Eric's oil paintings and counterfeit banknotes belong to his works, he likes to burn them and finally burned himself. The pros and cons can be said to be mirror images of each other, and the two have reached the unity of life and morality from beginning to end; the two female characters are also a mirror relationship, and they and their respective protagonists are also a kind of "money" and "body." In the end, John inherited Richard’s corruption and hypocrisy. Money, motives, and interpersonal...

I have no feelings for the descriptions of the three male protagonists, and even the big car chase scene didn't impress me. But I still admire the vague moral setting in the play, and the final [Inheritance] is cold and surprising. Ps. The second male is not the second male of "Alien Demon", I saw it again, it is really fate....

The shots and pictures of the movie are very good. It fully demonstrates the unique charm of Los Angeles in the 1980s. The car chase scene is the most impressive in the movies I have ever seen, full of tension. A movie worth...

If you must choose a text for comparison...Old policeman-Sun Jian / Hot policeman-Sun Ce / Pretending to be a pig and eating tiger-Sun Quan. Obviously, it is definitely not a good idea to have Sun Ce the protagonist, not to mention the stupidity of conflating the Los Angeles police with the New York...

Starts with the most formulaic and exhausted trope: the old accomplished cop on the verge of retiring dies, and his partner decides to take vengeance upon the villain responsible of his death. This one too is just as compliant to the standards & clicheys of the 80's hotcop: good heart but blamable methods. Dafoe's persona by contrast is appealing, esp. due to his (justified) artistic tendencies, a pretext for aesthetic interior settings - "Dance" by Matisse can be spotted during a fit of...

Photography and fine art are very particular. The passages of William Dafoe counterfeiting counterfeit banknotes and stunned his girlfriend and arresting the fugitive are all silent and romantic. Not to mention that there are also a long section of LA city-style paintings and crazy racing scenes, which are unique in police and criminal films. The story of the front-line police desperately avenging blood and revenge on the culprits for the old partner is quite unkind, echoing two violent shoots...

Le thriller policier estampillé 80s par excellence qui transcende le simple manichéisme par 1 opposition ravageuse entre le bien obnubilé et le mal charismatique. Friedkin orchestre avec méticulosité 1 descente aux enfers stylisée baignée dans 1 noirceur...
