      God's redemption

      God closes a door for you, and will surely open a window for you
      Cresei is lucky, although he has a painful past, endless repentance in the middle of the night, pain, anesthesia and crying, pretending to be a cold-faced protector during the day, a devil , the murderous demon, protecting the Angel

      A story about redemption

      The film tells a story about redemption. The background is set in Mexico, where kidnappings were frequent in those years. The male protagonist played by Denzel Washington was originally a retired special forces soldier who had killed many people and retired. Relying on drunkenness, unable to free herself from the shadows of the year, she later met a little girl and was infected by it. However, the little girl was still kidnapped. In order to find out the murderer behind the scenes, the male...

      Could the foreplay be shorter?

      On one side is the precocious and caring little loli, and on the other side is the fat and depressed strange slut. Wei Shu protects the little loli, and the little loli influences the strange Shu... It was originally a beautiful story, until one day, the little loli was kidnapped. Shu Shu was very angry, and the consequences were serious - because Shu Shu was angry.

      Man on Fire, you can understand it as a man on fire, a man on a fire, a man on fire, or a man on fire... In short, Shu...

      I want to go home too, I'll go back behind you!

      Zan~
      I have a unique feeling in this scene. Pinta gave Cresse a pendant and said: This is the guide of the lost saints of the Dude saints. The next ten seconds made me trance, and suddenly I remembered that this killer is not too cold, this scene It's too warm, and it's the bright spot in the slightly lengthy foreshadowing ahead.
      What made an ex-killer who was drinking and having nightmares all day, constantly reading the Bible to seek forgiveness, and then fell into reincarnation...

      The flicker of ordinary humanity

      A killer who is disarmed and returned to the field, a cripple whose conscience has not been wiped out, but is constantly changed by the sincere words of a young girl.
      The power of conscience and justice is infinite, because it comes from God. Killers deal with killers in exchange for the lives of hostages. . .
      A touching scene appears at the end of the film. The happy eyes of the girl and mother also contain the memory of the dead killer, and at the same time, it is also a celebration...

      Three and a half stars, if the film can be shot normally, it will be a good revenge film, but the bells and whistles that fill the whole film constantly affect the viewing effect, and the ending is not handled...

      Hesitantly and pretending to be forceful, please, the screenwriter, don't let the hero's package be so easily hurt and melancholy, okay? Are you not bored? Can't we have a hearty revenge? If you are always doing redemption and advanced literary stuff, you might as well make a literary film - the little girl is not bad, she also played the daughter in "War of the Worlds",...

    Filming Highlights

    Heilgrande actually created two stories. One occurs in the first half of the film, that is, the protagonist resumes his normal life under the infection of the little girl; the other is the second half of the film, the protagonist embarks on a journey of revenge to rescue the little girl. In Helgrande's opinion, the story of the film is comparable to "Beauty and the Beast."
    Prior to the film, Scott had collaborated with Denzel Washington...

    Evaluation action

    The poster of the film is full of gunpowder, but this is definitely not the most anticipated part of the film, because the film's cost of more than 40 million will never create a T3-style hot effect. This time, the former soldier played by Washington is also a role that emphasizes both action and psychological drama. In particular, his emotional interaction with the little girl Dakota Fanny will become the focus of the film, and the...
