59-year-old policeman Brett and his partner arrested gun drug dealers, seized stolen money and drugs, and were suspended for six weeks without pay.
Because is not polite enough , it stepped on the suspect's head.
The most ironic thing is that the chief lieutenant , who made Bret hand over the police badge, was his former partner.
Lieutenant revealed the truth in one sentence. Brett has not been promoted since he was 27 years old. He can only perform tasks with his partner who is 20 years younger than him in the middle of winter. The reason is that always does what he thinks is right, not politically correct.
ubiquitous black humor, political jokes, gushing criminals, sudden headshots, [Escape from the concrete] is an absurd criminal talkative film, especially like the cold-handed Quentin movie.
It is classified as "New Black Crime Thriller" on Wikipedia, written and directed by S Craig Zaler ([Tomahawk bone]), starring Mel Gibson ([Brave Heart]), IMDb7.2, Rotten Tomato 73% fresh. 159 minutes 's length, absurd criminal story, and a very design-oriented narrative structure make this film like a modern novel. Although
01
is not explicitly written, the comedy attributes of [escape from the concrete] are still very obvious. And the comedy is very stylish - it seems that it is not telling a story, but rather proving that even the protagonist of the story has a mediocre and trivial life.
For example, a black guy who had just been released from prison caught a fucking client, and after threatening him with a baseball bat, he asked him to throw the garbage downstairs when he left;
There was a prostitute arrested by the son of a prostitute and could not open the door when he left in a hurry;
Another example is two policemen who were on duty with guns, lying, quarreling, and quarreling because of a cup of coffee.
[Escape from the cement] tirelessly displays triviality and mediocrity, completely free from the routine of crime thriller, as if gags are its essence. The characters in the film are either criminals or policemen, but none of them are legendary, and they all look like the prototype characters who eat grains and grains behind the legend.
Of course, this kind of dissolution of legendary colors is linked to the absurdity that the director wants to express.
films have three story lines, unlike the interlocking narrative method in Quentin’s movies, [escape from the concrete ground] is that the three lines go hand in hand and finally merge into one.
02
The first is the story of the old policeman Brett.
The absurdity of is that this old policeman who is lonely eventually became an criminal .
As an old criminal policeman, he has made many contributions over the past 30 years, but he has worked hard because he does not know how to be sleek. Worse than him is his wife, a retired policeman who was suffering from illness, and his daughter who was harassed by a bad boy for the fifth time.
Because I don’t have money, I live in a community with chaotic public security; because I don’t have money, my wife takes painkillers.
was suspended for six weeks, and directly forced Bret to a detour - he targeted a criminal gang and wanted to rob them.
The second is the story of the black guy Henry.
He went to prison for a common thing. He had a mother who was taking drugs and a younger brother in a wheelchair. But he has always been a petty thief and never thought of "a big vote".
Just after he was out of prison, the child introduced him to a good job. He just wanted to be a driver and made a big income. The other party also promised: will never kill people .
This driver is used by Brett to be a criminal gang that he wants to rob.
third is the story of a criminal gang.
The professional quality of the criminal gang is very good, and it is the kind that is so cold-blooded that it is outrageous, with swords rising and falling, leaving no trace. All the hardcore images in
films are provided by them.

blast two heads—
omnipotent criminal gangs are absurd?
They are the most absurd.
For example, I originally wanted to shoot a useless helper and leave no trouble.
As a result, the other party ate the important key.
This is not the end. I accidentally vomited out once and picked it up and ate it again.
If the victim was forced to take the key from the living body like [Saw] , she would still feel a little nervous. But in the heart of the cold-blooded killer, a human body is not much different from a dead pig.
except for nausea, only stench.
This absurdity is like a terrifying devil in the world being scratched by a gangster.

[escape from the cement floor] is quite politically incorrect.
American police "violent law enforcement" is a very common thing and often causes heated discussions on the Internet. In July last year, a video was very popular on Facebook, which was that the police violently enforced the law against minors and used weapons such as pistols and electric batons. The exposure of
and the anger of netizens directly led to the demotion of the police and being investigated.
But as the investigation deepened, the direction of public opinion changed, that is, this group of minors were all problematic teenagers, one of them was the suspect who was illegally invaded, and the person who recorded the video was the suspect's brother.
[Escape from the cement floor] From the perspective of individual police officers, "violent law enforcement" reveals the stupid nature of public opinion.
In addition to seeking justice for the police who "violent law enforcement", the video also involves racially sensitive topics.
Generally, movies are fighting prejudice against racial issues, just like in [US X-Files] , the father of a neo-Nazi played by Edward Norton was shot dead by a black man while on a mission, and he can still abandon his past grudges.

However, it is an indisputable fact that black people have high crime rates, and it is also an indisputable fact that the black community is unsafe. Although this fact needs to be changed urgently and may be different in the future, the facts are facts at the moment.
2013 victim race and suspect race, the total number of black criminals accounts for only 13% of the total number of black criminals is basically the same as that of whites
Due to the issue of political correctness, there are few discussions about the crime rate of black people in film and television works.
[escape from the cement floor], but said something many people want to say, "Before moving here, I never felt that I was a racist like other retired policemen. But now it seems... we have to move." All the opinions expressed in the
video start from a personal standpoint. All chatterbox-style discussions on sensitive topics are just like complaining about "Why don't you buy me a cup of coffee?", which only concerns the personal and not the political correctness or not.
makes the whole story black and becomes the structural basis of absurd work. It is originally a real and dark - money .
Money attracts three story lines together, causing the three forces to begin to confront each other. The old policeman Brett used to fight wits and courage with criminals, but that was because of justice and loyalty to police identity, and now it is for money; Henry, a black man, came for money, but he was about to die, but as long as he had the chance to survive, he still did not give up on money.
They each have their own experiences and have their own necessities. Just like Blake chose to treat drug dealers with violence, it was just this time he made a more extreme choice. In the end, all the last resort was centered on money. Everyone's subjective will was eroded by money, and the choices made were decided by money. could not be the one who could not use it.
is so passive that it makes people feel despicable, so no one in the film has a halo. If it is a novel, then must have a delicate structure and a language record .
It seems that only the criminal gangs have not been distorted by money, they have been distorted. The film ridicule them the most thoroughly, and they are not portrayed as humans. They are all machines and don’t even have facial features.
[escape from the cement floor] is a satirical and spicy movie that is constantly denying itself. You were just sympathizing with the upright old policeman, and then he became a criminal. Should we sympathize with the evil that is difficult? Is there a difference between violent law enforcement in difficult situations and crimes in difficult situations?
In this film, moral judgment loses its standards and political correctness becomes a laughing stock. Extreme evil will not end well, but the kindness that remains is even more stupid.
, the ending is really worthy of intrigue.
