Another clue, another serial murder case, and another veteran police detective Denzel Washington, the first half obviously leads the audience into the ditch of solving mysterious and unsolved cases with their wisdom throughout their lives, but the plot is very protracted and fragmented. The second half of the plot turned into a story of a police detective torturing his conscience. It is obvious that the director is teasing you and insulting the IQ of the audience.
For chasing the murderer and discussing the moral conscience of police detectives, these two things are best not to be linked together in a movie, because time is limited and it is not easy to understand. Or a cool film about fighting wits and courage with a high-IQ serial killer, or an in-depth discussion of the impact and loss of the police detectives’ mistakes in handling the case to themselves, their families, and society, and how to obtain redemption. The director did not make it clear. .
Police detective handling cases is a high-risk profession. Unintentional mistakes are bound to exist. Every police officer has a secret world deep in his heart. There must be many unjust, false and wrong cases. Not many detectives retired from Enron. This subject matter is actually very attractive. There are many stories in American dramas where a family and life are destroyed by a case. There is absolutely no need for the director to put on the cloak of a serial murder case that is still unsolved. The routine of this kind of film is usually to come out again, catch the real culprit, and redeem his conscience.
The biggest inspiration of the film to the audience should be the suspect who was shot to death by a shovel. The film warns everyone: When encountering the kind of police detective in the film who is almost paranoid and insane, it is better to cooperate well. In the film, the suspect is suspected, and he continues to be mysterious and provocative, which is indeed the rhythm of courting death.
