Only gangsters, no violence

A gangster movie based on a true historical event. Johnny Depp's toughest performance since a movie. From the beginning to the end, I can't help feeling that this film is simply the Taishan Beidou of undercover movies. I also remembered that "The Disciple" starring Andy Lau and Wu Yanzu was nothing more than an axe. Although the film is a classic gangster film. But compared with traditional gangster films such as the "Godfather" series, "The Loyal Traitor" is more unusual. The whole film seems to see only gangsters and no violence. Therefore, this film is more like an atypical gangster film, a gangster film mainly based on literary drama. Of course, the success of this film must be thanks to the superb performances of Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, two old and new acting stars. Later Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor Paul Giamatti also made a small face in the film. Although it's a 1997 movie, Paul Giamatti's baldness doesn't seem any different from what it looks like today. Well, Xie Ding is to look young!
