But even with these routines, this film is also a classic, a wonderful process of verbal playing with police officers.
Five seemingly unrelated people were turned into suspects at the same time because of the robbery of a car with guns. Later, another very beautiful scene happened because of "to give the police some color and save their own face." The kidnapping case broke the ugly alliance between the taxi company and the police. Then when they were selling, they found a drug dealer in California who could introduce them to their business. The drug dealer introduced their business to let them rob a jeweler. They found out that they had been cheated and knew that the drug dealer had a purpose. The drug dealer said that it was a lawyer who wanted to see them. This lawyer was Caesar Susie’s confidant. The lawyer Kobayashi said that the five of them were assembled by Caesar. The robbery and other things they had done were robbed of Caesar. Things, now they are asked to do something for Caesar. There is a transaction on a boat that may threaten Caesar, and hope they will stop the transaction. The lawyer took out the detailed information of the five of them to let them know that Caesar is a magical existence. One of the five people found it too dangerous and was killed by the sea as a result of running away. The four refused to accept that they planned to kill Attorney Kobayashi. They did not expect that the lawyer had found Dean Keaton's wife and threatened them, and at the same time threatened them with other people's families. The other four could only accept this "order". In the process, everyone else died. Only verbal survived, saying that he himself saw Caesar Susie shoot Dean Keaton with his own eyes. Verbal has always expressed his trust in Dean Keaton during his dealings with the police officer.
As for the police, the other survivor on the ship told the truth. That ship was not a drug deal, but a person to be protected by the Arab gang who was going to oppose Caesar. It was an informant who had seen Caesar and could be identified. The four of them were used by Caesar to kill the people on the boat. Use thieves to kill thieves, and all the evidence points to Dean Keaton.
At the end of the film, the police officer who interrogated Verbal found that there was everything Verbal said on the wall of the office, and even the bottom of the coffee cup requested by Verbal at the beginning of the film, including the names of people and places, was the source of verbal's fictional stories. All these things were verbally planned, making the police think that Dean Keaton was the boss Caesar, which is also the classic story structure of the suspense story.
The ending rhythm of the film is slightly faster, and the most exciting thing is that the audience does not know whether the things experienced by these five people actually happened, because all the names are fictitious. I watched verbal many times in the last ten seconds, like a face change.
This is not a movie review, I can only sort it out by myself. Good night.
