If the ending is changed, it will become a classic handed down

Black humor, sarcasm, simply brilliant.

At the end, the partner was sacrificed but ignorant, which can be described as the saddest thief in history. In fact, if the male protagonist was shot to death by random guns in the end, the irony would be stronger, and it would definitely be more classic. It's a pity, it's a pity.

Al Pacino's performance is impeccable, the actor is the actor, the whole body is full of drama, and he has to face different opponents and different situations before and after the film. The interpretation is very difficult, but he handles it perfectly.

John Keizer was almost speechless throughout the performance, and it was absolutely amazing.

I thought that the little partner at the beginning would reappear later to play a key role, but unfortunately it didn't.

It turns out that the first feature film directed by Lu Meite is the classic "Twelve Angry Men", which is amazing.
