The movie is still good. It should be said that the movie tells the different choices of several policemen.
"If you know a person is guilty, would you be willing to use guilty methods to ensure that the court finds him guilty?" "Are you willing to torture the prisoner to confess?" "You are willing to shoot a stubborn criminal from behind to avoid a lawyer? Excuse him from crime?" "No" "Then don't be a criminal policeman" "I know what you mean, but it doesn't mean that I want to enforce the law like you or my father." "I hope to uphold justice, but gradually I He seems to have forgotten this idea." Edmund, a policeman from Cobain, knows how to play politics and hopes that everything is legal during the incident. He is an upright person. He is unwilling to accept the money given by Jack (even if The money does not seem to be stolen money), he spares his reputation to seek the truth of the case, and at the same time he knows how to advance and retreat, and he chooses to be flexible when he is destined to be unable to change and cannot resist. He seems to be a pragmatic person, but It seems that his method of law enforcement is not, perhaps only because after experiencing all this, he discovered that the true outcome of the matter seemed to be more important than the outcome of the matter. He seems to be ignorant of humanity. When others avoid coming out to testify, he is willing to testify in court and make suggestions to solve problems. Maybe he has always hoped to change some of the police station's customs through his own efforts, maybe he wants to be like himself His father entered the criminal investigation team like that.
"Why are you a policeman?" "I don't remember." Jack is an old fried dough stick in a police station. He is willing to cooperate with Sid to make some money, and he does not forget to distribute the money he got to the people around him. He is a celebrity police officer who is good at handling interpersonal relationships. He said he had forgotten why he wanted to be a policeman, but who would forget his motivation? Maybe he just didn't want to admit it, because he found that his behavior now seemed a bit far from his original intention. He doesn't mind some small seemingly dishonest behaviors, but when he finds that his actions have caused a young man to lose a great opportunity, he is upset. When he met for the second time, this young man might ruin his future because of him, he tried to change. His last death was very helpless. He was always cynical, and he was able to enjoy boundless glory. When he chose to deal with one thing seriously and insist on justice once, it brought death.
"White is brave at all." "No, Edmond, he can answer'yes' to all the questions I asked you." Bud acts a bit like Edmund in the mirror. He doesn't care about politics, he is evil and evil, and he takes action. Ruthless, willing to use all means to make criminals punished. He was like Mad Eye Modi, and some others felt terrified. Perhaps the only thing he and Edmund have in common is that they want criminals to be punished. But he is not a simple thug as others imagined. On the one hand, his past experience has created his harsh methods, on the other hand, it has also strengthened the distinction between good and evil in his heart. He was like a knight who went straight, drank and ate meat, not doing things right.
Dudley is the last villain in the movie. He has the wisdom and knows how to manipulate others. He uses his position to try to control the black and white with one hand. However, he failed to achieve it. He did his best, but he was finally arranged by himself. Chess pieces are forced into death.

    Relive the classics on the big screen, the two peaks of justice and evil, the three heroes are involved in danger, overcome difficulties, and the plots are intertwined. The pen is slowly moistened by the branches, depicting the personalities of the characters, and paving the way for complex relationships. Gathering the main trunk, the danger is everywhere, while pulling the cocoon, the dark thunder is picked up to the bright spot, and the climax detonates. This is the dual confrontation between desire and power, and it is also the perfect expression of business and art.
