Final Shot Shot Caller (2017)
"Game of Thrones" in the new gangster film of the kingslayer Nicola Coster-Waldau, a very sturdy man's play. Although there are some flaws in the character setting and the logic of the plot, the street culture of survival of the strong is still out of control. Carp likes this type and gives 7 points.
Uncle Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is unrecognisably strong in this one. In the whole lion family, I like the character of the Kingslayer the most, rather than the more popular little devil. Loyalty, honor and courage can still be seen in him, the excellent qualities of a man. In the latest sixth episode, the moment when the giant dragon rushes towards the dragon mother is incredible.
The film adopts a dual-clue narrative. One is Jacob, who was on parole, as the agent of the gang's eldest brother, leading his men to complete an arms transaction under the high surveillance of the police; the other is Jacob, who was originally a stock trader. Bu, the story of how he grew into a gang elder brother step by step after being imprisoned.
Jacob was originally a stock trader with a small career, and his wife, Xian Zixiao, and a happy family. But a drunken accident landed him behind bars. Jacob, whose sentence was not long, responded to the conflict with other prisoners with a strong attitude in order not to be regarded as a soft persimmon by other prisoners. Although this made him punished by solitary confinement, it also caused Got the attention of the gang boss in prison. After completing a few small tasks such as hiding drugs in his body, Jacob officially became a gang member after participating in a silence operation against whistleblowers. Then, during a prison gang fight, Jacob stabbed an inmate under surveillance cameras. For this, Jacob was not only sentenced to more than ten years in prison, but also transferred to a high-security felon prison. In the face of Jacob who was willing to degenerate, his wife was disheartened and chose to divorce, but Jacob could only accept it reluctantly. After a ten-year prison sentence, Jacob has become a high-ranking figure in the gang. And when he finally waited until a month before his parole, the eldest brother of the gang ordered him to lead his younger brother to complete the arms transaction of thousands of AKs after he was released from prison. When Jacob showed his objection, the boss used Jacob Wife and children threatened, Jacob had to obey. After being released from prison, Jacob found that the operation was not only under the close monitoring of the police, but also had the gang eldest brother and the police's eyeliner beside him. In the face of a complicated and dangerous situation, how did Jacob use his wisdom and courage to protect his beloved wife and children by himself?
The movie is only half the show. After Jacob was released from prison, this line was shot very well. The cold-blooded, cruel, intrigue chaotic streets were shot very realistically. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's performance is also very good, fierce, calm, forbearing, foresight. .
If the whole film is about this arms deal, this is a very successful gangster film, and the carp will give at least 8 points. It's a pity that the director wants to tell the story of how Jacob grew up from a petty white-collar worker to a big gangster. This part is full of loopholes.
First of all, there is a big problem with the character setting. Street teenagers can become middle-aged uncles who are law-abiding and timid as mice. And a gentle boy and white-collar worker can't become a gang eldest brother in any prison. This is fundamentally a question of mindset. A person like Jacob, no matter how strong his physique is, can't think in a street-style way. It's one thing to kill with a passion for road rage, but quite another to have a street culture mindset. Solving everything with violence can only be a habit in childhood, and those who are willing to plead guilty to drunk driving will never learn it. If you can't see the potential of thugs at the age of sixteen, there will be no drama in this life.
Secondly, there is a problem with the logic of the plot. Jacob, who has a very short sentence, does not need to wink at the gang characters in prison frequently and donate his chrysanthemums. Two years in prison was not enough, and An An was released from prison after a few sleeps. It's puzzling that a petty criminal who sleeps in the Chase room wants to get into the gang all at once. Here to correct the concept of many children, the gang in the prison is definitely not a random person, and Jacob's performance is not a ruthless role. Ordinary people can definitely be at peace with gang characters by keeping a distance from each other. And even if a role like Jacob is absorbed and given to a master, the position of the paper fan will raise him, and I will really trust such a person. The boss is also a madman, and this IQ can't be a big brother at all.
In the end, a real man can endure all humiliation and pain for his wife, children and loved ones. This is definitely not big talk. Jacob only needs to endure for two years, it really doesn't matter. After ten or eight years, he carefully reduced his sentence for one and a half years. I have seen him reunite with his wife and children as soon as possible. That is the real man. Judging from the plot of the movie, Jacob's tragedy is somewhat self-inflicted.
Tucao, in the end, Jacob's tricks can bring things into the prison for serious offenders. Is the American judicial system deliberately trying to save food? That's all right, these felons will all die in a few days, and they won't waste food.
