Why is it evil again?

Some movies are like this, although it is as long as 3 or 4 hours, but you can't notice the flow of time bit by bit. Some movies are like this, in the few hours you just watched, there is an inexplicable force in your chest, and you can even feel the rush of blood. Some movies are like that, when the ending melody comes to mind, you feel like you'll be sorry for hours of watching if you don't write something. And what I want to say is that Robbery is such a movie.
Needless to say, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, the two hard-core movie stars, have a special meaning in their conversations and jokes, even in the most ordinary plots. There are many things that impress me in this film. Neil's loyalty to his brother, his openness as a man, and his courage and courage. Han's obsession with work, a bit exaggerated and perverted style, the characteristics of biting and not letting go, etc. Two men with similar bearing, one righteous and one evil, calmly interweave the whole story.
From the very beginning, I stood in the perspective of the robbers, until the death of Neil in the end. I think if it were not for the mundane things such as justice, evil prevailing, light conquering darkness, etc., the ending might not be like this. I'd rather see Neil get away with it, and live the life he thought he didn't need begrudgingly with his little lover. Because such a technically courageous criminal needs to pay tribute to him.
As described in American gangsters, the real criminals are not the kind of street gangsters who are drunk in nightclubs and hug prostitutes and swear swear words, as if they have the label "I am a criminal" on their faces. Instead, he is low-key, calm, not overbearing with emotions, with extraordinary courage, IQ and first-class technical content. Of course, Neil fits all of these. On the other hand, as a police officer who catches a thief, he doesn't have any qualities that are vulgar or even a bit perverted, and of course it's no fun.
When Neil was shot several times and fell down with a calm smile, I suddenly thought about what if. If it wasn't the police car that drove in the wrong place when Neil pointed the gun at Junggu, if the super trustworthy brother who prepared an escape route for Neil didn't tell him where Junggu was, if the police officer in the hospital Xin Yiru spends the night with his ex-wife, if he kills the securities dealer earlier, yes, there are too many ifs, but all these things happened, the ending can only be an accidental inevitability, inevitable tragedy.
And it is the incompleteness of tragedy, regret and incompletion, that can be broken like fragments and leave traces.
Aside from other things, just savoring the calm interpretation of the two old actors in it is enough to win but there are countless people in the world.

    The structure of the story is relatively grand, and the characters are well portrayed. They are all men, but they are not just focused on being cool, but a subtle exploration of everyone’s mind. Everyone has a family, and the police and the bandits are two. The relationship between a special industry and family is also handled very well. Good ending. Although it's not my favorite type, it doesn't look boring. I can appreciate the director's ease in making this kind of film.

    Why do these women always accept her man as a criminal so easily? Then, after struggling for a while, they followed him. Don't they think their boyfriends or husbands will die by the side of the road one day? And the movie is really too long
