made shoddy small movies. If I hadn't known that Nicholas was on the line, it would have ended in my eyes.
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?

    A group of animals, to be precise, the narrative from the perspective of a reptile is very interesting

    Bad or Good? . This is a problem.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans quotes

  • Terence McDonagh: [a dog is barking in the distance as Terrence approaches the house] Hey! What's wrong?

    Genevieve: Your father's mad at me 'cause I can't take care of his fucking dog...

    Terence McDonagh: Well why does he need you to take care of it?

    Genevieve: Cause! He's goin' back into AA. He says he can deal with anymore responsibilities bsides he said he's gotta stop drinking. I mean, it ain't like I don't wanna take care of it... but I leave at seven o'clock in the morning to go to work!

    Terence McDonagh: Let me talk to him.

    Genevieve: I try to be a good wife to him, Terrence. I really do. But I got a limit too! You know, he's got a drinking problem, he says he's got a drinking problem and he wants to do something about it and that's good. You know, he's been down this road before and it didn't take... he wants to try it again. GOOD. But I... I say to him "why don't you just stick to beer the way I do" but he says he can't do that.

  • Terence McDonagh: You know we got your boy, G, right?

    Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: Man, I don't know no G.

    Terence McDonagh: He knows you. It's amazing how much you can get done when you've got a simple purpose guiding you through life. My purpose is to find out who shot up this apartment on Josephine. I know the guy that was living there was from Senegal. I know he was selling heroin. I know whose territory he was stepping on. And I know who went over to the apartment to straighten him out. I found out all that in the past few days. Where's Big Fate, son?

    Deshaun 'Midget' Hackett: I don't know no Big Fate.

    Terence McDonagh: Now, see, I know that's not true, because everybody who comes from where you come from knows who Big Fate is. The fact that you're lying to me about it tells me you're hiding something. Since you know my only reason for being here is to find out who shot up the apartment, I know that's what you're hiding. See? It all comes back to that same simple purpose.
