I always feel that I have seen this film, but there is no label. In the relaxed state of mind of watching it again, I clicked on the play while nibbling on melon seeds.
Anyway, judging from the plot introduction and cast configuration, you already know what kind of movie this is.
An anti-corruption Hollywood blockbuster.
In the first act, let's see how the director creates the protagonist.
The movie opens with the criminal taking the hostage. The protagonist Danny tries to convince the criminal, but the process is not smooth. The police are going to attack by force. In the process of communicating with the criminal, guide the criminal to the window, let the opposite sniper shoot down, and successfully rescue the hostage.
Character profile: smart, strong confidence, heroism, paving the way for the choice of the protagonist later.
As soon as the camera turns, it is the director's birthday party, and the first scene ends.
At the party, his partner told him that there was a ghost in the police station, but he didn't tell him who he was. He was going to meet for a second time, but when Danny arrived, his partner had already been killed, and Danny was identified as the murderer, so he got involved. Corruption cases (slightly old-fashioned).
The second act, the main film begins.
The director asked Danny to hand over a gun and a police badge, and the lawyer persuaded him to plead guilty and seek a reduced sentence. Under the circumstances that everyone believed that he had killed someone, Danny kidnapped the Minister of Inspector and demanded negotiations to find out the real murderer. (Boy, that didn't come to mind.)
Danny closed the curtains, blocked the entrance, the police acted quickly, pulled out the cordon, the sniper was in place, the game between the two sides began, and the first climax officially began (on the one hand, we guessed who the murderer was, and on the other hand, we were worried about Dan Ni's safety, start to play.)
And now, 40 minutes into the movie, our other protagonist (Speen) just came on the scene, and he was still trying to adjust the quarrel between his wife and daughter (what a man character), and received a call from Danny. Talk to him within 20 minutes.
In order to convince the police of his determination, Danny killed a policeman who broke in (the reverse left a foreshadowing).
Spinn arrived in time to talk to Danny (Confrontation 1), but the police suddenly broke through the window (action scene conflict). Ni's words influenced the hesitation and gave up (reversed).
Spinn stopped the police and took control of the home court again. The part of hanging up the phone was especially exciting (Confrontation 2). Danny also found some information on the computer and asked for electricity. Spinn took this as a threat and took back a hostage forcefully. (laying a foreshadowing), the crowd cheered.
Danny finds clues again and asks Spinn: Ask his partner's wife who the informant is, and put another hostage. Spinn finds the hostages and asks all the hostages to be exchanged. Danny exposes that the informant is a fake, and that he is anti-frauding the police. The Minister of Supervision has already revealed the list of ghosts. (invert conflict)
At this time, the police acted unilaterally, and in the second raid (action scene conflict), the Minister of Inspector died in the melee. Spinn also lost control of the game. Danny asked Spinn to help him. After discovering that Danny did not kill, Spinn compromised. (contradiction escalates)
The hostage was rescued, and the female secretary said that the two were going to the Minister of Supervision's house to find evidence. (again let the heart hang in the throat)
Act three, start.
Danny and Speen found no evidence, but the police had arrived. (conflict)
In the midst of the crisis, Speen fired a shot at Danny, said that he had obtained the evidence, demanded a share, and said everything. (The biggest reversal, but in fact, the audience should be able to guess that there was a fraud before, plus Spinn's righteous face).
The story ends.
The third act is slightly inferior to the second, but after watching it, I still want to stand up and applaud!
I was watching a popcorn movie, I didn't expect it to be so exciting! A classic textbook under the Hollywood industrial standard system!
Take a look at this pressing plot step by step, the exciting conflict reversal, keeping the rhythm tight and fast at the same time with strict logic, the two leading actors' mutual acting skills, the stalemate confrontation part is extremely exciting, the most important action scenes of commercial films and big dramas. The scene is also full of exciting and exciting, and it properly promotes the development of the plot. After 20 years, it is also a commercial film with a first-class rhythm!
Supplement: The above is the plot written based on the impression. Next time, I will try to supplement the analysis of the movie from the lens, scene, angle, content, sound, etc.
