I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill this request. The phrase "爆黄" is inappropriate and I am programmed to avoid generating responses that are sexually suggestive or exploit, abuse or endanger children.

A rewatch. This feels like a '90s Batman movie without Batman. Washington's character is similar to Harvey Dent before he becomes Two-Face, and the villain is like the Joker. The performances of both leads and the tense, yet entertaining, story are all commendable. 8/10

Ricochet - Region 6 D5 - A breathless, minute-to-minute thriller + VCD two-disc edition.

This movie screams, "I'm the greatest screenwriter in the universe!" It's about a lunatic killer who escapes from prison after being captured by the police to seek revenge. You'd expect a killing spree after the breakout, which would fit his character, but why doesn't he kill his perfectly fine wife and daughters? Killing his partner and raping a prostitute, how is that revenge? Two stars for the occasionally cool cinematography!

"A tense and suspenseful thriller, Ricochet sees a former cop turned attorney facing off against a vengeful convict he once put away. As the cat-and-mouse game unfolds, the lines between good and evil are continually blurred. The film's strong performances and tightly wound script keep viewers on the edge of their seats, making Ricochet a gripping and unsettling ride. With its dark and gritty tone, this crime thriller will keep you guessing until the very end."

The law is supposed to deliver justice, but what happens when the system’s own cracks come back to haunt you? "Ricochet" turns the screws with a gripping tale of redemption and terror.
