Hello everyone, I'm Little Z.
When it comes to the work of "Dog Bites Dog", many people may think of the classic movie made by Guan Xige, but today we want to talk about another one, the American movie "Dog Bites Dog" starring Nicolas Cage, which was released in 2016.
Although Uncle Cage is known as the king of bad movies, at the beginning of watching this movie Z did not have much expectations, but after really watching it, he found that this movie is actually quite interesting, although the Douban score is only 4.9 points, but personally feel that the rhythm is still relatively tight, and also see a hint of black humor.
In this movie, Uncle Cage plays a scheming criminal who has just been released from prison and intends to do a big deal, his friends Mad Dog and Diesel are both criminals in prison, and the friends who are released from prison with him, the three of them plan to do some old business to make some money, Uncle Cage found his contact Greg, and wanted Grecker to find some work for the three of them.
Grecker is a hand-and-eye middleman who deals with the troubles of the rich, and he first gives the protagonist group a practice task to kidnap a black brother to steal the goods.
The protagonist and his party pretend to be policemen and complete it very smoothly, in this mission, because the pace is not fast and it is a direct hard break, plus Uncle Cage always reminds the mad dog to stay calm, and finally the goods arrive and leave safely.
The task of opening the door directly earned the three people an income of ten thousand, which the three people did not expect, they began to revel in the stronghold, and took the two to the casino after dinner in the evening.
Ironically, however, after going to the casino, the three of them met women who were diametrically opposed to their own personalities.
Diesel met a girl who pursued romance in a bar, but he himself just wanted to hook up with this girl for a one-night stand, but the girl was obviously not mentally prepared, and the two eventually broke up.
And Uncle Cage called for service for himself and the mad dog, he wanted to live a leisurely and simple life, he said his thoughts to the girls who came to serve, but unfortunately the girls did not have so many romantic cells as he did, just wanted to end early to take money and leave, the two were also unhappy.
Mad dog's side is even more miserable, he met an absent-minded woman, while serving while playing with mobile phones, annoyed and angry, he directly drove away his sister, lying alone in bed sulking.
The next day, the three of them gathered in the restaurant, and Uncle Cage said that he had finished a basic training hand, and he planned to directly come to a big order, so that all three of them could eat and drink without worry.
After saying that, Uncle Cage contacted the middleman Greco again, and the uncle did find them a big order, a man named Brennan owed a lot of money to a gang boss, Greco was wired, and Uncle Cage was given the task of kidnapping Brennan's baby and blackmailing him to pay him back, as a reward, they could get 750,000 yuan in this single.
However, Uncle Cage also knew that this single was very risky, especially in the United States, so he gave the two companions an ultimatum in advance, once the three of them were caught, they were absolutely not allowed to bite the dog and confess to others.
After the investigation, they sneaked into Brennan's villa, did not expect an accident, originally went out to hide from the debt, Brennan because his wife was pregnant, so he went home to find the adulterer, just bumped into the three people who were going to leave with the baby, and the trio did not know Brennan, saw a gunman into the room, Uncle Cage did not react, the mad dog had already shot, directly shot a headshot, killed Brennan.
Because they did not know Brennan, the three of them just looked at him as a bodyguard and put the body in the trunk, Uncle Cage let the two leave with the babysitter and the baby, and he was waiting for the hostess to return, but he did not expect that the hostess who came back did not listen to what he said, and uncle Cage, who had lost patience, shot and killed the hostess and then left.
The next day, Uncle Cage, unaware of his own disaster, calls Grecker and asks the other two to throw away the car containing the body, only to learn that the mad dog killed Brennan himself, and suddenly does not know what to say.
On the other hand, because Diesel has always disliked mad dogs, so in order to strengthen the relationship between the squad companions in the future, the mad dog chatted with Diesel all the way in the car, and also repented all the way, hoping that Diesel could understand himself and cooperate more in the future, and as a result, the annoyed and intolerable Diesel finally shot and killed the mad dog after moving the body to the hiding place.
After killing the mad dog, Diesel reports the news to Uncle Cage (although it is not said in the film, but Diesel should not tell the truth, just said that it was an accident), Uncle Cage does not know what to say, and can only go to see Greke by two people.
On the way, Diesel wanted to buy some food, but the gun on his waist was exposed while taking something and was seen by the lobby manager, who felt that something was wrong and contacted the police and told the police that Diesel had come down from Uncle Cage's car.
The female policeman went to interrogate Uncle Cage, and the male policeman went into the supermarket to follow Diesel, did not expect that when Questioning Uncle Cage, Diesel went out to see this scene, without saying a word, threw away the food and directly shot the female policeman and then snatched a police car to run (here in fact, there is a cushion in front, Diesel is not as neurotic as a mad dog, but it is very decisive when encountering danger, and runs away immediately after shooting).
Seeing that there was a police car following him behind him, Diesel's heart beat faster, and at the same time he knew that he could not run away, thinking of the samurai spirit that Uncle Cage said, xin yi directly drove the car into a pillar on the side of the road and committed suicide.
Uncle Cage was the most miserable, tied to the back of the police car by two policemen in handcuffs, and then dragged directly to death, he fantasized about justice before dying, but for people like him who kidnapped children, miracles could not happen, and finally, the police car stopped, and the two policemen stuffed his body into the back compartment, and the whole film ended.
To be honest, this movie I personally feel is quite interesting, although it is a small cost niche film, there is no big scene, there is no deep plot to reflect, but this movie reveals Uncle Cage's helplessness from beginning to end, as a prisoner from prison, he can't find a job like other normal people, they can't keep up with the changes of the times, they can only make a living from crime, and finally die in prejudice and discrimination, ending up with a sad end.
I'm curious if he regretted finding two unreliable teammates when he was finally dragged by a police car.
