Fuck the truth

When I was a child, I always liked to ask 'who is the good guy and who is the bad guy'. It's ridiculous to think about it now, it turns out that the good and the bad are often the same person. Police and prisoners are just different identities.
Bruce Willis came up with an old-fashioned appearance, like every little person who was about to retire, looking like a monk hitting the clock for a day. It seems that there is no enthusiasm for work anymore. No one would have thought that a few hours later, such an old man in his 50s or 60s would be able to carry out his personal heroism to the end after being dismantled.
The film never clearly explained what Eddie saw. And this black boy who doesn't seem to have much courage, actually insisted on chattering and talking nonsense under the pursuit and killing of dozens of police, this buddy is an idiot. I feel that the director's arrangement is somewhat illogical.
I feel that Jack's personal hero is too Hollywood-like and has fallen for many years. It is not easy to get out of it. He can also stand on the opposite side of darkness. What's more important is not only to oppose his former partners, but also to oppose his former self. This is a bit jerky for an old man who is alcoholic and waits to get off work every day.
Every industry has its own internal rules, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the whole picture, especially for the police who are in charge of social security, there are a lot of unspoken rules. The greater the power, the greater the benefit, and the greater the dark side. So truth is often fucked.
In the end, Frank had the opportunity to kill Jack when no one was there, but he let it go and let his subordinates kill him in the hall, I really don't understand, did he also find out in his conscience and couldn't bear to kill him?

    This movie can't even be released in China.

    Seeing old Bruce frowning makes me feel tired...

  • Eddie Bunker: You're driving in a hurricane and you see three people at a bus stop. One is an old lady and she's sick. One is your best friend and he saved your life. And the third is the lady of your dreams. Now check it out, you only have room for one in your car, which one do you take?

  • Jack Mosley: [interrupting Eddie's impassioned speech at climax of standoff] Hey, you're killin' me.
