The heroine is a "black widow"

The director is Steve McQueen of "Twelve Years as a Slave". The director who made a blockbuster in Cannes and was crowned the pinnacle of the Oscars made his way into Hollywood. This film is adapted from six episodes of the American drama of the same name in the 1980s, but the background of the story is changed from London to Chicago. The cast can be regarded as a gathering of big names, most of whom are familiar with: "Hurricane Rescue" Liam Neeson, "Fast and Furious" Latin beauty Michelle Rodriguez, "Sniper Phone Booth" Colin Farrell, "Creed" The senior girl Elizabeth Debicci and so on... I can feel that the director wants to say a lot, with great ambitions, about feminism, underworld, religion, racial discrimination, the gap between the rich and the poor, political corruption,'democratic elections', gender differences, etc. They are all integrated into it, weakening the sense of genre that crime suspense films should have. Too much complexity leads to the result that the viewpoint is scattered, as if it is a shot and a stick, and nothing is said. It is not a traditional commercial action film, but a very slow-paced, slow-moving, ethical and moral plot that is too slow and tuned. It can't be said that it is not good-looking, but it is really gentle and can't enter the drama at all. No love, just feel long. The perception in this respect is very similar to "The Irishman", but not like the other feminist theme "Hidden from the Sky: Beauty Trick", which is not good-looking and quite superficial. Therefore, because the connotation is too rich and it seems boring, we can't blindly negative, and conservatively comment about 6 points. PS: At the moment of the highest light in the film, Gaomei Derby has a lot of dew points, and it is only available for download!

    It's actually very good-looking, and it is a compromise to business intelligence without losing its sense of proportion. Surprise to follow through, a literary piece in a popcorn movie.

    This lengthy and unfocused feeling makes me want to see what the original skit looks like

Widows quotes

  • Jack Mulligan: Have you ever slept with a black guy?

    Siobhan: Sorry?

    Jack Mulligan: You heard me, have you ever slept with a black guy?

    Siobhan: What does that have to do with Jamal? Or anyth...

    Jack Mulligan: Just answer the fucking question.

    Siobhan: We're in a situation where you could lose everything. You've got the IGs and the feds breathing down your neck, you got Jamal Manning climbing in the polls and all you're concerned about is if your dick is bigger than his?

    Jack Mulligan: Well what are we fighting for? This? I mean do you know how many shootings happened in this city last weekend alone? Thirty four! These people are killing each other! This is not where I want to raise my children. What are we fighting for, exactly! I feel suffocated. I'm a Mulligan, I'm my mother's son, God rest her soul. The shit she had to put up with from my father!

    Siobhan: I'm putting up with it too, Jack. That's what adults do.

    Jack Mulligan: I never wanted to be in this fucking business. That what this is. It's a fucking business! Christ, I just wanna be free of this shit. Can't take it anymore.

    Siobhan: Wake the fuck up, Jack. You are not going to pussy out now. What are you going to do, work in a bank? Take the train downtown, punch a clock? This is your life. This is our life, it's what we do. Everyone has a fucking sob story, most of them better than yours, so if the idea is to be mayor one day, you better man the fuck up!

    Jack Mulligan: Jesus... Dollar signs of empty promises. Everyone who thinks different are fooling themselves. That's the God's honest truth.

  • Harry Rawlings: Why couldn't you just sell the book to Jamal and leave it at that? Ronnie, you're not supposed to be here.

    Veronica: You left me alone, you evil bastard. You wanted to start a new life with your son and your new white happy family.

    Harry Rawlings: I couldn't save him, Ronnie! I couldn't save us! I had to save me! Me!

    Veronica: You're a fucking coward!
