Today we will introduce the American movie "Escape from the Concrete".
The title of the film is Dragged Across Concrete (2018), alias High-pressure sanctions (Taiwan) / Black eats black.
The film is produced by Lionsgate, which is known as a B-level film. At the beginning of the film, it dedicated a shocking melee scene, which instantly aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.
But with the development of the film, the emotions driven by the whole "Escape from the Concrete" show a smooth curve from high to low. The passion at the beginning of the film no longer exists over time, replaced by endless nonsense and procrastination.
The old tough guy Mel Gibson plays the leading role of Brett Ridgeman in this film. He is a 60-year-old police officer who is still fighting at the forefront of criminals.
When he and his partner Anthony Lurasetti arrested criminals, they adopted excessive violence and were photographed by "enthusiastic" citizens to complain to the media. In the case of the proliferation of the Notre Dame complex and political correctness first, the sheriff chose to calm down and Brett and Anthony were suspended for 6 weeks without pay.
This made the hot-tempered Brett very upset, thinking that he had been working hard to catch criminals, but ended up with a thankless result.
And his partner decades ago had already been promoted and made a fortune, sitting behind his desk reprimanding himself. At the same time, his wife suffers from illness and has limited mobility and can only rely on crutches to make a living; her daughter is always harassed and bullied by roadside hooligans on the way to and from school.
With a backlog of troubles, Brett decided to get some money to improve his living conditions.
Anthony, who was also suspended from work, also had a lot of life troubles. Without a source of life, he couldn't even afford the diamond ring he was ready to propose, and he was in big trouble with the marriage.
Brett approached Anthony and wanted to do something that the law does not allow to make money. Anthony originally refused it in his heart, but couldn't stand the money offensive. Youdao is a penny that stumps heroes. When survival becomes a problem, don't talk about justice and morality.
Brett's idea was to eat black. He relied on previous clues to infer that a group of gangsters would do bad things, so he wanted to monitor them, rob this group of gangsters, and make a fortune to leave.
The plot then proceeded in the process of black eating black. Either the black police ate the gang, or the gang killed the black police. You can find the specific ending in the movie.
As the saying goes, black eat black, the more you eat, the fatter you get. But here it becomes black and black, and the more you eat, the more wasteful you are.
The film describes in great detail the process of the two forces competing for the final trophy. The advantage of the black police is professional combat literacy and skills, and the advantage of the gang is the number advantage and preemptive strike. Whoever wins has become the biggest suspense of the film. The only thing that can be predicted is that no matter which side wins, the final outcome will be extremely tragic. It is almost impossible to think that the winner takes all.
Those who want to escape from the concrete floor are finally stuck in the quagmire. The people below fantasize about pheasant turning into phoenix, but according to the method in "Criminal Law" it is definitely not a way out. When the cement sets and hardens, the people in the cement ground can only be trapped in it forever.
Murder and set fire to the gold belt, repair the bridge and repair the road without corpses.
The idea of the film is that on this basis, those who work hard will never be able to catch up with opportunistic tricks. People who know how to manage can climb to a safe and high position early, and those who work hard can only become other people's stepping stones.
In order to intensify the drama conflict, arrange a black and black gunfight for them, so it seems that the only way out is to make the honest people suffer.
The shortcomings are also obvious, the movie is too procrastinating.
In the 159-minute movie, most of the time is talking nonsense. After the person is talking, the next person is talking, as if the director is practicing his front and back.
The director of "Escape from the Concrete" spends all his time describing the daily lives of irrelevant characters.
Perhaps the director has watched "A Song of Ice and Fire" too much, and thinks the POV method is very cool. You must show the small characters in every detail, so that the audience will have feelings for the character, and then write the character in a very ordinary and cruel way. Death made the audience feel very shocked. However, in terms of the length of the film, the audience has no time to identify with these characters. There are too many characters in the scene, and the detailed description lacks focus, and the result can only make people drowsy.
Dicks fight each other black and eat black,
The narrative is procrastinated and unfocused.
