It is almost a matter of course to make such an infernal story into a movie. The next question is who to shoot and how to do it. Mike Newell's reputation is neither big nor small, but he is very thoughtful: The boss is known to everyone on the earth, but do you know that there are still unlucky people like Lao Zuo who are as diligent and hard-working but never have a bright future? Needless to say, you can guess the dangerous situation of the undercover, but can you imagine him wandering between morality and law, betrayal and justice? It is said that Director Hoover did not advocate the placement of undercover agents because he was afraid that they would get bad habits; but after watching this film, you will find that the bigger problem is not the ambiguity of identity, but the guillotine of brothers and friends who are like father and son. How much conscientious condemnation should this be? As Donnie said in the film, That's the same thing as if I put the bullet in his head myself. He wanted to buy a boat for Lao Zuo and let him fly far away; Lao Zuo said that if there must be a spy, he would be very happy. It's him. Donnie finally won a medal and five hundred yuan, leaving a blank face; the film did not explain the home of the old Zuo, but the scene where Al Pacino finally emptied his pocket and went out silently was sad. The real situation is: The meeting that Lao Zuo was going to was indeed a banquet, but was stopped by the FBI; the FBI wanted him to be a taint witness, but was rejected by Lao Zuo; organizationally, he decided not to pursue his loyalty to Donnie. The guarantee was over; Lao Zuo never believed that Donnie was an undercover agent until he confronted him in court; Lao Zuo was finally imprisoned for 11 years and died of cancer shortly after being released.
