The heroine is a "black widow"

The director is Steve McQueen of "Twelve Years as a Slave". The director who made a blockbuster in Cannes and was crowned the pinnacle of the Oscars made his way into Hollywood. This film is adapted from six episodes of the American drama of the same name in the 1980s, but the background of the story is changed from London to Chicago. The cast can be regarded as a gathering of big names, most of whom are familiar with: "Hurricane Rescue" Liam Neeson, "Fast and Furious" Latin beauty Michelle Rodriguez, "Sniper Phone Booth" Colin Farrell, "Creed" The senior girl Elizabeth Debicci and so on... I can feel that the director wants to say a lot, with great ambitions, about feminism, underworld, religion, racial discrimination, the gap between the rich and the poor, political corruption,'democratic elections', gender differences, etc. They are all integrated into it, weakening the sense of genre that crime suspense films should have. Too much complexity leads to the result that the viewpoint is scattered, as if it is a shot and a stick, and nothing is said. It is not a traditional commercial action film, but a very slow-paced, slow-moving, ethical and moral plot that is too slow and tuned. It can't be said that it is not good-looking, but it is really gentle and can't enter the drama at all. No love, just feel long. The perception in this respect is very similar to "The Irishman", but not like the other feminist theme "Hidden from the Sky: Beauty Trick", which is not good-looking and quite superficial. Therefore, because the connotation is too rich and it seems boring, we can't blindly negative, and conservatively comment about 6 points. PS: At the moment of the highest light in the film, Gaomei Derby has a lot of dew points, and it is only available for download!
