The best police movie ever

This is a classic. Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Guy Pierce, James Cromwell, Kim Basinger, and David Strezern are all people with backgrounds.

The difference between this gangster movie and ordinary Hollywood movies lies in characterization. The characters of the three police officers are very personal. The best performer is Kevin Spacey. This person is not good looking, but he is definitely a super old drama. His performance in this film is not worse than that of "Very Suspect". Vividly, that ambiguous expression vividly interprets a corrupt but not principled policeman. Russell Crowe is also very good at acting as a barbarian, very sturdy, he must be a slapstick when he shoots, and he is also very simple and straightforward in his character. It's just that this role is better than Kevin Spacey. In contrast, although Guy Pierce, a college student policeman, performed well, he was indeed eclipsed by the other two. However, he also performed a performance based on logic, the fame is supreme, and the means and strategy are impressive, but he is similar to his colleagues in the police. Buddies are accustomed to the image of being untouched. It's really hard to judge whether these three people are evil.

The theme of this film is that the police are so bad that there is no cure. One or two small characters who discover secrets will be killed. This theme has been implemented very well in most of the films, so when the final battle was final, I didn't have the idea that a Hollywood-style ending would be a good guy win, so I was quite nervous when watching this typical Hollywood shootout. It is possible that the Boss will kill all the good people and come to a black ending. It's a pity that the final outcome was compromised to the box office, although it was still gray. The relationship between the characters and the conspiracies in the film are also very good. The action scenes (non-robbing, mainly Russell Crowe to beat people) are very enjoyable, coupled with Kevin Spacey’s extremely humorous performance, The entertainment of this film is also very prominent.

The film won two Oscars for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, as well as Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Sound Effects and Best Editing at the British Academy Awards.

    The last words are wonderful, and the three major male protagonists are too good, I think it is true, I like this for a while, and I like that for a while, and I can't give up any of them.

    The main success of this film lies in the creation of three distinct and attractive characters (this is the mutual complement of the best screenwriter and the best actor), and on top of these three roles, the third part of the whole story The segmented structure is rigorously neat and impeccable, which can be called the pinnacle of Hollywood police films. In addition, the theme of the whole movie is constantly asking from the beginning to the end-how justice and evil should get along, when procedural justice and result justice can only choose one or the other, how should we choose (or whether personal justice is possible? The justice above the law), the powerlessness, the dearth and the inevitable heavy price of personal persistence in the face of the powerful black box of the system—all make every viewer linger after watching it.

    Sid Hudgens: [voiceover] Come to Los Angeles! The sun shines bright, the beaches are wide and inviting, and the orange groves stretch as far as the eye can see. There are jobs aplenty, and land is cheap. Every working man can have his own house, and inside every house, a happy, all-American family. You can have all this, and who knows... you could even be discovered, become a movie star... or at least see one. Life is good in Los Angeles... it's paradise on Earth." Ha ha ha ha. That's what they tell you, anyway.
