It turned out to be an American version of Infernal Affairs

Two-thirds of the way through the movie, the big boss seems to be clear, but the intuition trained by the common pattern of Hollywood police and gangster films tells me that it is over, there must be a big boss behind, and the screenwriter is absolutely not willing to be a fool , so no matter what, he wants everyone to experience the feeling of being powerless in the face of a powerful system. So at the end of the film, you learn the Infernal Affairs at the end, giving you a hint of helplessness. Fortunately, they didn't kill the male protagonist, and probably don't want us to see the tragic appearance of the handsome guy being beaten into a hole.

The black sheriff is quite interesting. Taking advantage of the police work, he helped everyone save a lot of pension money. In fact, isn't this what the small treasury of local government departments does today? This kind of filling in the system is also a kind of helplessness.

As for the practice of using detective methods to obtain the privacy of important persons as a threat, I remember that a similar incident happened in the next county a few years ago. After that, it was cleaned up by the organization. Looking back, it has something in common with this movie.

The movie is still good, overall pretty good. From awakening to disappointment, it's a very old-fashioned story, but it's well done and the actors acted well.

    In the future, like this time, don't watch the cast too carefully. XD It's a great surprise to see Sucre, Uncle House, Chris, and familiar faces appearing one after another (.

    The old way, the new idea seems to be to let Keanu Reeves play Russell Crowe, pick up the phone book and smash people~
