Many students recommended this film to me n days ago, and it took me an afternoon to finish watching it patiently. In the past two years, I didn’t know what to do with my time. I even felt extravagant to watch an American drama, let alone two hours and thirty minutes.
My overall feeling is that the story of the film is relatively long. The movie took about half of the time to introduce the lives of the frustrated policeman and the black boss, and the two met at the end. Washington's performance is quite satisfactory, and Crowe seems to have never seen everyone on the screen. I haven't watched Gladiator, the last impression of him stops at proof of life. There are several shots that excite me in the whole film:
1. When the words Scott Free appeared in the title, I felt that it was another collaboration between Scott and Washington, which made me look forward to it (Later I discovered that the director was Ridley Scott instead of Tony Scott)
2.Frank tilted the bullet frantically at the beginning of the film to the person who kept talking birdy while burning, bang bang bang, the weapon dubbing was quite in place
3. After Frank took office, he took his brother into the business, and during the meal he went to the street to solve an enemy. Before he died, he happily said to Frank's muzzle: What are you gonna do, man? Shoot me? Then, in the crowd, gunfire sounded. There is momentum.
4. Richie and the female lawyer (stewardess?) bought it in a certain room in the courthouse and went crazy
. After Frank went to prison, he assisted Richie in investigating the issue of bribery police. Richie resigned and became a lawyer after Frank's case was closed. And his first client was Frank Lucas. With Frank's active cooperation and Richie's unremitting efforts, Frank's 70-year sentence was reduced to 15 years, and he was released from prison in 1991.
It is also adapted from a real case. Frank is a bit of Chris in Man on fire in the film. The story and character settings of the entire film are very similar to Lord of war. The protagonists are all engaged in illegal activities. Of course, the wives are very beautiful, and they are almost all beauty pageants. In the eyes of outsiders, life is decent, regular, and marriage is blissful. The ending is naturally brought to justice by violent agencies. The police officers of violent agencies are more or less more or less these bad guys have some private contact, research, and even sympathy.
At the end of the film, Richie helped Frank to be released from prison decades earlier. I was a little touched by this friendship.
