last resort

This is not a cop movie, but an emotional drama.

There is not much pen and ink describing the emotions of men and women, but every frame is bloody;

The large-scale interpretation of the battle between the police and the bandit, but with a cup of coffee for a moment, let the black and white protagonists show mutual understanding and sympathy, five flavors of miscellaneous grains.

The only emotionally flawed expression is at the end, when Neil faces his lover and the police catch up, the sympathetic expression is not enough for the show, lacking a trace of sincerity and real helplessness.

Generally speaking, the men in the play are excusable, while the women have to.
