Melville, highly praised by the New Wave, has the audiovisual essence that has always been extended in his works. Personally, the weakness lies in the crew.
First of all, the circle of "Red Circle" is not round enough, not big enough, and the interactive influence of A, B, and C is not enough. In this kind of crossover, the crossover is not "coincident". The three suspects, the prison inspector, the police officer, the internal affairs officer, and the gang intermediary, are in contact with each other. This connection is either far-fetched or not enough. For example, the original police officer among the suspects should face As former classmates, their affection under this relationship did not develop in depth, but instead indexed the character's psychological line to the dream state of being haunted by wild beasts. The task of their shared teacher and internal affairs officer in the film is to interpret the "goodness". If they do it smartly, this kind of fateful pessimism with different corners from the same starting point is also a place to be explored. Sandy's son, who is intimidated, can this clue also be circled in this circle? The prison inspection played too little role in it. A oriole bureau was created, but this bureau was not well organized. Re-entry, why Galway can easily kill Maddie twice, why didn’t he kill him, once when he escaped, and the second time when he finally rushed in and asked his companion to escape. This is the same as his cruel nature. Contrary to this, does the director want to portray this rabbit's fear of eagles?
The positioning of the film style is very important. Do you want to make a genre film, or do you want to do this kind of unidentified subject matter of marginal people. The more than 20 minutes of stealing treasure in the movie, I personally think it is a show of skills, not good in the layout of the drama and the style of the whole film. The effect, on the contrary, slows down the rhythm, making the audience feel bored.
The loneliness of marginal people in Melville’s other films is much weaker in this film. There are no prominent characters, no characters that are particularly recognized by the audience, and the characters are scattered. In the end, this desolate sense of fate Weak.
