3/28/2017 1 Comment Ace in the holeI'm going to thank Michal first for picking this movie for us, this is probably the most intense, suspense old Hollywood movie I've ever watched(For a time period, I thought Rope is my favorite). I didn't expect that this kind of movie would appeared in the 90s, since the concept and everything are so well-designed and advanced. The viewing experience is just fantastic.
Plot wise, the movie focused on an ambitious reporter, who would risk anything for a better career, even a stranger's life. So he met a stranger who is buried under a mountain, on one hand this reporter want to save the stranger's life, but on the other hand, he also tried to make a good use of this chance to help his career. The ending is unhappy, but reasonable: both the stranger and the reporter died. This movie successfully shows the audience how a human's nature can change on one's interest, how the world will react to something that only sounds interesting. The plot is really depressing from my perspective, it's really dark for a movie that was being made in the 90s. One thing I think it's pretty interesting is its title. When I first hear Ace in the hole, I thought it was a war movie, but it turns out to be a dark story about a "evil" reporter(well, that's how i feel). I guess Ace in the title means something with a good appearance but is actually something terrible. The sets of this film is really stunning. I don't know if they film it in a real place or not, but it looks so convincing. When the reporter entered the mountain, for a moment I felt a little horrifying, and I believe that's how the place should make audience feel like: scare and depressed. There is many close shots that focused on people's expression, by the way I have to say the acting gave me chills(that means its good). Kirk Douglas is just so amazing, he nails this reporter character, made this character so powerful on the outside but so vulnerable on the inside. I can feel his struggle based on his lines and acting in the end part. I have an interesting idea of this film, I think this film would be a lot better with color, just a wired thought.
