Inside, Demi Moore, can't hide her old age, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, the sagging facial muscles...all tell us that this woman is no longer the youth she used to be. However, time can not only make people grow old, but also can experience a person, so that his life experience can be accumulated, and the rest seems to be the essence. In this film, Demi Moore shows a mature and charming woman, full of intellectual brilliance, her performance is just right, and she shows a woman's unique sensitivity and nervousness. Especially in the face of the detective's questioning, she kept rubbing her nails covered with Kodan behind her back.
In this film, the weight of the old actor Michael Caine is also very important. It seems that in recent years, the older Michael Caine is, the more suitable he is to play a wily role, whether it is the weird and dark writer husband in "Footprints", or the thoughtful old cleaner Mr. Habs in this film, precisely because of Caine's The superb performance has created a three-dimensional and plump figure for the old man who has been thinking about it for 15 years. It also improves the credibility of the "unbelievable" diamond robbery in the film, and also reveals a touch of lamentation and sorrow. And his last conversation with Demi Moore and his life experiences made people think a little bit about wealth, power, life value, and human emotions. These scenes are unfolded by Kane's strong acting talent, which shows its depth and breadth, and also points out the main theme of the film.
This revenge has nothing to do with money, rights, or politics. It's just a pure emotional entanglement. This revenge, Hobbs spent 15 years planning, just for the final blow. And the beautiful female supervisor was accidentally involved because of her own ambition.
This film, many people have pointed out how many bugs it has, but the excellent performance of the two leading actors has made this film a good film that should not be missed. The rhythm is relaxed and the suspense is endless. From the very beginning, the female reporter asked: Have you just come out of prison? Quinn didn't answer her. We didn't know until the end that Quinn didn't go to jail, but got the ransom demanded by Hobbs to save the poor in South Africa who suffered because of diamonds. And later, Hobbs comes out of the building, the camera keeps staring at the coffee mug in his hand, and his heart skips a beat as he moves. It wasn't until he emptied the coffee mug that we seemed to understand that he had a big shot. And Hobbs' motives are also revealed to us at the end.
The film's approach is somewhat similar to The Insider. It is also for the purpose of not money, to enter the heavily guarded bank (diamond company) through a scheme. and successfully achieve their goals. However, the motives of the thieves in "The Insider" seem to be more noble and more violent. The rhythm of the film is basically slow, but the atmosphere has been tense. There is a degree of relaxation, and it is indeed worth seeing. For a similar theme, see "Blood Diamond".
