I used to think that HBO was a quality guarantee until I saw this film. The storyline is basically non-existent, the characters are thin, the emotions are hollow, the rhythm is disordered, and the dialogue is dull and mentally retarded.
Wasting such a good subject matter did not excavate the depth it deserved, making such a thrilling case dull and insignificant, and the masked bitterness and hatred of the masses and greedy capitalists seemed very superficial and naive.
Wasting such a good actor, did not give Robert De Niro any chance to show his wisdom, he was just a bad-tempered old man from beginning to end, so people who trust him unconditionally are all idiots; when the eldest son committed suicide, Michelle Without even giving her face, she gave an off-camera howl, and it wasn't because Xiaohua Xiaoxianrou couldn't cry and didn't dare to shoot; the roles of the two sons also had no room for development. It's very far-fetched, completely unable to substitute for the characters' emotions
