Clooney, are you still an actor?

Lost Town is a crime thriller film written by the Cohen brothers and directed by George Clooney. Set in a small American town in the late 1950s, the story tells the story of two black and white families. Let's talk about the movie first. Although the two families are neighbors, except for the children who are friends, the stories are obviously not connected, and the theme is not clear. The white kid's mother asked him to play football with the black kid, and the two gradually became friends, but the stories that followed were completely unrelated. If you just want to show what happened to two families of different social status, why not make two separate films? The racism and assault on a black family is iconic; the killing of another white family could be made into a pure crime thriller. Or wouldn't it be more interesting to make two short stories?

Although the story itself has major problems, the film's acting skills and photography are still good. Neither Julianne Moore nor Oscar Issac disappointed. Personally, I think Isaac's acting skills are great, and this time he has successfully reversed his usual vicious image of previous roles and transformed himself into a cunning and clever insurance company employee, which is very worth seeing. The perverted and crazy third party played by Moore is also very convincing. But Damon (Matt Damon) is very average, obviously not working hard.

This movie really wouldn't be left without good cinematography, photographer Robert Elswit won an Oscar for The Blood Is Coming , and in addition to the first time he shot Nightcrawler and the Borne series. All are popular movies. If you like photography, this is a movie worth watching.

    "Slip away", my dad snores while watching it in the cinema. The best part of the whole film is the back of the male protagonist stepping on a children's bicycle.

    Although it can't reach the height of Cohen, it is still higher than expected. Clooney is a retro brain fan, the actors are collectively good, and the soundtrack atmosphere is very Hitchcock.
