The traffic in New York is probably the busiest in the world, so that the mayor can only go to work by rail. To make a fuss on this, it must be a big deal. Shooting such a movie on location in NYC cost a lot of money, and the remuneration of the two leading actors should not be low. Therefore, despite the investment of 100 million US dollars, but not seeing any large-scale special effects scenes, it is really against the purpose of popcorn movies. The film did not pursue the usual sense of speed and tension of similar films, but joined the confrontation between the two leading actors in the air. The confession room-style questioning, the choice between human life and guilt, added points to the performance of the two ace actors, but it was meaningless to the film as a whole. The ending of the film also seems to serve the two protagonists, confronting each other head-on, without any suspense at all. Judging from the information given in the film, the money earned in the gold market is far greater than 10 million, and the film could have arranged a rather gray and helpless ending. The limelight of the two protagonists overshadowed the whole incident. Writing about people is more important than writing about things. This kind of crime movie is worthless.
The film's admiration for rail transit can be seen everywhere. Without the subway, the mayor will be late, the ransom will not be delivered, the criminals will not run far, the employees of the subway can block bullets for the people (except for the police and retired soldiers, the subway drivers are all dead), and they can still be the savior at the critical moment. , the NYC subway is really a safe and fast way of transportation.
