Crossing over the line of duty
Werner Herzog is by far one the most prestigious directors of the cinema. And this movie is surrealistic metaphor, a sharpy and bizarre tale characterized by the rhythmic pulse that has not used the Herzog, on past performance.That's why many cometaristas the film somewhat confused because I leave Herzog always has a way of escape facing everyday. If you take a look at his filmography find a common denominator: people bereaved in unusual places, overwhelmed by a reality that subjugates to intolerable limits.Terence (Nicholas Cage) is the cop who is beyond good and evil. He loves his job but also wander through the interstices of the law. hard play games, make illegal gambling, drug dealing and is a heavy user.So when you start an investigation about a family who traffics in narcotics, will emerge whole network of petty corruption and underworld contacts in this brutal and heinous their illegal business. And Herzog uses the desolate atmosphere of New Olrleans to highlight even more the sinister atmosphere of this scourge.Nicolas Cage for his work acting surprised, because his character is on the brink of mental insanity and should work on that tightrope when it acts as the official state server.The final sequence is an unprecedented cynicism when, after witnessing all the excesses and dirty tricks, is promoted from sergeant to captain, and nothing has changed.A film that will not appeal to large audiences because it lacks the usual effective and truculuencias own the genre, but aqquellos reward seeking alñgo in a film that more than special effects and car chases.
