The logic of the old beauty is really different

The robber and the hostage can live in the same room harmoniously and even play with guns; the victim has the opportunity to leave but has to stay as a hostage; the robber's questioning of the police arouses applause from the masses; people are not afraid of the police; Holding placards to support people cheering... These are incomprehensible from our point of view

It also makes them cause more thought outside of the film

The plot of the film is still relatively monotonous from now on. The film objectively narrates the whole process of the robbery from beginning to end in two hours, without more comments and follow-up. more realistic

Al Pacino was so tender when he was young. The most important thing is his acting skills. When you were young, it was so peak, and the older you get, the more refined it is, it's really amazing
