I thought it was a crime movie, but it's actually a standard reflection on society. The content reflected in this film includes the hasty and preconceived identification of retired police officers in handling cases, the innate discrimination against ethnic minorities and their living conditions, the lengthy process of handling cases, crimes in prisons (murder, drug trafficking, etc.), the collusion between prison guards and criminals, The pivotal role of lawyers throughout the trial and the high fees, and more. There are two lines in the overall situation, and the gradual degeneration of the male protagonist in prison is the highlight of this film. The director's skills are profound, and the camera, tone, and narrative rhythm are first-class, especially the application of color, which has laid the tone of the play.
