The first half is similar to a general police action movie. A hundred bullets were fired in five minutes, killing more than N police officers. The style is similar to other Los Angeles crime movies, Street Kings or End of Watch. But what I didn't expect is that after the film's long character preparation and inner struggle, it finally presented an exciting process of robbing the bank and an ingenious game.
The story is basically fictitious, but it is based on the fact that in the 1990s, Los Angeles was the place where the so-called bank robbing occurred most frequently in the United States. The film shows the very insecure living environment of the generation in downtown Los Angeles and South Los Angeles. But the most different from the previous Los Angeles crime films is that the highlight of the film is not the police, but the bank robs. The leader of them is played by Pablo Schreiber. He is a veteran who is very ferocious, cruel but very principled. He never kills innocent people, and he even performed a human touch. The police detective in the film is also a sturdy character (Gerard Butler), which is very different from the average policeman. Not only does he wear no uniform, but he also uses violence to control violence. The whole film makes people feel that it is a contest between the two people, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner or loser after many attempts. But the most interesting thing is that many small clues were buried in the plot, which finally showed a bigger conspiracy.
The process of robbing the bank was quite stressful, and it was more clever than last year's Logan Lucky. It's just that this is not a comedy, and the style is cruel and realistic. Especially in a duel between police and robbers in downtown Los Angeles, several cars stuck in the middle of the road were sifted, and it was truly cruel.
Recommended for those who like to grab bank movies and who are coming to Los Angeles. Male hormones are overwhelming, bloody and violent.
