I also want to watch it for the two leading actors, but the plot is relatively weak, not thrilling, touching, or devious, which is relatively bland in this type of film. What is more speechless is the episode of wireless Internet access, which is simply pulling and pulling, no one sees a living computer~~~~ Finally, the sensational element of true confession is added, which is so vulgar that it is outrageous! Of course, the performances of the two best actors are still okay. The little hero played by Denzel Washington is very real, so real that he can only obey and accept bribes. He is not a perfect good guy; It feels like he has become a professional bad guy now. Evil, cynical and arrogant are just like performances for him, without the slightest trace of performance.

After the second brush, I feel that the story is too superficial. The theme is about the black government, but it is not convincing in terms of characterization. The typical Hollywood narrative stops abruptly where it can be deepened. The control of the scene is more mature than before, and the second time is smoother than the first time.

Pretty compact. Some of the dialogue is pretty good. "Just because I'm a ferocious looking black man", "It's my only plan", "Taking the MRT is faster than a car", "Why not use a plane"

Walter Garber: You got it, you got it... any other demands?
Ryder: Yeah, well no fucking pizza delivery man.
Walter Garber: No, I mean are you guys like... are you terrorists?
Ryder: Do I sound like a terrorist? Do I terrorize you?
Walter Garber: Actually you don't, but not that I've ever talked to one. So, so... what, this is just about money?
Ryder: Oh, is there anything else?
Walter Garber: There's not dying.
Ryder: Yeah, well you know you live, you die, you either go with the current or you fight it. We all end up at the same place.
Walter Garber: Where's that, Jersey?
Ryder: Yeah, you watch it I was born there man.
Walter Garber: You know I'm just saying, you know you're up in a motorman's cab... so that means you know you're on the radio, which means that you're an easy target. You gotta know the drill.
Ryder: Yeah, I know that soon I won't be alone and If I'm the first to get shot... I'm the first of many to get shot.
Walter Garber: That's correct, but then you'd still be dead.
Ryder: Dead is an improvement on a lot of things I can think of, buddy boy.
Supervisor: Sounds like he slept with my ex.

Walter Garber: No, that's marriage... that's another thing.
