In the beginning, two gunmen tried to kill Eddie. Jack fought hard to repel the gangster and hid in a tavern with Eddie panicked. After calling for help, Jack partnered with Frank, an old friend of twenty years, to the tavern to plan Jack's job. But just when Jack was about to leave the tavern, he found a gun aimed at Eddie. Jack, who had always been indifferent, picked up the gun and saved Eddie. Jack discovered that Eddie was hunted down by these New York police officers because he saw the whole process of one of the police officers' killing, and these police officers were afraid that if something happened to that police officer, all their affairs would be shaken out. So the old detective Jack and the young man Eddie started a 16-block war against all the New York police.
I don't want to talk about the development of the film. There is nothing unexpected, but one of the scenes is still very exciting. Jack and Eddie got on a bus, and after the tires were blown by the chaser, they stopped and were surrounded by groups. Old Jack was very clever to make the police outside think that he was taking hostages, and then he released all the people in the car including Eddie who escaped in the crowd. Jack knew that the police would soon know that he was the only one left in the car, and the commando would soon rush into the car and kill him. He picked up an interview machine that fell on the car and began to leave a last word...At this moment, a loud voice rang out from outside the car, "Don't shoot!... Don't shoot!" Eddie went and returned, while Stop the sniper from shooting while trying to get back to the bus. It turned out that Eddie was unwilling to save his life many times and the old Jack died unexplainably, and it was the shadow in his heart that made Jack never have the courage to face life. The two of them once discussed a topic, Jack believed that people cannot be changed, and that he was a bad person if he did bad things. Old Jack was convinced of this. Eddie returned to the bus. Jack was surprised that he had gone and returned. Eddie didn't care so much, he just shouted to Jack, "Chuck Berry and Barry White, they used to go to jail for robbery and theft, but they changed. You say people It won't change, but they have changed, and people can change." When I first saw it, I really couldn't figure it out. Who are Chuck Berry and Barry White? I searched on Google and found out that they are all famous black musicians in the early last century. They all committed crimes in their teenage years, but this did not affect their success. In the end, Jack strengthened his conviction under the influence of Eddie, leading Eddie to stand out. In order to protect Eddie, Jack asked him to find his sister he had never met in Seattle and open a coveted cake shop in Seattle, where he had always been yearning. Jack himself served as a taint witness instead of Eddie to testify against the police who broke the law-including Jack. Own.
The final ending is very happy. On Jack’s birthday, he blew out the birthday cake that Eddie sent him. It said "Chuck Berry, Barry White, Jack Mosley, Eddie Bunker, people can change." The final picture is Jack took the picture sent by Eddie and asked his sister to take a picture of himself, and he laughed from ear to ear.
The film adheres to Willis's always personal heroism. This feature of his film is not as powerful as Superman and Spiderman, but a sense of justice as a petty citizen. He also had fear, fear and hesitation, but in the end he defeated all of this. He has always been said to be a blue-collar hero, but I think this kind of hero is even more popular because he appears real and easy to accept. In this film, we can see old Jack’s big belly, sparse hair, and inflexible legs, but it is the image of an old policeman that tells us that a sense of justice is a necessary quality for a hero.
It is worth mentioning that the actor Mos Def who played the role of the black boy Eddie showed superb acting skills and did not show any disadvantages in the same scene as the old superstar. I have hardly seen his performance before, and now I think he is very good, and I should pay more attention to him afterwards.
