In 1974, Al and Robert co-starred in the second episode of "The Godfather", but they had no rivals, they played father and son from different eras.
After that, both Al and Robert became superstars, with similar styles and styles, but they never collaborated anymore.
In 1995's "Stealing Wire", the two men had a real rivalry.
"The Wire of Fire" boldly arranges opposing police and criminals as the protagonists of the story at the same time. Although Wu Yusen used a similar arrangement in "Blood Jianghu", the police and criminals in this type of film generally do not face each other to the end.
The two protagonists in "Stealing Fire" have always been opposites in the movie, and in the end they end up with life and death.
The two lines in "Line of Fire" are also very touching when viewed separately. The lonely and lost policeman persistently hunts down criminals; the lonely and calm thieves are full of blood and affection.
The film deliberately displays these two imperfect but very attractive characters slowly and alternately in front of the audience, allowing the audience to identify with them step by step, and then put the two people into a life-and-death situation. When two people slowly approached with guns, it was difficult for the audience to decide who should fall.
However, the charm of this movie does not stop there. What is more moving is his portrayal of characters and his description of friendship.
Both of them are very good at their jobs. As policemen or thieves, they are determined and decisive to make the most correct judgments the fastest. On the other hand, they are very lonely. They have seen too much blood and darkness, they may lose their lives at any time, these are doomed to their loneliness. But they are different. One prefers to be alone, while the other intends to end his robbery career for the sake of his lover.
These make these two opposing people have the same essence, they seem to be two sides of the same person. Although the city is big, only this enemy can understand itself. Although he must kill the opponent, he can hold the opponent's hand tightly before the opponent breathes.
What is more moving in the movie is the outline of the city of LA. Just like the breath revealed by the light rail sliding across the night sky of the city at the beginning of the movie, this city is cold and lonely, with bastards and poor people living in them, they can destroy themselves at any time, silently.
The third actor in the movie is Val Kilmer, who performed well. He and his wife looked at a scene where they broke up, which made people sigh.
