Always be arrogant and young, be steady, easier said than done. The old guys in the real world are all cowardly, cunning, and rotten. The older you are, the purer you are, and the ones that are dark to shiny are the best. No matter how high your blood pressure or blood sugar is, you should step on the gas pedal and step on the gas pedal. Thinking of last year's "Tyrannosaurus", I like to look down upon the old.
I don't feel that the plot is procrastinated at all. It may not be enough for audiences who are used to watching Quentin and Johnnie To, but back to the movie, I think it has a gorgeous jazz rhythm.
Everyone died twice, one time he died, and the second time everyone who knew him died. What a great line. I was so sad that I thought of "Half Cigarette".
If I were the director, I would simply cut off the last few shots. Call Walken to his granddaughter ahead of time. At the end, Walken hangs up, and the old guys and Pacino walk towards the bridge pier, and the camera shakes while retreating from the perspective. There is a gunshot in the sunset, and the subtitles are gone. The music is almost over. At that time another shot was fired.
Now the ending of this reversal is too Hollywood, even if Hollywood can be more advanced, just freeze the frame when the two of them take out their guns. It's as awesome as "Little Tiger"!
