There is no doubt that this is a typical Lumet-style film! The classic masterpieces of the old man in his early years "Twelve Angry Men" and "Murder on the Orient Express" reflect his ability to portray the characters' subtle psychology. In this film , this point can still be carried forward. Andy's boldness and directness, Hank's hesitation and submissiveness, are all vividly displayed. In addition, since the story needs to turn the perspective from multiple characters, in order to avoid falling into a stereotype, in the narrative technique , Rumet adopted the popular multi-line narrative technique, and used the time difference to ingeniously connect the plots to make the viewing process smoother. Another advantage of this is that the switching of different characters' perspectives can bring the audience a subjective experience. The pleasure of solving puzzles adds to the sense of destiny and adds to the tragic meaning of the ending.
Compared with , shows the essence of multi-line narrative!
By the way, I really liked Ethan Classmate Hawke, but for this film, I have to say Philip Seymour Hoffman, the best actor is the best actor!
