escape to paradise, live in the hell

If it wasn't for Sean Penn, who I like, to star in, I wouldn't want to watch this botched movie. It is botched because the story is simple and confusing. It is neither like the panoramic description of family crime inheritance in "The Godfather", nor does it see the deep digging and accusation of gangs. Some are just rough imitations of "The Godfather." Adding a little description of the depravity of a black lawyer, Al Pacino's old-style boss background and loyal love can only be useless for the movie. Sean Penn is my favorite Hollywood actor, surpassing Nicholas Cage and Philip Seymour Hoffman. He is also the most favorite actor of the American Film Critics Association. If you have to compare an actor with it, only Robert De Niro is the only one. He is not like other Hollywood actors who just perform and explain the role. He is enjoying the performance and treats each movie as an irreplaceable experience in his life. The role in the movie is not only his performance object, but also Part of his life.
The story of the film is relatively simple. Once the heroin king was defended and released from prison by a friend's lawyer, "if you have any kindness, you will be repaid", which shows that Calido still retains the underworld morality that is not commensurate with this era. I hope that the golden basin will wash my hands and make money to run a taxi company with my beloved woman in the Bahamas, "escape to paradise". Obviously, your history will not abandon you. Back then, when you wanted to go to Central Park and was despised by a gangster holding a gun, you must carry a gun every time you go out, which means you will die here sooner or later. "Swordsman must die by the sword", Gospel I said it a long time ago. He didn't believe in evil right after he was released from prison, and felt that he would be famous for his own ability, but he almost ran errands for his nephew. Later, when he followed the lawyer David's words to join the nightclub, he finally had a place to stay. Then he worked hard to make money and behave like a man, but forgot that the nightclub itself is not a clean place. Later, he was jealous with Italy's Benny, failed and did not move to murder, so that his brothers looked down upon him, and finally he was betrayed by his brothers. Since you don't want to be who you were, why do you let your brothers like you come to see the scene? You have changed, but your brothers haven't changed.
People have had ideals before. Kyle wanted to be a dancer, but in the end she became a stripper. Although she was also a "dance", she should give up herself morally. It is unnecessary to talk about other reasons. David also wanted to dedicate himself to justice, but if you defend the criminal, you should understand that sooner or later you will become a criminal, because you understand. This damn it is a place where you can be imprisoned for thirty years, five years, and not guilty. "live in the hell", what kind of law will be. Why can the Italian Mafia from Sicily be unique in the United States, because everyone understands their style of doing things and will not give up unless they achieve their goals. This makes the big guys from Russia, the drug dealers from Mexico, the human traffickers from China, and niggas all feel ashamed.
Nothing is courteous, and if you do not commit crimes you will steal. Be extremely correct. Be wary of every former friend who doesn't contact often. Contact means that you won't let you go if you don't lose money or even bleed some blood. Therefore, the underworld is not easy to mess with, no brains, no life-defying temperament, forget it. Otherwise, you will not wait until dawn!

    This rivers and lakes, as you wish; this world, how sad. If you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Talking about redemption, you are still stuck in one bottomless pit after another. Where did you come from, what is the morality of the rivers and lakes, but it is just self-deception by intrigue. If you are stuck in this quagmire, it is difficult for you to extricate yourself, and the dirty feet that are pulled out will not be able to move forward neatly in this troubled world. The wonderful chase scene at the end, I can only watch it a hundred times over and over again!

    The story itself is lackluster, but when the train station is chasing, there is a two-minute and 21-second long shot of the movement in one go. I can't help but download the film to relive this paragraph. In addition, I have to complain about the film archive. After the opening, people continue to walk around. Noisy and noisy can be regarded as a problem for the audience. However, the obvious noise during the screening process really affects the perception. In this comparison, the effect of cinema film may not be as good as 720P alone.
