To be honest, the film is too general, but it is Radford’s final work, so it is worth watching for Radford fans; moreover, it can be regarded as the curtain call of the Western movie that was in full swing in the last century. Of course it’s not that this movie sums up the previous westerns, or that it pays tribute to the previous westerns, nor that there will be no westerns after this movie; let alone that this movie is part of the watershed; just that it is based on the present Looking at the situation, the old western film workers are getting old or even dying; if you make a western film again, you have to think with a new attitude and a new standpoint. This is a kind of hint of this movie, that is: you still want to see the old western movie in the new movie, the director can give you one, but you will find that the previous people are already old. . Generally speaking, for the film itself, the whole story is too dull. Every time it seems that it is about to reach a certain climax, it stops inexplicably. Then it tends to be slow again, there is no orgasm in the whole film, it is slow and drowsy. . To be honest, I really want to give a negative review to this film, but it is not easy considering an old man. Anyway, anyone who has watched it will know that this movie is really not good.
PS: I think the prototype of police officer Robert is a reference to the bodyguard of President Reagan when he was assassinated, Federal Special Agent Robert Wanko. At the moment Reagan was assassinated, Robert took out a submachine gun to protect Reagan in the downtown area. This image of him became a certain symbolic image of the official officials.
