a true record

Very realistic shooting style, black and white pictures make people feel depressing.

In the recorded film, the director also expressed his own opinions.

At the end of the film, when the two Killers are executed, the conversation between the two who should be police officers is thought-provoking.

"That's it?"
"That's it. Four innocent people and two criminals lost their lives, and then no one is responsible for this anymore. . . . And next year, the same thing will still happen. Continue to happen."
"Or this incident will prevent similar incidents from happening again."
"Do you think it will?"


And the last criminal said before execution: I want to say: I'm sorry. But who can I tell?



And the director omits the killing process, and then repeats it from the criminal's mouth at the end of the film, which is very good.

Overall a good movie, I recommend it.

    Perry: On what? $43 and a smile and bullshit.

    [First use of the word 'bullshit' in a Hollywood film]

    Dick: You guessed it, chief. It's the smile that does it. Like it says in the commercials, the family that sticks together lives forever.

  • Perry: [to himself, looking in a bathroom mirror] Stick 'em up!

    Perry: Hey, buddy!

    Perry: [realizing he's being watched] How long you been standin' there?
