Being tortured by the terrifying speed of the actors' speech, I always wondered that this movie didn't seem to reflect the policeman's process.

Gradually the invisible pressure hit, and the old policeman seemed to have everything under his control. He searched all the way and found a suspect who was very close to the murderer. All the suspects seemed to point to him. But this suspect happens to be a case-solving enthusiast. He knows all the means and methods of the police to solve cases. He is very familiar with interrogation, tracking, including the police's usual house search and other methods. Action becomes invisible. The "murderer" of the case is right in front of you, but if there is no evidence to arrest him, the two police officers are at a loss. The two made their last move, just staring at him to see if he did anything wrong. But he was not in a hurry, this infinitely close but untouchable torture almost drove the new policeman crazy, for the same reason that the old policeman made mistakes. Police intuition can sometimes be helpful in solving crimes, but sometimes it can also bring everything to a standstill and get into a dead end...

In the end, the suspect led the new cop into a clearing, and used the new cop's thirst to find the body to keep stirring up the new cop. In the end, the new police couldn't bear it anymore and hacked the suspect to death with a shovel. The old policeman arrived and hid the truth for the new policeman, just as his friend hid it for him back then. And after the incident, he handed him the red-haired card that the new policeman had been looking for, and let him come out, but I don't know what the effect will be...

I really don't know if the suspect is the murderer... But the two police officers who are serious and responsible and a little conceited about their own judgments were driven crazy by all this and became a knot in their hearts forever. The clues brought them infinitely closer to the truth, but it was also a knot that tormented them and couldn't get rid of them, so they tried their best to cover up, and they happened to be covering up their own clues, which is really ironic!

The story gets more and more exciting at the end. The front is really dull and I fell asleep several times.

Denzel Washington is worthy of the best actor. He killed an innocent woman by mistake and tried his best to suppress himself. The boring old policeman who has nowhere to tell is penetrating. His support and concern for his younger generation is also empathetic. Heroes cherish each other, making everything logical .
