Among the many Heist films, there are not many female gang leaders, such as "A Fish Called Wanda (1988), Set It Off (1996) or Ocean's 8 (2018). The 2018 film Widows is another one, with Its complex plot clues, tangled emotional connections, the shaping of elegant and powerful heroines and the social background of the rampant dark forces create a rigorous and exciting Drama (drama drama). And in the process of execution, Widow lacks some necessary shots compared to the excellent works of robbery movies, and the sense of action is insufficient. The simple plot of Widows is this: Veronica, who lived an elegant life, lost her life in the robbery of her husband Harry and his companions, and now Had to face the blackmail directly. The leader of the gang, Jamal, not only participated in the election of local officials, but also lost 2 million because of Veronica's husband's crime. Jamal asked Veronica to return the money, and only gave it a one-month deadline. The helpless Veronica summoned several other widows. Their husbands and Harry committed crimes together and lost their lives. They are also in different life crises. With a crime note left by Veronica's husband, several women dared to stage a show His own robbery scene. The famous black British director Steve McQueen and the popular black American actress Viola Davis teamed up to bring an extraordinary style to this female crime film. In my personal opinion, Viola Davis is a black Hollywood actress elegant A representative of her solid acting skills and a wide range of roles, Widow is almost tailored for her, and her emotional performances in the film are organically combined with her most distinctive image of a strong heroine.
The phrase "No one thinks we have balls to pull it off" is the answer to anyone who still sees feminine beauty as a source of tenderness. My understanding of director Steve McQueen is limited, although I have seen his masterpiece The Twelve Years Of Slave 6 years ago. Heist movies tend to have some light-hearted elements that make the audience feel happy. But Steve McQueen instead added a lot of dark content and unique camera angles to Widows, whether it is the "gangsterization" of local politics in Chicago or the bloody means of murder. These may create negative feelings for some viewers.
