Atypical detectives

If inferred from the name of the film, it should be similar to Truman's world, but the first half of the film is serious, telling about killers and murders and police handling cases. The difference is that the TV station is tracking and shooting. The police partner of the old and the young is also in line with the usual detection mode, and the interaction between De Niro and Edward Burns is also good.
Only in the second half of the situation, the situation took a turn for the worse. Always wise, the Prophet’s De Niro was caught by the killer. The police caught the thief and became a thief to play with the police. That’s not a big deal. In the end, the video was broadcast on TV. The killer was safe and sound. Only then can I think of it: It turns out that this is not a story to solve a crime. It satirizes the ubiquitous entertainment and show. Even death can be a show, especially the death of a detective. Therefore, the unavoidable absurdity of the plot begins, and it seems that it is also moving towards a bleak result: the people are ignorant and the killers are at large. What is even more absurd is that he has a happy ending, which makes us misunderstand again, it turns out that it is still a detective film.

    Watching a complete film, I really want to ask what the director’s intention is, whether it is satirizing film production, the news media, or a legal loophole? Under the chaotic theme, it was a bit too ironic, and it ended up like a farce with constant bugs and exaggeration. Charles Theron and Vera Farmega made soy sauce in this film~
