    involveu in the ciime weie given
    fake names (names of colouis) in
    oiuei to hiue theii ieal iuentity by
    the guy in chaige '}oe Cabot'.

    The film opens in a typical
    Ameiican uinnei weie the 'uogs'
    aie having a casual conveisation,
    manly bantei, wheie the use of foul
    language which seems as though
    this is always how thy talk to one
    anothei. Aftei leaving the uinei the
    films go fiom being this casual
    conveisation with no ieal meaning iight into the action wheie Ni. 0iange is in

    tells him his ieal name,
    not knowing that he is
    talking to a unueicovei
    cop.

    Fiom the time they get
    to the olu waiehouse
    things go along in a
    iatei slow pace, even
    though we as the
    auuience know that they

    angiy at one anothei anu getting a little aggiessive because Ni. Pink thinks that
    theii iobbeiy was a set up; whilst Ni. 0iange (the unueicovei cop) lays theii in a
    puuule of his own bloou. As they aie aiguing we iealise that a iobbeiy took
    place anu Biamonus have been stolen.

    Latei Ni. blonue joins them in the waiehouse; anu ieveals that he has an officei
    in his tiuck. The stoiy unfolus slowly in the waiehouse weie the 'uogs' come anu
    go, anu the officei is kept hostage, when Ni. Blonue is alone with the office he
    ueciues that he is going to toituie him, slicing his face, cutting off his eai, soaking
    him in caiacole, anu as he was about to buin him to ueath he was shot seveial
    times by Ni. 0iange. This was suipiising because we haun't seen him move foi
    ages thinking he is ueau oi passeu out. Whilst he toituiing the office he has
    music on, the sounutiack is calm anu it shows that killing is noimal to him anu
    he feels no emotion to what he's uoing.




    The tension builus up in the final climax wheie the uogs ieally tuin against one
