In everyday speech, a phrase may be any group of words, often carrying a special idiomatic meaning; in this sense it is roughly synonymous with expression. In linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words (or possibly a single word) that functions as a constituent in the syntax of a sentence—a single unit within a grammatical hierarchy. A phrase appears within a clause, although it is also possible for a phrase to be a clause or to contain a clause within it.
There is a difference between the common use of the term phrase and its technical use in linguistics. In common usage, a phrase is usually a group of words with some special idiomatic meaning or other significance, such as "all rights reserved", "economical with the truth", "kick the bucket", and the like. It may be a euphemism, a saying or proverb, a fixed expression, a figure of speech, etc.
In grammatical analysis, particularly in theories of syntax, a phrase is any group of words, or sometimes a single word, which plays a particular role within the grammatical structure of a sentence. It does not have to have any special meaning or significance, or even exist anywhere outside of the sentence being analyzed, but it must function there as a complete grammatical unit. For example, in the sentence Yesterday I saw an orange bird with a white neck, the words an orange bird with a white neck form what is called a noun phrase, or a determiner phrase in some theories, which functions as the object of the sentence.
Criminal is a 2004 US film based upon the Argentine film Nine Queens. Directed by Gregory Jacobs, it stars John C. Reilly, Diego Luna, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Maeve Quinlan and is a production of Section Eight, the production company of Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney.
Richard Gaddis is a small time crook with a penchant for con games. To hook marks, he acts like a well-to-do businessman, dressing like one and driving a Mercedes-Benz S500, believing that one must look like a professional in order to be a successful conman.
Gaddis is searching for a new partner with whom he can perform more sophisticated cons. He discovers Rodrigo (Luna) after he sees the young man playing some minor con games in a casino-bar. When Rodrigo is caught, Gaddis acts the part of a vice officer to save him from being arrested. Rodrigo's contribution is a face and naive manner so trustable that he is able to con anyone, while Richard is both completely unprincipled and clever. After several small tests to determine Rodrigo's confidence ability, he suggests a partnership, to which Rodrigo quickly agrees.

Twelve years and nothing to lose
Violence a way of life
Don't care for the future
Cut reality with a knife
Life is worth nothing
Desensitized from pain
No right or wrong for me
Live to kill day after day
[Pre-chorus]
No turning back
When you cross that lione
Say a prayer for my soul
For Mary knows what I do
"virgin of assassins
Help me make it through"
Always wear the scapulars
On my wrist for aim
On my heart to save my life
On my ankle to escape
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Feel the knife
In your heart
It makes me god
Sicario
Rite of initiation
First cold blooded kill
Fell a rush of blood
A macabre thrill
Rise up to super human
Cross to the other side
The trail of blood I'll follow
I'm leaving life behind
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus x2]
Twelve years and nothing to lose
Violence a way of life
Don't care for the future
Cut reality with a knife
Rise up to super human
Cross to the other side
The trail of blood I'll follow
I'm leaving life behind
[Pre-chorus]
