8.5 points, the movie is really good, not to mention the long shot at the beginning, it is very tense. First of all, the first picture is a close-up of the time bomb. Hank is also a time bomb? Then quickly an unseen person dropped a bomb on the trunk of a car, leaving two clues as to when the bomb exploded and who the bomber was.
Then in the tense long shot, the owner of the car first appeared, they were the victims, and the camera followed the car with the bomb. In the continuous shot, a couple soon appeared. The long shot continued, always concerned about The bomb hadn't exploded yet, and the couple was still following the car after a few intersections, no doubt they were also the protagonists. The car finally explodes, the shot cuts to the mid shot, the first shot cuts. There is a stop in the middle, which should be the border. There is no machine gun level. The protagonist Mike Waggs is Mexican, and his wife is American and just married. And he's on trial for a member of the Grandi family, a drug cartel, who has confessed his identity. At this time, the beautiful woman in the car said that she heard a ticking sound and emphasized the bomb, but she still did not know when it would explode.
The prosecutor showed up first, then asked where the detective was. This is interesting, a line, only his farm can't hear the explosion, others are dissatisfied with this detective. Then he explained the victim's information. The Mexican, who should be a little famous, came to the United States to play.
Hank appeared, got out of the car, he was very fat and looked up a bit, he took up most of the picture, and the first sentence he got out of the car said that the bomb exploded, others asked why Hank said, because my leg. The only colleague, Pete, explained that Hank had been shot in the leg and was sensitive to the weather. His intuition was accurate. Because of their achievements in solving the case, the others were noncommittal. It should be very important here that both the leg injury and Hank's intuition are the focus of the text.
Let me explain here. At the beginning, we moviegoers knew that it was a bomb explosion, and thought it was normal. Looking at the whole film, the forensics work at that time was very rough, and there was no direct evidence to prove that it was a bomb. Hank gave this as soon as he appeared. Important clues to the progress of the case will affect the direction of the case investigation.
Then there is a clue that the victim is a Mexican. Border enforcement is actually very troublesome. The case happened in the United States, so Hank must deal with it, but the relationship between the victim must be investigated in Mexico, where he is located. Others have explained their lines. Criminal cases, if necessary Official assistance is very troublesome, Hank said, thousands of people travel between Mexico and the United States every day, why can't we. So they went to Mexico as tourists to "ask a few questions".
At the same time, Suzy's protagonist's wife, threatened by the Grandi family, speaks to her husband, which is an obvious demonstration. Because of the protagonist, the Grandi family leader was indicted and jailed for drug trafficking. And took a picture with another man.
Next, because he was going to Mexico to investigate, Vargas witnessed the case with his own eyes, and another Mexican, a government official of the anti-drug police, also followed. As soon as he arrived at the victim's mining factory, he directly gave information that a young man in the factory was fired because he fell in love with the victim's daughter. The motives and tools for committing the crime are available, and Inspector Hank has finalized the case.
Soon the suspect was also found, but there was a problem with the evidence in the key link. The protagonist had seen the remaining bomb, the so-called box with evidence. When Vargas hurried into the house, he washed his hands and touched it. He knew very well what was inside. There was nothing, so the protagonist questioned Inspector Hank, questioned Hank in person, and even reported Hank to his superiors.
The current leader of the Grandi family saw the contradiction between Hank and Vargas, and urged Hank to join him, and to smear Vargas' reputation. Pete looked at Grandy and Hank's relationship from behind and questioned Hank for the first time. In a depressed state, Hank breaks his abstinence to drink. Drinking again after 12 years.
Hank was very excited to face the investigation by his superiors and confrontation with Vargas, and he threw down his police badge. The border work was hard, the salary was low, and he worked hard to chase the murderer and was questioned.
Hank walks out of that place and says that the protagonist couple are glossy addicts.
Before going to Mexico, he was attracted by Tana's antique player piano, where he confessed that his wife was strangled, killed, and the murderer got away with it, the only murderer he didn't catch. At this time, Hank's obsession with the method of strangulation has been explained.
The dialogue of the characters in the middle period is more touristy, with a sense of stage, and the cadence is slightly hypnotic. So I really fell asleep.
Then Susie was taken to a hotel by the Morandi family, injected with drugs and coma, with marijuana and heroin thrown next to her.
Then the plot was explained, Morandi framed it, and Hank, who met the audience's expectations, appeared at this moment. At this moment, he just wanted to quickly confirm his intuitive murderer's accusation.
At this time, I thought of a possible situation. The male protagonist and his wife Susie are really good-looking addicts, because it was explained later that Hank, who had problems in the evidence collection process, never made an intuitive mistake. (Adds that Hank's accusation against the Vargass is not intuitive, and may just be rushed)
Then Hank went to the hotel to see Susie in a coma, and then killed the drug dealer Grandi. The horror of this part of the scene was shown very well by the camera lights. The flickering lights cooperated with the chase and the nightmare Susie at any time. The state of being about to wake up has increased the tension. Including Suzy Morandi who wakes up to find dead above her head. That special photo of Grandi was horrible.
Then Susie shouted in horror upstairs. The male protagonist drove past because the people watching the fun downstairs were too noisy and missed it. Then the son of the former Morandi family leader who poured acid on the male protagonist fought in the bar with the protagonist, attracting the police. , and was told that his wife had been taken away by the police for murder.
Police Pete witnessed the love between the protagonist and his wife during the visit, and then his sense of justice forced him to tell the protagonist that Hank's cane was found at the murder scene, and Hank left the cane once before, and Hank killed Gran After Di Hou left the back door, she gave a warm reminder that it made sense to take away personal belongings.
Then there is the final confrontation between Pete and Hank. Hank doesn't have any friends, and at first glance, he looks like a fat house. He went to Tana's house. Pete has always known Hank well. The last time Hank went to Tana's house was 12 years ago, and he brought wine. This time, Hank, who had quit drinking for 12 years, drank and went to Tana's house.
Watching Pete wearing the eavesdropping device lead Hank out of Tana's house and tell Pete's words. The limited technology of recording and eavesdropping equipment here in the past created tension, but it can be seen from the current perspective, which is a sense of joy. Because the distance between the recording and the eavesdropping device of this radio eavesdropping device is basically no more than 30 meters, it is too far to receive.
This is also an important reason why Hank later found out that Pete, whom he trusted, deceived himself and shot Pete by mistake.
Drunk Hank rambled about the injustice he faced with his old friends. This should be the person who can understand him the most. He has worked hard for 30 years, and he has nothing. Then Pete, who found the cane, was uneasy, and he just wanted to quickly ask the terrible answer he wanted to know. Hank has also been saying that the murderer in the previous case was guilty.
After Hank killed Pete, he was also shot by Pete when he was about to kill the protagonist.
Hank comes here and tells Pete that this is the second time I've blocked a bullet for you. I didn't quite understand it, but the life-threatening friendship was still destroyed.
At this time, Tana, who gave Hank a divination before departure, came over. Hank asked Tana about her future, but Tana said nothing.
Tana came over to see Hank, who had no future. He was shot and fell into the water. A person who came over told the protagonist that the victim's daughter's boyfriend was really the murderer. Hank's intuition was right.
Tana's evaluation of Hank, It's a man. Pete love him. This real man, who killed the man who loved him and was also suspected by the man he loved, ended his life.
Hank's intuition was not wrong, and despite the problems with the forensics process, his intuition was not wrong. What about his guess that the protagonist and his wife are glamorous addicts who disguise their identities? What is a movie with a bad guy in the main character?
The scheduling of the front and back scenes of the movie is really good. There are also stories happening in the foreground and background. The second time I watched it, I found out that the cutting is also very good, and there are many models in it.
Second brush next time.
