The story of the film is really wonderful. It takes a murder case in a nightclub in Los Angeles as the main line, and exposes the crimes of a city through several protagonists. In this process, the story is expressed and the service is the story, but it is portrayed. But it's the characters-almost every owner has a bright image and high spirits, and even more reveals their inner heart and growth background, so that the character's behavior and the development of the story are perfectly matched, without the slightest sense of artificiality. So, from a story perspective, it is perfect.
And when it comes to the director's shooting, it is even more amazing. The switching and editing of the film screen is very fast, so that every minute of the film is coherent, and there is no waste of two hours of film. There is also the choice of background music, which makes the artistic conception of each segment sublimated.
The performance of the actor, in my opinion, is impeccable, good and evil Jack, impulsive, wise and just.. Everyone has flesh and blood with a story, not empty or pretentious. This should be a collection of group dramas.
In short, the film is perfect, perfect story, perfect shooting, perfect actors, these three constitute a relatively deep theme-revealing the darkness of Los Angeles, expressing the greed of human nature, and more, But it’s talking about the darkness of the police or the broader ruling class-squandering human lives, bribery and betraying the law... The final justice is just a compromise, and it taught me a truth. Nothing is absolute justice. Principles will never apply. For bad guys, don’t fall into the trap of others for your own perseverance. Success is not an absolute stupid perseverance. You must learn to compromise, bartering things, and exchanging benefits is always the unchanging rule. Sometimes, violence is far away. It is faster and more practical than law or preaching.
A wonderful group drama, a beautiful story, you should not miss it.
