"If he hurts your men, you kill him. That's the rule in Chicago."

I saw some film critics say that this film has a flawed IQ. "When he took the commanding heights during the shootout, he hesitated... When the prisoner threw himself into the net, he had already surrendered legally, but he was stubborn because of his stubbornness. Murder by hand." So say a few words.

This plot is not a flaw in the director's design, but rather a well-thought-out plot. In the first half of the film, the protagonist Ness is still a program-oriented idealist, so the old policeman Malone has a conversation with him in the church. Marlon asked Ness, "You said you wanted to know, how to take Capone down. What are you going to do? If you fail, what are you going to do? If you're going to fight them, you're going to keep fighting because they're sure Will fight you to the death. If you want to catch Capone, be better than him, if he draws a knife, you draw a gun, if he hurts your subordinates, you kill his minions. That's the rule in Chicago, that's what The way to catch Capone." It is this dialogue that echoes the later episodes of the pair.

Malone was killed. At the moment of catching the killer, Ness also tried to maintain his idealism, so he did not shoot. But when the killer taunted him triumphantly, saying that Malone screamed like a pig before he died, and that he would be released by the court, Ness finally became a hard-line detective like Malone and executed justice. He then went back to court and said to Capone, the Godfather of the Mafia, "I'll keep fighting you."

That's the rule in Chicago. The only law against the mafia.

    When I saw one-third of it, I thought it was a funny film; when I saw two-thirds, I already thought it was a heavy film... Connelly’s hand-held follow-up filming before his death, Morricone’s music Cooperation, unexpected results, the cry of the baby in the background-the master. Even better, the old policeman’s crawling before death is directly montage of opera excerpts (if you heard it correctly, it should be an excerpt from Pagliacci’s Harlequin)-this montage is worth noting. If you look closely, Connelly before death is In the joke player. Close-up close-up of the opera actor, slowly zooming out, focusing on De Niro in the far part of the stand. The killer flashed behind him, and De Niro was crying for the "Harlequin"! Wonderful! That's fine. A gun battle at the train station should have been written into a movie textbook! In "Infernal Affairs",

    Brian De Palma's gangster film is actually not much worse than Scorsese's, with big-name stars to help, the tight plot, shots, soundtrack, and the atmosphere at the station is too good. It's nice to be married, a classic line.
