A lackluster insider

The cast is strong but actually lacklustre.

It’s not difficult to guess that the real robbers were mixed into the hostages and escaped. But the most important thing is how the cell where the leader of the robber hid was made without explanation. The whole movie is focused on Inspector Fraser and the rescued hostage It's a robber), but there is another problem here. When a robber pretends to be a hostage and is rescued, the director suspects that there are still four robbers in front of the camera. This naive trick is very boring. The real suspense creates a blind spot in the mind instead of deceiving the audience with the camera.

The elements of Judea, Nazis, brokerage, Albania, and Taliban inserted in the play are just like that. In a diverse and chaotic city like New York, no deeper meaning can be digged.

The ring that left the clue at last and the solo diamond that gave Denzel are barely enough for the film.

In my expectation, I originally hoped that more of the hostages would have been arranged long ago, and even all the hostages would be kidnappers, so that they would be the real "insiders" instead of pushing the banker and the mayor up. .
