should be better

For such a film that should be said to be ambitious, the first 1.5 hours of the film can only be considered a good deal. The director seems to want to say a lot about Russell Crowe's family problems, the social background of Denzel Washington's fortune, But I thought it was too loose and not tight enough. It wasn't until Russell Crowe finally started chasing Denzel Washington that the movie got closer to the classics, especially Russell Crowe confronting the scene was great! Ridley Scott really knows how to use Russell Crowe, don't need him to say too much, just say a few lines in a rough and naive way, and the last catch scene will play out his characteristics. Denzel Washington is a very good actor, but personally I think Ridley Scott does not. Unleash his full potential, and only use 50% of his potential (but 50% is already very powerful!) In short, this is a good story that can become a classic, it's a pity .
