I think this movie is about promoting violence

It was advertised as the ambition of the Oscar-winning actor in Alagon in The Lord of the Rings, which is an exaggeration. The male protagonist is a criminal with violent tendencies, but later rehabilitates and reinvents himself, but after all, it is difficult to escape the violence. Viggo Mortensen's performance is not bad, it's okay, but the voice is a bit awkward, and the image of the king in the Lord of the Rings is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In my opinion, the male protagonist's family has a violent tendency, but fortunately, this tendency is usually used to protect himself. The movie does not have a clear theme. After reading it, I felt that the script was written for violence, and the actors served violence. The script entered the middle and late stages and began to be chaotic, which gave people the feeling of violence for the sake of violence.
