You weren't there.

It always felt a bit familiar, so I checked imdb and found out that Joe Carnahan was the first screenwriter - it really felt like Narc a few years ago - but there was no directing tube. Removed Joe Carnahan's gorgeous violent aesthetics, and there is no flashback of stream of consciousness, sharp cuts and other not necessarily neccessary dazzling skills, leaving only the cliché but full of stories told in a back-to-basics realistic tone, and acting skills The pie is in a dazzling show. Of course, compared to the epic tension of David Fincher's Zodiac, this film is slightly inferior, but the word "wonderful" in the dictionary does not need to include the number one in the world.
There is really nothing to say about the plot. It's not that I don't want spoilers, but that I don't think spoilers are necessary. But the feeling is a little bit. The law can be defined as an unequal treaty signed by the privileged class and the non-privileged class. However, the non-privileged class needs this unequal treaty as a basic survival guarantee and a bottom line of behavior, as long as they do not cross this line (such as taking a flat iron). Burning baby's face, etc.), can still be forgiven. People with a strong sense of self-moral superiority (whether they have a strong or weak voice) can wield the hammer of justice, truth and justice to try to crucify you. you and you alone. The reporter said: You are like each other, burying the truth. The gloomy cop said: Don't tell me about the truth, you have no idea what it takes to do what we do. You weren't there. It was, Most people weren't there, but they just won't stop babbling.
But, you don't have to be there, you have to be somewhere, it's almost the same wherever you live. Quoting Gu Long's classic assertion, it's just another story of "people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves".

    Except for the different character structure, the rest of the story is similar to that of Los Angeles Confidential, and the expression of family emotions is obviously too weak, and even a bit bluffing. Norton doesn't seem very good at picking movies for himself.
