On June 7 this year, the US police investigated a property in Liberty County, 80 kilometers northeast of Houston, Texas, based on whistleblowers, and reported that it might be buried there. As many as 30 mutilated bodies, most of them children. Later, it was discovered that the source of the news was a psychic who might have been with the house owner and the festival. The helicopter hovered for many days and waited for a search warrant to enter the house and found that everything was nothing but a farce.

Of course, the Texas in the movie is not limited to family warmth and dreams like "Texas, Paris", but also gives this terrible land a terrible image of life-swallowing, it can be "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" forever The non-stop series can be the air nail gun perverts of "Old Nowhere". Even this Venice Film Festival, two dark Texas visitors-"Killer Joe" and "Texas Kill" came unceremoniously. field".

Compared with the hilarious Cult film "Killer Joe," the American drama crime investigation of "Dezhou Killing Field" is too pediatric. Amy Kanan Mann, who first sat in the guide chair, is the daughter of the famous guide Michael Mann. But art is far from being as simple as having a father and having a daughter. Except for the photographer's ability to help Amy create an open and helpless Texas wilderness scene, Amy is almost useless in terms of the director ability that really needs to concentrate the relationship between the characters and promote the narrative. The faces of the good and the bad guys are very clear, and I wonder whether the director will deliberately let the audience's expectations fall, making the strange shack wearing glasses a hero who can turn things around, or let a righteous detective become the most hidden murderer, but in the end To look at the mountains is to look at the mountains and to look at the waters is the directness of the water.

The cute little girl Annie and Detective Bryan have constructed a father-daughter relationship that lacks causal logic, and has successfully laid out a frightening thread for the film, because little Annie always walks like it doesn’t matter. On the uninhabited road in the country, waiting for Wei Shu to stop and raise her middle finger, her real family is obviously dilapidated. The plot that differs from "Killer Joe" is also in the same suburban house, ushering in a bloody climax of returning home.

Michael Mann, who is escorting his wife, believes that "this is a dramatic work with many elements that are rare in Hollywood movies, which will take you into the cruel and real Texas." It seems that deep in Hollywood. At the core, he no longer has the ability to discern the world outside the dock. Any B-level film composed of third-line actors can make him extremely excited. The female director herself has a delicate experience of the feelings of all female victims in the history of crime. "Their eyes are looking straight at you, hoping to speak for them through you. I think it is this feeling that drives the crew and myself to exhaustion. Maybe an elegant way, try to tell such a cruel story. "Unfortunately, we can't see even the slightest grace in the film. All is just the simplest balance between good and evil, and then draw a gun to a duel.

    Good photography, nothing else.

    Female directors are just unreliable, no matter if you have a father named Michael Mann or an ex-husband named Cameron... But Chloe Moretz is really beautiful, her lips are especially sexy, she is only 15 years old, and she flashes when she is 15 years old. Wearing a pair of big eyes and pretending to be a loli as a royal sister is omnipotent, how can you fix it in the future! I can't resist it!
