Academy Award for Best Director

At the first of the movie, I thought Ryan Phillippe was one of the best cop that you will meet because he shown great levels of integrity but he wasn’t.

But he showed so many good actions in the first part of the movie, that I was like this guy is just an all-around good guy. He done the right thing and got…

His expression are smooth just like his voice, all of the emotion the character is feeling comes out in the way he speaks and looks. Once things start to pick up, you can almost feel the difference in character because…
