"Ace vs. Ace": Sparks of power showdown

A top negotiator who was framed as a scapegoat for corruption within the police station must be convicted. In order to repay his innocence, he was forced to take risks and held the chief and several key officers in the police station to start life-and-death negotiations with the police. Even if he has been surrounded by groups, it is not easy to negotiate with a negotiator. Not only can no one control his way of thinking, but he will also be persuaded by him. And when another master negotiator arrived on the scene, the wonderful show really took place.

The brilliant negotiation and duel between the two powerful male stars Muir Jackson and Kevin Spacey is the soul of the entire film. Passy's uncontrollable and clever tricks are also amazing. The two talked from their opponents into one faction, and finally proved innocent while eradicating the sinister figures behind the scenes in one fell swoop. Even if there is not a single net to kill all the corrupt personnel, but the implicit ending, from a group of accomplices who tried to kill the male protagonist, the police instantly changed to trying their best to save each other, and it also deeply reflected the corruption of one or two characters from a different angle. It doesn't make any sense to the police.

Although the film lasts for more than 139 minutes and more than two hours, from the beginning of the brief period of official negotiations to save people, it immediately turns to being trapped and trapped, and finally proves innocence. There is no tediousness and procrastination, but with the imminent tension and excitement in one go, it makes people feel like they still want to come again after seeing it. Perhaps this is all because there are real events behind the scenes that have solid support, which inspires the great inspiration and creative enthusiasm of the screenwriter. It is reasonable that this film was rated as the most sophisticated action thriller that year.

    Another forgot to mark. I've seen it before, and it's pretty impressive. The most impressive passage is when he said that in such a situation, instead of trusting colleagues and friends, it is much safer to leave it to a stranger who has no interest at all—( • ̀ω•́ )b

The Negotiator quotes

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: I'm a stranger to you. You have no idea what I am capable of.

  • Lieutenant Danny Roman: I like westerns, like Shane.

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: It's interesting that you pick one where the hero dies.

    Lieutenant Danny Roman: What are you talking about? He doesn't die. He rides off into the sunset, and that kid says "Come back, Shane!"

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: That's a common misconception, in the last frame he's slumped over on his horse.

    Lieutenant Danny Roman: So he was slumped, slumped don't mean dead.
