Justice, or profit?

It could actually be made into an art film. Or a biopic would be nice too. The nucleus of the story is the exposure and criticism of the capitalist system of exploitation and the supremacy of interests. Targeted at Detroit Motors.
However, it turned out to be a detective film, a shootout, an action film, and even a violent film.

But, to be honest, compared to the background of "Secret Agent" in World War II, the object of opposition is often between countries, and the high-tech wars that we can't understand at every turn - although this is indeed seen It's very enjoyable - but it's even more enjoyable to watch in scenes like "Detective Naive", which only focuses on one city, or even just a few locations, and the relationship between characters is not complicated, especially if you don't see the second half of this film Duan, you don't even know what the hell these two bullshit detectives are up to.



Gosling plays a detective with scars from the past, who looks playboy-like and irresponsible, and in a comedy, must be the kind of harlequin who acts as a comedy (although in fact, he is in this film. The movie is really funny). As a detective, he hardly ever solved a case, and he couldn't even fight. He was timid, screaming like a woman in fright, and when he took the elevator to the top floor to see the shootout, his cheeks were shaking with fright.

Russell Crowe plays a large detective (in the context of his appearance, it might be more appropriate to call it a thug). He has violent tendencies, is top-notch, and has a dark side and a good side. When someone provokes him and kills him, he will kill him without hesitation. Like the blue-faced man in the film, when Russell later met the blue-faced man in a car accident, he pushed the little girl away and strangled him to death. But he wasn't a murderer either. When the client who entrusted him was being hunted down by another person, he did not hesitate to find Gosling, wanting to save the girl.

And these two layman detectives have made a lot of trouble along the way. They are neither professional nor unreasonable, and they will be a mess wherever they go.




Instead, it is Gosling's daughter, the little girl played by Angourie Reese, who is the calmest and wisest person in the whole film. After the killer entered the house pretending to be a doctor, while dealing with the fake doctor, she quietly got the gun, and then delayed the time. In comparison, her friend was really a bit out of her mind.

The narrative of the whole film is smooth and the rhythm is orderly. There is a lot of cold humor interspersed in between. Especially the two detectives, although they are not professional, they each have their own abilities, and they don't lose the chain when it's critical - this is the quality that the protagonist should have. In the second half, the "Vase" killer played by "Peacock" Matt Bomer appeared and tried his best to kill the target. It just didn't kill. When she returned from a disappointment, she encountered the target on the road and fled from the woods in a panic, stopped his car, and begged him to take her away. As a result, he was shot down.

The daughter of the head of the Justice Department, played by Margaret Cooley, is jealous of her mother's complicity with Detroit's auto bosses and wants to expose it. But he was hunted down by his mother and those big men. She was lucky, she was chased and killed all the way and escaped with good luck, but when the two detectives and the killer were fighting each other, she had a small calculation to escape, but she didn't expect to be shot by the killer who escaped because of the police. collapsed.

I really gave it to the tiger to eat.

In the end, two big detectives brought down the attorney general, using evidence that Margaret had left behind in the name of a porn movie — but, as the movie ends, the Detroit auto titans got no punishment. It confirms what the Attorney General said, America needs them. Therefore, the final choice is still the benefit.

This film is a very poignant satire on the ugly face of the US government, which is full of justice and pursues interests in the end. That's what this film really has to say. Fortunately, although the results were unsatisfactory, the "good brothers" detective office opened. Wait until they debut in the new case.

    bgm is great! High Commander's ugly appearance and Crowe's cool and handsome side-by-side

    It’s a weird smile and a weird logic. It’s as if the aliens have arrived at the beginning. It’s nonsense. I thought it was going to talk about the little boy growing up as a detective, but it’s all crooked. Some pay tribute to detective films in the 60s and 70s, such as "Willow Alley", "Police Net", "Dirty Harry", the gaudy party is very similar to "Flying over the Valley of Beauty", and Commander Gao is like a circus actor All kinds of mischief, all kinds of throws, precocious daughter is responsible for being handsome, Russell Crowe is an iron fist muscular man.
