Nit had just told Danny that $2 million of the bureau's disability fund had been stolen, and asked him to talk in detail when he met at the park at 11:30 p.m. But less than a minute before Danny arrived, Nate had been killed.
Immediately afterwards, the internal investigation team came to search Danny's home, and was soon found evidence of embezzlement of public funds. And will be charged with the murder of Nite.
After Danny was cornered, in order to prove his innocence, he broke into the internal investigation team and took three hostages there. One of them is Nibon, the head of the internal investigation team.
Danny offered five conditions: 1) Bring my badge. 2) If I die, I will be buried as a police officer. 3) I want to know who the undercover police officer is, only he knows the truth and can prove my innocence. 4) I want to know who killed Nit. 5) Ask to negotiate face-to-face with Chris Sabine.
Danny Roman, played by Samuel, is a hostage negotiator. Kevin Spacey plays Chris Sabine, a hostage negotiator in another precinct. Why did he ask an outsider who he had met but was not familiar with to act as an intermediary in the negotiation? Because he can't trust the people around him. He did not know how many police officers around him were involved in mass corruption cases. He was convinced that in order to protect themselves, these people would definitely kill themselves to silence them. And only strangers on the outside can save their lives.
"When a friend betrays you, you can only choose to trust a stranger."
There are some very good plays:
Danny's closing speech was excellent, softening the hearts of most of the police officers present.
Danny teases Farley, the cop who answers the phone.
Danny interrogates Nibon. It is said that the police are dealing with liars all day long, and you can tell whether you are lying by looking at your eyes and never paying attention to your body language.
Chris Sabine hangs up Danny a second time.
Chief Trevors and the operations team's Baker seemed eager to kill Danny Roman. And the sniper Moran, who had been holding a toothpick all day, didn't pull the trigger in the end, because Danny's heart-to-heart shouting convinced him that Danny was innocent. Nibong's secretary, Maggie, also told Danny that Nibong's information was on his personal computer.
Danny asks Chris to find Nate's wife, who knows who Nate was to meet the night she died.
However, Chris found a disguised undercover agent to deceive Danny and release the hostages, and also to deter the police officers present with ghosts. But a few words were seen by Danny one by one. At this time, Nibon's computer showed that the undercover agent was Neeson Rangnick of the internal investigation team.
Danny also played psychological warfare with Chris at this time. He told Chris: Nibon has told the truth and is willing to give everyone's names in court. This time, the action team rushed in and destroyed Nibong's computer. Nibong was also shot three times and died.
The chaotic scene caused the FBI, who had been watching for a long time, to take over the command of the operation.
Seeing that the FBI is about to rush in, Maggie tells Danny that Nit's recording may be on Nibon's computer. Chris assisted Danny to get to Nibon's house and found the recordings. However, the police who were chasing and the FBI who were chasing also arrived one after another...
The highlight of the film is the showdown between two senior hostage negotiators. These two masters, one is calm and calm in the face of danger, and the other is witty and agile, which is amazing!
