Violence that cannot be appreciated, I should continue to practice

It wasn't until the Arsenal fans were killed that I didn't know why the reviews I read about the director said he was addicted to outright violence. Not only to see the blood gurgling out, but also to see the wound on the throat getting bigger and bigger, it is really terrible.

On the contrary, the very controversial bathroom fight was more natural to me. For a man who is naked and thus obviously defenseless, he is sure to be warped if he does not kill the opponent severely. This couldn't be more normal.

The most questionable thing is, what is the driver who survives the hardship after turning positive? Or, is he undercover? Although many people are arguing about his identity, however, he seems to be undercover. But at the end of the day, it is unclear whether there is a bigger organization? And more evil heads?

The old man was the biggest suspense that the film gave me at the beginning. The character, who was called "The Godfather" by many reviews, didn't give me such a feeling that I was so disgusted with him after knowing his true identity - which is not seen in the real "Godfather". This kind of evil made me almost unaware that he calculated the driver to protect his son, the delicious soup he started to let the doctor taste, and the scenes of playing the violin for his granddaughter and celebrating the birthday of the old man.

The last thing I want to say is, don't always say that Chinese English is not good, then Russian English is evil enough...

    Nikolai Luzhin: Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is old-school, he understands things... exile or death.
