Seems like this is what someone asked Jack Mosley: You should do what you always do

Jack Mosley is an old cop, exhausted, can't run, takes medicine a lot, doesn't have a gun yet, is an alcoholic As fateful, dim-witted and clumsy, it's hard to imagine this being a hero.

He has a responsibility to protect a witness and travel across sixteen blocks. This is the task given to him by his boss. Although he is not very awake, since he has received the task, he has to complete it. In the middle of it, I also sneaked a little wine, so there was a problem, and someone tried to murder the witness.

There are no special feelings, but he must protect his responsibilities until the truth is revealed that the police were involved. Cops don't beat cops, do they?

What are we looking for? Comfortable life? Friendship? It's still a persistent value. Maybe I rarely think about it, but in the face of contradictions, what to do. He is not a hero in the true sense, but in the face of difficult challenges, he hesitated to choose his own decision, and did not make himself feel pain in his heart, despite the hardships.

The founding of the United States is based on the values ​​of the Puritans. Although we do not think that the United States is a religious country, the spirit of religion is deeply permeated in every corner, and movies are a carrier of culture. That's why I despise film junk like the Golden Armor.

It's not easy to do what you've been doing by yourself, a kind of ascetic persistence, a kind of dedication to personal beliefs, small things, ordinary people, the short distance of sixteen blocks, the test It's not just Jack Mosley, the alcoholic, old-fashioned and clumsy, who is testing each of us.
