Secondly, if the film wants to recreate the glory of the old-school police and criminal film of the year, it must have an eye-catching story or a memorable narrative like "L.A. Confidential", but unfortunately it has not been done.
Third, although the narrative has continuous small climaxes of gunfights from beginning to end, there are no memorable episodes. In other words, although each gunfight fight scene is evenly arranged throughout the film, the mood of the entire scene is still controlled. Appears mediocre, the last paragraph is even shoddy (this can be analyzed by shots one by one).
Fourth, all-star actors are wasted. Sean Penn is aggressive and ferocious, but still has a little less aura than De Niro; Brolin is more than brave and lacks in background; Gosling and Emma Stone are played at a level, but the two roles have no basis and thin foundation. A little bit.
Most of the director's effort is used to produce good-looking pictures: high-quality scenery, dress and styling in the 1950s (gangsters, drugs, dome hats, nightclubs, these are the signs of Los Angeles in the 1950s and 1960s), lighters shine The close-up shots of the gangsters, the horizontal shifting shots and upgrades of the black squad during law enforcement, plus the 360-degree high-quality appearance of the star casts without dead ends, visual enjoyment can still be guaranteed.
It's been a long time since I saw such a magnificent work of the golden mean. I set up a big stage and sang a very ordinary play.
