The 1998 movie, the plot is good, the suspense is also well done, at least I kept guessing that Beck and the other commander were black police during the process of watching, but unfortunately I was wrong haha.

The story is probably about Samuel Jackson (the Avengers director lol) as a police negotiator with a high ability to obtain and solve countless cases. Once the case had just been solved, he discussed with his friend Nate. Nate told him that he had information that the police department's disability fund had been misappropriated by the black police. After being killed, Jackson was also framed as a murderer and a criminal who embezzled money. Because public opinion generally hates the black police, and many indirect evidences point to him, he is not only despised by his teammates, but also insisted by the prosecutor that he has only one day to plead guilty. Out of desperation, he could only use force to cleanse himself.

He used to hold a police officer named by Nate and forced him to give evidence. In the process, Kevin Spacey (President~) went to mediate as Jackson's designated negotiator, and in the process believed Jackson and assisted him in whitewashing. Some of the director's judgments are really misleading, because in general, the less you want to negotiate or the more you want to kill him through your own team to solve the case, the more suspicious, for example, Beck keeps ordering snipers to shoot Jackson's head, where I really feel Beck It's the black police who are always close to each other~ But I was wrong in the end, but Frost hid it deeply.

In the end, Jackson successfully cleaned up himself by letting the black police carelessly tell all the inside information and broadcast it to other police officers~

Then I really admire Jackson's firm belief in the movie, because without this, he may confess his guilt or He committed suicide by drinking bullets, of course, his wife Karen may also be a factor.

In any case, although it is not a masterpiece, it is indeed a drama full of suspense.
