A few walking chases were the highlights

There seems to be nothing new in the content of the film, and there is almost no cooperation between the hero and heroine, which is unremarkable. The only bright spot is a few good chase scenes. There are no crazy cars, no street rushing, just sprinting and trotting, fast and slow, and the use of rhythm changes to increase the tension.
In the first scene in Italy, the killer was driving while the policeman was walking down the road. They met with the motorcade on the street. The man and the car confronted each other. Finally, the killer was found to have escaped.
The most exciting is the streets of New York, the chase and stalking before the shootout, the camera repeatedly switches between three or four perspectives, fast and slow, and then accompanied by music, it is more enjoyable to watch. In comparison, a shootout in the museum behind was more intense than exciting.
There is also a walking chase at the end of the film, and the scene changes to the streets of Istanbul. At the end, it is placed on the roof, which makes people have to think of Infernal Affairs again.
The overall feeling is that both the escapees and the chasers in the film pay special attention to their identity and behavior. Even if they run for their lives, they do not mean to run wild. They always run and run, walk and run again. The people working in the headquarters are very particular about being gentlemen when playing the game of soldiers and bandits.
Another highlight is the aerial and aerial shots in several cities, which are beautiful and presumably expensive.

    The only highlight of the whole film is the shootout scene at the Guggenheim Museum. However, Hollywood can pick up any director to shoot it closely. It's a pity Tom Tykwer...

    The movie itself sucks The story could have been sharp and beautiful but it turned into a drunk talking in his sleep / The main scenes The buildings are really beautiful
