The premiere of "Los Angeles City Secret" came to an end. The scene of cheering loudly and applause was no stranger to people. It seems that every time Hugo's work was released, people could feel the heat wave coming, clearly showing people's excitement and excitement.

But this time, it seemed that there was a little difference. The audience who walked out of the cinema were all excited and wanted to find a word to describe their mood, but they were speechless. The trembling from the soul could only be interpreted with vivid expressions. This made all the reporters and audiences who were unable to enter the premiere and felt itchy. They felt like they were crawled over by cat claws, and they could not control their high expectations.

"Someone once said that Hugo's works are always worth looking forward to, Hugo's works are always excellent, and Hugo's works are always worth the price. I agree with this view, but the excitement of "Los Angeles Secret" is far beyond this view. This may not be the most exciting work of Hugo's personal performance, but it is definitely one of the best Hugo's works involved."

In the first paragraph of the Los Angeles Times film review, Nicholas McClellen gave the film "Los Angeles Times" the highest praise, "The Highly Combined Business and Art, the Best Drama in Film History!" Such a title is enough to surprise everyone, and you can clearly feel Nicholas' indescribable excitement after the movie was over.

"Please forgive my narrow-mindedness in my short film viewing career, but so far, I have never seen such a wonderful drama, never!

Someone once said that the "Godfather" is the pinnacle of the drama. The huge story clues seem to be chaotic but are intertwined in an orderly manner, leaving the audience with no breathing space for a moment and can only rise and fall with the promotion of the story. This makes the retelling of the movie impossible. Only when the audience watches the movie in person can they feel the powerful power and delicate carvings of the movie. Francis Ford Coppola's control over the story clues and rhythm has reached its peak in this movie and is directly recorded in history!

Curtis Hansen once again completed the impossible task of Coppola. Perhaps, Hansen is not Coppola. His camera language and editing style are not as perfect as Coppola, but "Los Angeles Secret" relies on meticulous stories and wonderful characters to make up for this shortcoming. The combination of Lancaster, Spacey, Crow and Theron has surpassed the partners of Brando, Pacino and Keaton at that time, and dedicated the greatest plot movie since the release of "The Godfather" in 1972!

During the process of watching "Los Angeles City Secret", I always blame myself for being distracted and missing a certain detail or a certain line, so that I always hope to pause the movie like a videotape, look for clues in the pictures and lines, and guess the complex spider web behind the whole story. But in fact, I have been highly focused and devoted to the movie. The excitement makes me wish I could hit the wall to vent my inner excitement. The development of the plot has changed a lot, and the charm of lines and acting skills is brought to the extreme. When the movie ends, it is still memorable. I just hope to go to the cinema to watch the second time. It is not because I can't understand it, but because it's too exciting.

There are seven main actors in the movie, Hugo Lancaster, Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe, Charlize Theron, James Cromwell, Danny DeVito, and David Stratzen. All of these seven actors are absolutely top experts with strong strength. It is imagined that so many masters gathered together to compete for their acting skills. Coupled with the wonderful stories and lines, an incredible spark burst out, which brought the whole movie to a classic level.

Lancaster's gentleman, scheming, Spacey's romantic and sleek behavior, Crow's integrity and loyalty, hot and casualness, Theron's fragility and sensitivity, poignant and elegant... Every character and every actor burst out with endless energy, perfectly integrated with the character. It has not appeared for a long time. After the movie is over, I remember at least the works of five main characters. The last time should be the "Seven Warriors".

As a dramatic drama movie, "Los Angeles Secret" discusses the most common and special issue in today's society: What is justice?

The movie focuses the footage on the police. Under a broad definition, what they represent is justice and what they maintain is justice. The movie introduces the three protagonists, police officers in detail at the beginning, but does not introduce a bad person. It was not until the end of the film that we realized that these police officers are enough to form the main body of the story. There is no standardized image of justice among them, both righteous and evil. The story gives the three protagonists, police officers, have a blurred personality setting, making the boundary between justice and evil blur. The three characters are all wandering on the edge of the clear black and white boundary, sometimes just and sometimes evil. Such a setting is undoubtedly bold and interesting.

When the three characters appear, it is easy for the audience to make choices. Different personalities and styles of dealing with things will make people choose their positions clearly: whether they like or hate them, it is clear at a glance.

The stories of these three protagonists are independent of each other, but inevitably intertwined together, as if an invisible thrust is promoting the rapid development of the story. They are always facing the choice of justice and evil. Each different choice will lead to the development of the story on a different track. Just when all the audience thinks that some of these three policemen are going to go on the road of no return and causing bloody storms, the story has undergone tremendous changes. The evil forces outside the three parties have made a strong appearance, which not only allows the story to continue, but also makes justice and evil stand on both sides of the absolute opposite side. The three policemen who have no intersection have chosen to go to the same front because of justice's heart, and the audience's different attitudes towards the protagonist have also been unified and transformed into support.

When justice completely defeats evil, everyone thinks that the movie will usher in a happy Hollywood-style ending, but the story gives a meaningful ending, making the line between justice and evil blur again. The real questioning of people's hearts is the ending that is too realistic and too real:

Those who live in a mess but are dominated by justice deep in their hearts. Those who occasionally flash once died; those who firmly believe in justice and hate evil are used by evil, become tools for evil and leave; they successfully pursued their dreams bravely in the weighing of idealism and playing with power, and finally chose the reality and stayed.

Is it the light of justice too weak, or is the cruelty of reality too strong? The boundary between justice and evil is undoubtedly clear, but only those who wander in the gray area can persevere until the end. This is reality, a dark and bloody reality. Everyone can clearly define "justice", but in real life, no one can clearly adhere to justice, not only because of the collision between emotions and reason, the system and the individual, but also because of the collision between desire and reality, society and ideals. The blurred boundary makes everyone confused and at a loss.

The movie began to exert force less than twenty minutes into the opening, using an important case to mobilize the audience's enthusiasm. When the huge and complicated clues make people feel tired, the plot turns around and exert force again. This time, the previous clues were integrated, and new clues were combined to make the intensity level, which brought the audience not only excitement and excitement, but also from the tremor and resonance of the soul.

If the first half of the audience can also be a participant and join the process of solving the case; then the development of the second half of the plot is simply dazzling, with seemingly unintentional clues connected together, and the useless waste shots in the first half of the audience have become key clues at this time, echoing front and back, which makes the audience passively become bystanders and enjoying this real black humor.

The whole story goes through a process of clear distinction between justice and evil, chaos and vagueness, and finally falls into ambiguity and hazy again. More importantly, the characters and the story assist each other and complement each other. The center of the whole plot is constantly changing, moving back and forth between the main characters, and the relationship between the characters is also in motion. One tension has not reached its limit, and the other tension has been formed, which is unpredictable. Even the gap between breathing feels very precious.

"Los Angeles Secret" is undoubtedly profound and real. The story seems to be happening in every corner of the world at all times. The confrontation between judicial justice and corruption, the erosion of justice and evil, the blur of light and darkness penetrates almost deeply into every corner of society, right around you and me. The real world is not a fairy tale, good people are not good people, bad people are not bad people, any justice and evil are constantly changing, the darkness and destruction of society have begun to rot, but "Los Angeles Secret" is just the tip of the iceberg.

There is no doubt that the cast led by Hugo Lancaster has contributed a powerful and exciting performance, but this time I am unwilling to mention it too much, because the actors and the story complement each other and form an indivisible whole, making the perfect script burst out with all the charm and forming this amazing movie. I chose to praise this work. Every detail, every link, and every part of the entire work is amazing!

The plot design without loopholes, the flowing narrative rhythm, dangers, and the interlocking plot are definitely the greatest test of the audience's memory and insight. The delicate and real character portrayal, profound and terrifying thought mining, the most meaningful ending, refining the commercial and artistic value of a movie to the highest level, and emerged in an unparalleled manner!
